Episode Title:
The Man Who Envisions Love.
Episode Description:
Nozaki cleans his apartment for his editor Ken Miyamae, who appears so distant that Sakura thinks he and Ken's friendship is one-sided. However, Nozaki praises him in comparison to his previous editor Mitsuya Maeno. Sakura meets Nozaki's neighbour and manga artist Yukari Miyako, whose current editor is Maeno. Sakura learns of his narcissism and incompetence as an editor, such as pressuring Miyako to add tanukis in her manga and physically losing Miyako's manuscript. After reviewing a draft, Ken criticizes Nozaki's heroine for her lack of complicated feelings. Nozaki pretends to be Mamiko for a day in order to understand her character. Realizing Mamiko spends too much time thinking about love, Nozaki concludes to Ken that Mamiko should study for school more.
