Summary:

After seeing Urabe naked during the Hoshino Academy culture festival, Akira isn’t able to get the image out of his mind. It starts to affect him at school, as it’s hard for Akira to even look at Urabe without thinking about her naked. It gets to the point that he unconsciously tried to embrace Urabe, but Urabe deals out the usual panty scissor punishment on him. Though for the first time, Urabe messes up and a scratch appears on Akira’s forehead. Urabe gets really flustered by this and desperately asks Akira to stop by her home so she can treat his wound. While Urabe is treating his wound, Akira comments to Urabe that it is the first time her mark has been off. Urabe tells him that she had a strange dream last night and that’s probably the reason. Urabe has Akira taste her drool and after tasting it Akira’s head feels heavy and he can see Urabe’s naked body more vividly. Akira decides to leave because he can’t control himself. Urabe tries to stop him so she can treat his wound. Akira ends up tripping and is about to fall onto Urabe, but he remembers when Urabe pulled out her panty scissors and tries to change his trajectory. Akira succeeds but ends up crashing headfirst into Urabe’ bed post. Urabe asks him why he changed his course, and Akira tells her he would’ve fallen on her otherwise. Urabe embraces Akira and tells him that if he’s about to be hurt, it’s ok for him to fall on her.

That night Akira has a dream reflecting the soft sensation he felt from Urabe’s breast when she embraced him. Akira wakes up and affectionately touches the patch and Urabe placed on his forehead. At school Akira notices that Ueno also has a wound on his forehead. It seems that after Oka witnessed using her panty scissors on picture of Urabe that she took, Oka wanted to try imitating her by cutting Ueno’s hair. A classmate named Suawano comes by to pick up Akira so he can pick up some printouts for Tanaka-sensei. Suwano notices Akira’s patch coming off and takes it off and puts a band-aid on him. Akira notices Urabe looking at him, but before he can say anything Suawano drags him off. After school Urabe is surprised when she meets up with Akira because the band-aid on his forehead is gone, and a patch is once again on his forehead. Akira tells her that he feels that his wound will heal faster with Urabe’s gauze rather than the band-aid. When Akira and Urabe do their usual ritual, Urabe’s drool causes Akira to tightly embrace Urabe. Urabe blushes, and Akira apologizes but Urabe tells him that it’s ok since Urabe was the one who wanted Akira to embrace her.

Opinions:

Looks like Urabe and Akira got a few steps closer this episode. I thought it was pretty funny when Oka tried to imitate Urabe’s “cutting” style on Ueno. He seems to think it was cute, but honestly if it were me it’d be scary and traumatizing. Think about it, your girlfriend is coming at you full speed with a flurry of sharp scissors! To take any enjoyment out of that you’d have to have a fetish for yandere girls; and maybe that’s just what Ueno has maybe? It does seem like Oka’s the one running the relationship. That aside, we got a lot of cute reactions out of Urabe and Akira this episode. It was kinda refreshing seeing Urabe’s concerned face this episode. Normally she’s collected to the point that it borders on cold, but she was pretty frantic when she injured Akria’s forehead. The difference in attitude was super cute!……. is this what they call “gap moe”? Anyways, the next episode seems to be the last one, and it seems to focus a little on Akira’s sister!
