Ep. 23: Ryuuji e Taiga vendem chocolate enquanto Minori confronta Taiga sobre um mal-entendido

As Valentine's Day approaches, Ryuuji and Taiga get called in concerning their future ambitions form, though Taiga seems uninterested. Ryuuji encounters Ami refusing to model the school uniform and talks with her. Ami tells him that she originally planned to stay at school temporarily, but she stayed to help Taiga. Ryuuji gets a call from Taiga saying Yasuko had collapsed due to anemia from overworking. Ryuuji blames himself, but they both decide to fill in for Yasuko's part-time job of selling chocolate and use Ami's celebrity status to boost their sales. Taiga decides to make everyone some chocolate as thanks for the things they have done for her; however, when Minori notices that Taiga believed Yuusaku rescued her from the ski trip instead of Ryuuji, she becomes angry. She confronts Taiga, with Ami and Yuusaku blocking the exits, trying to get her to show her true feelings. Taiga says she only wanted Minori to be happy, but Minori says that happiness is something only she can decide for herself. Taiga runs off and Minori decides to go after her, asking Ryuuji if he will go after her too. (Source: Wikipedia)
