Ep. 12: Chizuru pressures Kouta to confess love while Tayura and Akane plan a gallery date

12

Chizuru attempts various strategies to persuade Kouta to declare his affection, growing increasingly frustrated by his reluctance. Meanwhile, Tayura invites Akane on a date, which she accepts with the specific request to visit an art gallery rather than a typical amusement park. The situation resolves when Kouta sees Chizuru crying in the rain on the bridge where they first met, prompting him to finally admit his love. The couple becomes official, but Nozomu interrupts to accept their relationship and declare herself Kouta’s mistress, a development that Chizuru surprisingly accepts despite Kouta’s dismay.
