Riku tries to return Mina’s handkerchief to her and ends up becoming intrigued by her, learning of her situation in the swimming club.

Impressions: 

Mina was definitely very cute in this episode. I loved how she got extremely embarrassed and kept holding and shaking her head when she asked Riku to be her support coach. She is just cute all around I think, although Tsukasa is good too, Mina is cuter and Tsukasa is hotter I think, if that makes any sense :D Anyways, there seemed to be some connection between them, and its obvious that Mina has feelings for Riku. However having two girls who like him automatically means that Riku is going to end up with neither of them and try for some Sayuri thing, which will kind of suck. He needs to pick Mina or Tsukasa and this show will be better.

My guess is that there may perhaps be some fall out between Tsukasa and Riku just because it’s almost as if it’s not a real relationship because of how Tsukasa pushed herself into it. They hardly featured her at all in this episode and from the preview it didn’t seem like the next episode would be focused on her either. I just hope they give Tsukasa and Mina enough closure and it won’t COMPLETELY suck if he goes for Sayuri.

I loved the bread store woman who appeared in this episode. Although she doesn’t seem to just sell bread, that’s what she was previously shown as. She definitely was interesting, coming up with what the others wanted to hear even if the item she was selling actually did nothing. She was also in the preview so she may appear in future episodes, random stuff like the chicken.
