Sunao deals with a daikon festival that they are promoting at school, while Leo with the information that calling Sunao was an insult, tries to find her to apologize.

Summary:

• Sunao has yet another dream, this time however ending in a romantic hold between Leo and Sunao. Sunao wakes up, wondering in concern why she had a romantic dream about Leo.
• Sunao goes to the roof of the school, thinking about the dream when Leo approaches her and tries to apologize for calling her a daikon, but she just runs off.
• The next day, Sunao finds that there is a festival going on in town all about daikons. Sunao is in complete disbelief and runs off to school. At school she finds a notice about the student council helping to promote the festival, that they are taking volunteers. Also, for the class that scores the lowest on the upcoming tests will be forced to all participate, wearing costumes and passing out fliers.
• Sunao tells her class how they must beat the other class so they can avoid having to take part in the daikon thing, and make the other class regret they were ever born.
• That evening, Shizuka and Noriko arrive at Sunao’s house to study with her. Before they get to work they both confront her about what the deal is between her and Leo. She eventually tells them how he called her a daikon when they were kids and it cased a lot of problems for her. They say however how they don’t think he is doing the thing at school now against Sunao, he is part of student council so has to help with it, and he had no control over it.
• The next morning, Leo arrives at Sunao’s house. Eventually they talk and Leo just flat out apologizes for calling her a daikon, saying how he meant it as a compliment but apologizes because he know snow it can be taken as an insult. Sunao is about to forgive him but then remembers some love letter on the stage back when they were kids and runs off.
• The next day at school, everyone takes the tests and Sunao’s class wins, however she scored low marks so she has to wear a daikon costume anyways. However she doesn’t object to it or anything, surprising Erika. Sunao puts it on and eventually talks with Leo, saying how she forgives him.

Impressions:

This episode surprised me a lot. There was a huge romantic aspect to it, especially with Sunao having the romantic dream about Leo and then being embarrassed whenever thinking about him. There was also a big part from Leo, although his current feelings aren’t necessarily clear at least he apologized to Sunao so he cleared the big block between the two of them, making it much easier for any further advancement to happen.

There was also a small bit regarding the romance part that they didn’t explain too thoroughly. They showed a shot of some love letter on the stage when Sunao was there as a kid. Although it’s a tad bit unsure of whom the letter was from, from Sunao to Leo or vice versa. It is likely from Sunao, as she is the one who has showed romantic interest whether she knows it or not.

I thought Sunao’s sister having a crush on Leo was hilarious. How she was just fawning over him and offering to bring him all those things. Especially the part where she asked if she could call him Onii-chan. Leo’s reaction was hilarious.
