In today's episode, the long awaited Kanya Festival finally begins! The group starts off having a sleepless night and on the morning of the big day, Oreki's sister gives him a pen and says that "the Cultural Club always gets into trouble!" (Foreshadowing, perhaps?) We get to the school and find out that there have been too many anthologies ordered, having 200 rather than the expected 30. Thus, the group splits up, trying to find a better stall and to advertise their product more. Not much gets succeeded, other than watching Chitanda being constantly distracted by all the booths in the fair. We also get a peak at Ibara's manga lab, where there are some fin Vocaloid cosplays. At the end of the episode, a punk-looking boy visits the Classic Club and Oreki sells him a copy of their anthology. He also asks to have the pen his sister gave him, since he needs an accessory for the fashion show. In return, the punk gives Oreki a pass to "flaunt his stuff" on stage; not that he needs to.

Not much was really accomplished today other than to introduce the setting of the Kanya Festival and to set up the plot for what it seems to be a new arc. Oreki's sister gave some foreshadowing that the club will end up in trouble, but it hasn't been clear what predicament they will be in. Perhaps it will have to do with the Fashion Show?
