Episode 11 Plot: Kenji is shown to consider himself to being an elite member of society, even considering himself able to get girls as an extreme. Despite an initial denial, he gradually realizes his romantic feelings for Shizuku. While walking to cram school, Kenji inadvertently hugs Shizuku in to move her from a bicycle's route. In that moment, Haru comes and hits him on the head. Kenji then gets in an argument with Haru ending with him hitting Shizuku on the head with a can after Kenji dodges it. While at class, Kenji tells Shizuku that she and Haru complement each other as a couple since they expend all their energy on one thing at a time: Shizuku for studying and Haru's focus on Shizuku. As he speaks, Kenji inadvertently says that he would be a better partner for Shizuku because of his multitasking ability. Eventually Shizuki compliments his appeal as a person causing him to feel some sort of victory. Afterwards, Haru offers to walk with him when he got lost. As Haru walks on ahead of him, Kenji has a flashback of his past with Haru, showing how Haru became cold and violent around elementary school. Kenji tells Haru how much he has changed, although Haru disagrees and says that the only one who has changed is Shizuku. Kenji eventually takes a taxi home and Haru remains at the bus stop. Here he reminisces about his past with Yuzan. It is revealed that their family was thrown into turmoil because of him, prompting Yuzan to wish that Haru didn't exist, finally explaining Haru's brother complex: avoiding Yuzan because of his true feelings. Shizuku shows up and Haru suddenly hugs her. He finally tells her his true feelings, of his suffering because his bizarre ways of showing others affection, makes them hate and leave him. Shizuku has the realization that her inability to understand him is the root of their problem.
