Episode synopsis
Haruka reveals that her father, Gentō, found out about her hobby and went on a rage, confiscating her anime goods and she leaves with her first issue of Innocent Smile. She hides in Yūto's house alongside Hazuki, while Mika prepares a 'secret weapon' to counter their father. Unfortunately, the next morning, Gentō arrives and assaults the Ayase house with his personal squad, the Hell Hounds. Haruka refuses to go home, and Yūto openly protests about the ostracization towards anime-otaku and disapproval towards Haruka's hobby. Eventually, Mika and Nanami arrives with their 'secret weapon': Haruka's mother Akiho, who verbally and mentally brings down Gentō and makes him leave after apologizing for his outburst.
About Haruka Nogizaka's Secret
Haruka Nogizaka is beautiful, intelligent, and talented at the piano. A true idol of Hakujo Academy. Yuuto Ayase on the other hand is an ordinary guy who, thanks to his hard-drinking older sister and her lecherous friend corrupting his life, has reportedly given up on women. However, one day in the school library, Yuuto stumbles into a rare issue of a magazine catering to anime and nerd culture--or rather, the girl holding it, who turns out to be none other than Haruka Nogizaka herself! Terrified of others realizing that she isn’t as “perfect” as she claims to be, Haruka runs away from Yuuto... but this is one woman that Yuuto just can’t give up on!
