Synopsis

Ayumi Arihara believes that being loved is the ultimate key to happiness—which is why her greatest wish is to have a boy confess to her. A series of unfortunate events leads to her ideal dream coming true, albeit in a nightmarish way: the towering and terrifying Misao Zaitsu confesses his love to Ayumi through a letter. Mentally exhausted from not knowing what to do, Ayumi collapses in class. A classmate comes to her rescue, carrying her princess-style to the infirmary. This makes Ayumi fall in love with the cute boy, only to realize he is none other than Misao's younger brother, Mamoru. Feeling caught between a rock and a hard place, Ayumi must decide whether to stick to her idea of love or pursue what she truly desires. However, Ayumi is not alone in her struggles—all her friends are also taking on the challenges of first love, and for teenagers, it is never as easy as it seems. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This episode makes for a great season finale, featuring many unexpected declarations of love. Additionally, various pieces of different love triangles fall into place, setting the stage for a strong start to the next season. I would recommend this anime to anyone who enjoys teen romances and comedy.

danielapradadnp★★★★★VerifiedEP 115d

I really liked this episode because, throughout the anime, the focus has mostly been on the girls' feelings. Here, however, we get to see how the boys are processing the fact that their affections aren't fully reciprocated by the girls they love. It’s quite entertaining and features some bizarre situations.

danielapradadnp★★★★★VerifiedEP 105d

This episode focuses on my favorite couple in the series and introduces new characters who heighten the tension between them. It is quite funny, yet it shows us that, unlike the girls, the guys are having a harder time with their romantic lives.
