These two episodes explore more of the history of Mitsuki and Takayuki, as well as some Akane. The story diverts a little bit from the drama CDs, especially in the way that Akane finds out that Mitsuki and Takayuki are going out. There's also some references in the anime that require background knowledge from the video game. Thank goodness I played it before watching.

While the animation and everything else is about the same as previous episodes, I love this volume because it includes the concert video of Minami Kuribayashi singing the opening. While I didn't like the intro before, watching her perform it live made me appreciate the song a lot more. She sure can sing (and when I get the concert DVD, I can elaborate more).

First pressing includes some cards and a reversible cover. The music video, along with a few AyuMayu short animations are in all editions.

5. During a rainy night in the present, Mitsuki has a flashback to how things were the year after Haruka's accident. Takayuki was a complete mess not even taking care of himself. Mitsuki and Akane were getting alone pretty well and Akane asks Mitsuki to take care of Takayuki. However, one thing leads to another and Mitsuki and Takayuki start dating and buy mutual presents for each other, a dolphin and octopus cup. Haruka's parents tell Takayuki not to visit anymore for his own benefit and later that night, he and Mitsuki sleep together. The next morning, Akane walks into Takayuki's apartment to find a naked Mitsuki.

6. Present day again and Takayuki goes to visit Haruka. After he leaves, he meets her parents who appreciate what he's doing despite having his own life. Later, Mitsuki comes to the hospital to talk to Akane, but Akane brushes her off, not allowing her to unload the feelings she's been carrying around on her chest. Takayuki comes to the hospital right afterwards and visits Haruka. After some reservations, they recite their little poem.
