This episode’s story is not dramatic. However, even in spite of that, it is one that viewers will not lose interest in. While the story is reaching its midway point in this episode, the comedic taste that has had viewers laughing since the first episode is not just intact, but rather feels powered up.

In this episode, Kamazuki Suzuno, a girl who moves in next door to Mao, and Emi go shopping together, but Suzuno is so unused to Japanese culture that she can’t even buy a ticket. There are no doubt many viewers who thought the appearance of this inexperienced Suzuno was cute.

Meanwhile, Mao becomes a temporary manager at his part-time job and is entrusted to run the restaurant for the first time. However, the rival restaurant that has just opened across the street, Centucky Fried Chicken, is stealing all their customers. Just then, a suspicious-looking man enters the restaurant. He ends up being the manager of Centucky Fried Chicken. What the heck are his intentions? And how will Mao bring their customers back? This episode is full of questions.
