Summary

Another Masamune appears in front of Aki named Gasou Kanetsugu. Summer break ends and Masamune continues his approach on Aki but he learns that he is Aki’s betrothed. Masamune sees that Aki’s attitude toward Kanetsugu is completely different from how she treats him, so he panics and goes to Yoshino to figure out what to do, but...

Plot

The new Masamune wants to see the head of the Adagaki family and gives a letter to the butler. The butler then reads that Taigen Adagaki promises the 15th-generation Kanetsugu Gaso that his child, the 17th-generation head, will marry into Adagaki family. Masamune then explains that he is the 17th-generation Kanetsugu Gasō.

At school, the ace of the baseball team asks Aki out, but she rejects him and writes on his shirt that his nipples are visible. Sonoka and Kikune are happy to see Aki rejecting another guy, but Aki states its normal. Mari wonders if that is really true as lately she is spending more time with Masamune than with them. The two of them even spend the summer vacation together on a private beach. Aki tries to explain that she wanted to invite only Shuri, but Mari notes that Shuri is also a man. Kanetsugu is surprised to learn that Aki has a private beach and asks to invite him next time. The girls start to feel pity for him as Aki is about to reject him, however Aki states she will consider it, which shocks the girls. As Aki and Kanetsugu leave, Mari states they may have gotten things wrong and Aki to not be just Cruel Princess, but to actually like chubby guys.

Masamune heads into class, being in good mood and feeling more attractive, however he is surprised to see Neko there as she was supposed to go overseas for an operation. Neko explains that she did went and had returned already. Since its been a month since they last saw each other, she wonders how is his relationship with Aki progressing, but Masamune states he was just training. Neko sees Aki and Kanetsugu outside and tells Masamune that if he doesn't take his chance, he may lose her. Masamune is surprised, but seeing that Kanetsugu is chubby, he doesn't feel he is any competition.

Later, Masamune heads to Aki's classroom to give her a present and show how much he had grown. As he sees Kanetsugu with her, he wonders who is he. Kanetsugu then introduces himself and explains that he had just transferred. As his nickname is also "Masamune", Kanetsugu tells Aki that it will be better to not use his nickname to not get confused with the actual Masamune. Masamune then wonders what is their relationship and Kanetsugu explains that he is her betrothed. Shocked, Masamune runs and takes Yoshino with him. Yoshino explains its true and she tried to call him, but since Masamune was training in the mountains, he had no reception. Yoshino believed that Aki will turn him down, but she is acting a bit strange, like she is in love.

Angry, Masamune starts observing Kanetsugu, finding out that he is good at sports, smart and gets well with both girls and boys. Later, Yoshino tells Masamune that apparently Aki had met Kanetsugu in the past. Masamune can't believe Aki is fine with him, given how she insulted him when he was fat, and only gets more angry. Meanwhile, Sonoka, Kikune and Mari are sad that they are losing Aki. Kanetsugu shows up and they get angry at him for taking Aki from them, but he states they got the wrong idea and wants to explain things.

For the upcoming festival, Tae has an idea for their class project. She suggests that Kojuri will play Snow White, while Masamune the prince. The two don't like the idea, but as the class gets excited, Masamune feels they have lost. Later, Masamune sees that Aki is alone and pulls her wanting to talk. She tells him that his zipper is opened. Masamune checks it, but relaxes seeing its closed, however Aki used that time to sneak away from him.

Earlier, Kanetsugu tells the girls that he is engaged to Aki, but has no intention on furthering their relationship. Aki is quite beautiful, however he is not for her and won't even kiss her. The girls then feel that Aki is protected while she is with Kanetsugu, but will lose her purity if she is with Masamune and decide to stop Masamune. Sonoka is Student Council's Vice President. She sees that both Class 2-A and 2-B had submitted a request to do Snow White on the festival. Another member then suggest they approve 2-B since they proposed it first, but Sonoka states they will approve 2-A. Class 2-B is informed that their request is declined, but Tae can't accept it and heads to Class A to make them change their mind. However, Mari declines, stating that they decided to do Snow White with Aki playing Snow White and Kanetsugu playing the prince. Aki tells Tae that they should give up as "Snow White" with just men is futile, but Tae finds it weirder with having a fat prince. Kanetsugu comes and tells them that they should calm down and tells Aki to consider how Tae feels because she was just rejected. Aki then calms down and states that she can understand her. Masamune then suggest that both classes do the play and let the popular vote determine the winner. Since the best project is determined by the popular project, it will be easier for the people to decide which is better. They all agree and decide to make it into competition. Masamune proposes another competition to Kanetsugu, stating that whoever wins will get to dance with Aki at the post-festival party. Kanetsugu then agrees.
