Spring 2022 Preview: A Couple of Cuckoos
There's really a lot going on in the previous episode. The first half focused on Nagi's interaction with Hiro, his crush and the smartest and the most popular girl at school. Since Nagi managed to steal the first spot from Hiro in the latest exam, he decided to confess his feelings to her. Unfortunately, Hiro said that she cannot reciprocate his feelings because she already has a fiancée. Although it was terrible news for Nagi, at least they both can freely talk like friends now.
The last half of episode 4 focused mostly on Sachi, Nagi's sister and Erika's biological sister, who comes to visit the house where Nagi and Erika live together. It was a very nerve racking moment for both girls. Any attempts by Nagi to defuse the situation ended up making things worse, which was hilarious. Thankfully Erika and Sachi managed to open up a bit to each other, and they quickly became closer.
Episode 5 saw a major development in the story of Nagi and his potential love interests, particularly Erika and Hiro. Continuing from the last episode, despite getting rejected, Nagi now found himself having a morning study session together with Hiro.
