Ep. 2: Hagu and Rika struggle with persistent hiccups while Yamada and Rika celebrate their project completion.
Hagu experiences severe hiccups that Professor Hanamoto fails to cure until Morita’s arrival exacerbates the condition. Takemoto eventually resolves the issue with a specific technique. Meanwhile, Yamada submits a project to Professor Shōda, earning his delight and prompting a celebration with Rika. Mayama offers them lodging for the night. The following morning, Kaoru encounters Morita at the art school, expressing dissatisfaction with his presence despite Morita’s enjoyment. Professor Hanamoto advises Yamada that Rika speaks less to those she likes, citing Mayama and himself as examples. When Rika suggests Yamada pursue full-time pottery, she begins hiccuping. After Hanamoto’s attempt fails, Mayama successfully stops her hiccups with another method. The group shares dinner, during which Yamada attempts to distract Rika from her feelings for Mayama.
