Episode Title:
Kiss or Hug / Black Cats and White Dogs
Episode Description:
As the broadcast club conducts their activities by reading anonymous messages related to love, Nene and Rikka argue on whether a kiss or hug would effectively advance a relationship. Arisu arrives to inform them that their quarrel is being broadcast, and Lemon advises them to not talk about romance publicly. Shinobu then notices Arisu's closeness with the other girls by referring them to their first names. After conducting a study session with Arisu, Shinobu internally admits she feels inadequate even with Arisu's help due to her dreams being vastly different from the rest of the club. Shinobu also points out how Arisu's efforts to assist them also helped Iko, Nene, and Rikka to grow closer to him, and she selfishly wishes to spend more time with Arisu than pursue her dreams. Shinobu requests to Arisu that he can call her by her first name when she is able to make substantial progress on her dreams.
