Ep 1Anticipation
When Yamato meets Suzuka for the first time, he believes that it is "love at first sight." In this episode, Yamato moves to the Girl's Dormitory that his aunt runs, and meets both his aunt, as well as his cousin Miho. Just as he thinks that life in a spa would be wonderful, he meets two very strange college girls. One of the girls, Yuuka, immediately starts harassing him, and in an embarrassing situation, he realizes that Suzuka also lives in the dormitory.
Ep 2Smile
Yashunobu, Yamato's "friend" from childhood suddenly shows up one day in Yamato's room. His past is revealed to be a perverted child. He never shows this trait in front of adults, so he is thought to be more mature than Yamato. In addition, it is revealed that he is also very mischievous, playing tricks all the time. To prevent Yasunobu from hitting on Suzuka, Yamato tells Yasunobu that Suzuka is an ugly 50-year-old woman, getting himself in trouble with Suzuka.
Ep 3Sick Day
At last, Yamato starts attending the local school. During breaks, he realizes that he is pretty much alone, since Suzuka has track friends, and Yasunobu has his local friends. When least expecting it, he is approached by Honoka, who is revealed to be part of Yamato's past. He later accompanies Suzuka shopping, resulting in him getting sick. When he hears a knock on the door, with anticipation he expects Suzuka, only to find Yasunobu accompanied by, surprisingly, Honoka.
Ep 4Field Day
It is the day of the fitness tests, and while Yamato was a legend in his hometown schools, he is failing miserably in his new school. Later, he realizes that this school specializes in sports. Initially, Yamato was unwilling to run the track test, due to his "abysmal" running in middle school. Eventually, he is persuaded to run, and reveals himself to be faster than the boy who got into the school through sprinting scholarship. According to Yasunobu, this supposedly earned him "points" with Suzuka.
Ep 5Eye of the Storm
When Yamato finds Suzuka talking to Miyamoto, a person on the track team, he gets curious, but when he hears them talking about doing something together, he gets jealous. Eventually, when Yamato is caught listening in on their conversation, he realizes that Miyamoto was only asking Suzuka for help in asking Yamato onto the track team, due to his spectacular performance the day before. In addition to this good surprise, Yamato also discovers Suzuka’s feminine side during a lightning storm.
Ep 6A Day at the Park
When a weird newspaper girl appears in front of Yamato’s room, offering two tickets to the amusement park with a subscription to the newspaper, Yamato thinks that the free day they have coming up is the best time to ask Suzuka out. Unfortunately, Megumi and Yuuka go into his room to goof off, and his tickets end up getting shredded by his cat. When all hope is lost, Suzuka “humbly” asks him out, using tickets that she got from the same newspaper girl. Using such a perfect chance, will Yamato confess his feelings?
