I don't know if they're serious, but that's what they say at the beginning: since they've both turned 20 (Chinami's birthday was May 22), they want to try living alone (一人暮らし).
Though they're not going to find much that fits Captain's stated budget of 80,000 yen per month. Not in Tokyo.

I'm looking for a new place myself, and I wish I had choices like those. Living in a Midwestern university town like I do, there seems to be only two types of apartments here: small and crappy (for students and service workers), or big and nice (for professionals and university faculty). After all of my uncluttering, I don't really have much stuff anymore, so I want something small and nice. No such luck.
