Principal Kuno recruits a new educator named Torajirou Higuma to the school. Higuma assumes responsibility for helping Ranma and Akane openly express their romantic feelings for one another. The teacher operates on the belief that the characters should confess their emotions while they are still young. This initiative aims to resolve the tension between the two students by forcing them to acknowledge their affection directly under the guidance of the newly hired instructor.
