Episode Title:
Tanaka-kun's Happiness.
Episode Description:
Tanaka despairs when he is moved to the front row, until Miyano points out she can’t see from her new seat behind Ohta, so a lucky Tanaka quickly swaps seats to sleep behind Ohta. This places him beside Shiraishi who is determined to become closer to Tanaka but can barely start a conversation before he falls asleep or Ohta interrupts. Tanaka eventually tells her watching him makes him uncomfortable, depressing her, until he also tells her patience is a good thing. Shimura and Kato see Tanaka with Shiraishi in her comfortable outfit and accuse Tanaka of having a secret girlfriend. Tanaka is subjected to many annoying questions that eventually cause him to snap at his friends. A guilty Shiraishi tries to explain but is stopped by Miyano who mistakenly thinks she is heartbroken about Tanaka’s girlfriend. Ohta asks Echizen if he can carry her around as a Tanaka replacement, causing her to punch him as she thought he was going to confess to her. Walking home alone Tanaka is subjected to many annoying distractions he could have avoided if his friends were there, making him miss them. Ohta realises the girl was a relaxed Shiraishi and provides a believable explanation. The next day everyone apologises and Shiraishi thanks Ohta for saving Tanaka. However, she is depressed when Tanaka decides girlfriends definitely cause too much drama for him to ever want one, but she decides to carry on being patient anyway.
