TROUBLE DURING THE HOME STRETCH The crowdfunding deadline’s almost here, and everyone’s working as hard as possible to ensure things succeed. Wait, why does that mean Mizuhara has to go on a date with Umi, the handsome guy from her acting class?! Umi claims it’s only a get-together as friends, and he promises to spread the word of Mizuhara’s campaign on his popular Twitter account if she meets with him. Is that truly all he’s after, though? Could this mean a new romantic rival for Kazuya at the worst possible time?!

And she has a bombshell to drop… A practice date quickly turns into an all-too-real battle!

But a mysterious new figure enters the picture, who seems to know quite a lot about his “romantic” life…
