Ep. 8: Tamahiko volta à escola e conhece sua nova colega de classe, Hakaru

Tamako learns about Tamahiko's bid to return to school, so she puts him in touch with their uncle Tamasuke, who decides to sponsor him. While he studies to take a remedial exam, popular musician Kotori Shiratori comes to town for a performance. Despite not knowing her, Tamahiko takes a break from studying to go with Yuzu and the local kids to watch her perform, finding that he enjoys the young lady's songs. He later passes the exam and starts school again. He discovers that Kotoro's twin brother Hakaru is transferring in at the same time. Tamahiko is unpopular with his classmates, with only Hakaru taking an interest in him, and the two get in trouble with a teacher. Having to do another assignment as punishment, Tamahiko takes Hakaru to his place and introduces him to Yuzuki, then lies to her about how his day went. Hakaru calls him out for it when they're alone, but acknowledges his desire to keep Yuzu happy. At dinner, Hakaru calls Tamahiko his friend and promises to return. True to his word, he later shows up with Kotori in tow, shocking Yuzuki. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
