Taiki continues to practice badminton, but he remains determined to get closer to Chinatsu (despite the many doubts from his friends). His friend Kyo teases him, saying it’s impossible, while another friend, Hina, lectures him on understanding girls.
Such words don’t deter Taiki, and soon, he gets closer to Chinatsu. Nothing major, but he gets opportunities to interact with her. For him, These interactions are cherished and quite fulfilling.
There is a scene where his gentlemanly and attentive attitude is shown as he offers her tissues when she’s feeling under the weather, and Chinatsu appreciates that gesture. These small, meaningful exchanges lay the groundwork for a deeper connection.
A real shocker comes when Taiki learns that Chinatsu’s family is moving overseas in the episode, and he confronts her, panicking in front of the school building. He is embarrassed that she is just staying with a family friend.
An unexpected twist that leaves the audience gaping for breath between laughs is that it is Taiki’s family that Chinatsu is moving into. The cliffhanger further leaves much room for character development in the series.
