The energy of the first episode finally returned - I just hope it's not a one-time thing, because when the show sticks to comedy, it's a lot of fun to watch. When it tries too hard to be sappy and dramatic, however, it's just plain dull.

Despite my predilection for drama shows, I'm in the mood to laugh lately.

Nice episode. Actually, a paraphrased version of what was several encounters between Ayase and Seiji in the manga, and a different - and bit more fanservicey - ending, but a good episode nevertheless.
