Ep. 8: Mahiru’s Lap Request and School Cooking Project Jealousy
Aired on February 25, 2023

In the new term, Amane and Mahiru share a class where Mahiru casually touches him and asks him to rest his head in her lap. Amane falls asleep, and Mahiru claims this side of her is exclusive to him. He wins stuffed animals for her and chooses pudding, though he embarrasses himself by praising her cooking. The next day, Mahiru feels jealous of Yuta’s public conversations with Amane. She initiates casual interactions at school, joining a cooking project with Amane, Itsuki, and Chitose. When other students nearly burn Mahiru, Amane saves her, holding her longer than necessary and drawing jealous stares. Mahiru worries about Amane’s comfort with public attention and is visibly upset about the delay until they can interact casually in public.
