Rinko's crush wasn't Makoto, but Takeo! Elated by having a girlfriend for the very first time, Takeo's heart is about to burst from happiness. But Takeo's true mettle is about to be tested when a major accident occurs during a singles meetup between his and Rinko's friends...

When Rinko makes an offhand comment that she'd like the two of them to go to the same university, it motivates Takeo to study like his life depends on it. But Rinko's first choice school is Murasakifuji, a top university. Takeo crams in preparation for a benchmark exam to figure out his chances for getting in, but will he make the cut?

Takeo's mother's due date is approaching, but she continues to engage in household chores with dangerous enthusiasm. She ridicules Takeo for being anxious for her well-being, but an unexpected incident causes her to evaluate her son.
