- Okama and Miki went on Date
- Miki wants to date other guys at the same time because Tarou suggested it.
- Miki runs into Dan, a friend of Okama, and she falls in love with Dan because he saved her from men, a manly thing to do.
- Okama's manliness is coming into question comparing himself to Dan, and macho man
- Because Okama couldn't be a proper man, he took it out on Miki and made her cry
- Okama feels like he has lost Miki's love and the struggle between Okama and Catherine persists as Dan and Miki's relationship develops.
- Tauro, despite loving Catherine, helps Okama by making Dan fall in love with her because she couldn't stand to see catherine depressed
- Miki no longer likes Dan and Dan becomes an okama.

Reaction
- The way that Dan calls Okama's the devil and his hypermasculinity made me really uncomfortable
- The fact that Miki is willing to date a guy who actively hates the existence of her best friend, Catherine, just because he is an okama is really disgusting and super disrespectful.
- The sex jokes started to get old and overplayed
- Dan represents what my perception of the average straight males reaction to queer people. The other straight guys are surprisingly secure in there sexuality and interactions with the Okama.
- It ended unresolved which is very disappointing.

Overall, I thought this episode was really good because it delved into the topic of masculinity and how women can be turned of by perceived femininity in men which demonstrates the struggle Okama is going through and whether he should reveal himself as Catherine. It made me uncomfortable, but in a good way that set the stage at which culture was at given that time period. Rating: 7.5
