玉野陽美 — Storyboard Artist
Episodes 3
The studio has total power failure!
The approach of a Category II typhoon becomes the forum of an anxious Natsume forcing the reluctant Tetsuo into an impromptu honey-do list of emergency home repairs while Yuu teases him at school commute inception; while Yuu divides her energies between the school commute and splashing through the puddles along the way, Shingo and Hayato are discussing the commercial that afternoon involving Creamy Mami when Hayato goes into a story of how there are ghosts in the studio where Megumi demonstrates some of the disadvantages of showbiz. Yuu's school cuts classes short because of the typhoon which affords plenty of time to rush to the studio where an unscrupulous news reporter named Snake Joe takes advantage of Megumi's disgust with the office politics by killing the electricity in the building; neither gets very far when a ghost panics them into fainting. It ultimately falls on Yuu to save the day by photographing Megumi and Snake Joe red-handed in the generator room prior to restoring the power; Yuu's heroism does nothing to save from being in very choppy water with Natsume and Tetsuo being anxious for her safety.

Even though he has royal responsibilities that take precedence over it by far, the prince Ayumi exerts a great effort to reconnect with his childhood friend Toshio who is practicing his soccer skills with Midori when Yuu arrives wanting to join in; Yuu is not as practiced in soccer as Toshio and loses control of the ball. Toshio's ball now in hand, Yuu encountering Ayumi sets the stage for a sequence of reminiscing before the sentries force the kids into a hasty retreat. Now at the wrecked ship, Yuu happily runs around exploring the ship with Midori on her heels before deciding to search for the treasure in earnest; things go sour when Midori inadvertently knocks the ship loose from its resting place where the waves can easily capsize it. Yuu finds Ayumi's treasure but is ultimately forced to forego it to save everybody as Creamy Mami when the ship begins sinking; as far as Ayumi is concerned, the opportunity to spend time with Yuu and Toshio is a far greater treasure than the gold statue he had intended for her.
Read MoreYuu & Midori's first date!
Toshio pays the peckish Midori a visit to entreat his company to a Creamy Mami concert that gives way to the contest for who gets a date with Mami; for Toshio, Shingo has already polluted the lottery. When Yuu offers it to him as a consolation prize, Toshio laughs at her and suggests that Midori would be better suited for such a thing; while Midori agonizes over what he should do on a date before asking Mamoru for help, Posi picks up on how Yuu is having second thoughts with dating Midori and is in anguish over how she always quarrels with Toshio. Zero hour for the date finds that both Toshio and Mamoru are uneasy about how Midori will do on a date with Yuu; sure enough, the date has barely begun and their anxieties are already proven not unfounded. Midori being quite the gentleman to Yuu who enjoys his company ultimately does not supersede that Yuu would much rather spend time with Toshio because of their prologue together; Midori comes to grips with the fact that the most mileage he will attain with Yuu is the big brother-little sister kind of love.
