Ep. 18: Mio and Ritsu prepare for Romeo and Juliet roles while Azusa worries about concert rehearsals.

18

Mio and Ritsu are dismayed to be cast as Romeo and Juliet in their class play. Mio struggles with stage pressure, while Ritsu fails to act ladylike enough. After rejecting other girls' training, they hold a cram session, impersonating each other to find the key to their roles. Tsumugi notices Mio’s lack of confidence and arranges for her to work as a maid in a high-end cafe to overcome embarrassment. Although Mio gains some confidence, she insists this experience differs from being on stage. Meanwhile, Azusa becomes concerned that everyone is focused on play rehearsals, leaving no one to prepare for the upcoming live concert.
