Ep. 17: Raku seeks a romantic charm while Chitoge enjoys free festival items with him
Aired on May 3, 2014

During a temple festival, Raku encounters Chitoge. She notices that numerous items are available for free whenever she is accompanied by Raku, which leads her to decide to spend time with him. Despite this pleasant interaction, Raku remains focused on a single objective. His primary concern is not the festivities or his companion, but rather the need to acquire a specific item. He intends to purchase a charm designed to foster a romantic relationship. This singular goal drives his actions throughout the event, overshadowing the casual atmosphere and the benefits Chitoge is experiencing. The narrative centers on this contrast between Chitoge's enjoyment of the free offerings and Raku's determined pursuit of the romantic talisman.
