Ep. 9: Rivals

Chiyuki tells Ikuto about her experiences with Kokoro, while he tells her his show's theme will be about "wind". It is not until they arrive at Yanagida's do Chiyuki, Ikuto, and Kokoro realize that they all know one another. However, things change for everybody when Chiyuki and Ikuto witness another confrontation between Kokoro and Igarashi. Recalling how Ikuto placed his faith in Kokoro's hard work and real conviction to be a designer, Chiyuki decides to become a model for Kokoro's show. She then declares that her and Ikuto are officially rivals and resolve to do their best. Now without Chiyuki, Ikuto has to redo all his designs. When Ikuto visits his mother at the hospital, she promises him that the entire family will go watch his show. At Geika, Ikuto announces to Toh that he will prove him wrong and invites Ryuunosuke Eda, Kaoru's childhood friend who specializes in men's clothing, to help him out with his new theme of "harmony (chou-wa)", which is also Toh's theme, turning things into a head-on fight. Utilizing experience from Yanagida, Ryuunosuke's help and his own creativity, Ikuto heads to the Geika Festival. (Source: Wikipedia)
