Ughhh their timing is always off. 

Futaba goes on a date with Toma, she gets to know him more and see more of him; how nice of a guy he is. Toma’s actually really sweet. Although it does seem as if he’s rushing Futaba into a relationship she’s not really sure she wants. Futaba still has feelings for Kou. And while he’s trying to sort his situation out with Narumi, he runs out of time to tell Futaba how he feels. 

Toma asks Futaba to go out with him and she accepts. Meanwhile, Uchimiya and Yuri start dating.
