Although Professor Ikeda recommended that he go on to a doctoral course, he couldn't decide his course, but he touched on Professor Ikeda's love for muscle training and worked hard on his unfamiliar abdominal muscles on the sofa. Torasuke falls in love with such a thorn field. On the other hand, worried about Himuro who caught a cold at the turn of the season, Yukimura goes to visit his house, but he gets excited by the heat and gets excited by the glossy Himuro. Yukimura suddenly hides in the futon of the ice house

Yukimura and Himuro allow Yamamoto to turn their experiences thus far into a manga and Yamamoto collects proof of love from her readers in return. The manga becomes very popular. Yamamoto, pleased with herself, says that an anime adaptation may not be just a dream. In the meantime, Kanade, still bothered by the love she experienced back in high school, gives some hard thought to the confession she received from Shikijou. Seeing Kanade so full of anxiety over the question, "what is love anyway," Yukimura tries to give her some advice and pulls out a whiteboard where he begins to write out an equation.

After worrying long and hard over what to do about Shikijou's invitation to go hang out together, Kanade decides to try going on the date with him. When Himuro hears about it she leans forward excitedly to congratulate Kanade on finding someone she might fall in love with. Himuro is also eager to observe and analyze Kanade's date from afar in order to put it to good use in her own research. As she's thinking about this, Yukimura arrives and proclaims that he has devised a new standard unit for the measurement of favorable feeling, the Kanade love power. Then, Kanade's date becomes a double date!

The Ikeda Lab is, as is traditional, doing something for the university's Mutsumi Festival, an event which draws many people from off-campus. Yukimura proposes conducting a large-scale experiment on the importance of appearance for romance. He has readied a large number of cosplay costumes to rent out to visitors who will then participate in an attractiveness rating. In order to emphasize how important appearance is, Yukimura projects a series of images of Himuro in cosplay on the screen, including Himuro in a nurse's uniform, a maid's uniform, and a black cat style outfit?!
