----------------------------------------
Inami said sorry to Takanashi for breaking Magic Hand. lol~ he already ordered another and got extra!
Poplar and Yamada came and Yamada told Poplar about Takanashi and Inami's last time. Inami said they don't have to hide the fact that they stayed at Takanashi's house last time. Takanashi said he's keeping everything about his house from Poplar!
End of day. Takanashi is in a hurry for buying soy sauce cheaper, so he's not going home with Inami. Inami, who's changing in changing room said he lost to soy sauce. And Poplar is still looking at pics of Takanashi in girl outfit. Satou said if he's not a guy, he would probably in love with him.
Poplar just wants to be like him in girl outfit, and Satou said she should grow a bit more in order to reach that goal, though it's not always good to be tall.
Poplar cannot give up with Takanashi being a girl, but Satou knows that it would be unfortunate for Takanashi. So Poplar sensing that Takanashi keeping something in secret and felt that he became not liking her. Inami, from changing room, said it's not true. Thinking that he just doesn't want her to know about his sisters, she spilled out that Poplar is more liked.
Poplar found Takanashi's Student Id, so she's going to go to his house to deliver it, Inami was shocked but couldn't go out because she's not done with changing yet.
Poplar is arrived to his house. She met his eldest sister. She hugged Poplar because she's so cute! Then his second oldest sister and Nazuna showed up. And she just realized that they are his family...
Takanashi realized he lost his student ID after getting soy sauce. His face went all blue when he saw Poplar in front of his house. Now she's more sad about the fact that she's short.
Poplar is very very sad the next day because Takanashi told her the last day that if he told her, she might laugh at him. Takanashi is not trusting her.
Takanashi came and told Inami he might hurt Poplar, who said he shouldn't have hide the fact.
The customer is calling and Inami said she will go instead of him so that he can say sorry to Poplar. But he kind of want to take her back because she's so cute with crunching into even smaller one!
Inami trying to tell Poplar the reason he's been keeping fact about his family because he was shameful and treasuring the sempai of her. Poplar feels sorry for Inami now...
Takanashi said sorry and Poplar said he doesn't understand her feeling (as well as Inami's feeling, she thinks). lol @ Takanashi's response. She told him the truth about the feel of not being trusting, and he promised he would do what she wants! Then Takanashi thought he would be asked to wear girl's outfit again, but she requested for him to date Inami. Takanashi and Inami, who walked near them, shocked! Takanashi thought she would request another thing, but she gave up.
lol @ Souma's sudden appearance! He said Takanashi should date her while wearing girl's outfit! Takanashi sensing Souma's "sound interesting" mode.
Takanashi in deep thought. He said ok about dating but no to wearing girl's outfit.
Inami beat up Takanashi 5 times today because she's worrying about the date. Inami depressed while Poplar with her. Souma and Satou woke Takanashi up. Souma suggested he should wear girl's outfit instead... Takanashi said he would rather got beaten up many times than wearing girl's outfit. Satou, seeing Takanashi leaving, said he's not thinking about canceling the date then.
Yamada also with them... Inami said she should cancel the date.
Poplar said she shouldn't give up so fast!
Poplar, because there's not enough time, asked Yamada for things to tie up Inami so that she cannot use her hands.
Yachiyo and Tencho saw her tied up... Tencho mentioned one thing, can she work when her hands being tied up?
lol @ trying out with Souma and Satou. lol even more @ Souma and Satou using long chapsticks to poke Inami!
Satou poked Poplar, too, so Yamada said why didn't he poke her as well? Souma said not interested...
Satou told Poplar that she should bring tied up Inami to Takanashi. Satou then said Souma is to take care of Yamada and Satou will take care of bringing Inami to Takanashi!
Poplar is not trusting them, so she's bringing Inami to Takanashi.
When Takanashi saw her tied up, he said it's finally done, huh?! He said he thought about this idea once.
Inami still kickes him because she's embarrased of Takanashi about to touch her. So he has thought that coming.
So the result... no punching, then there's kicking. Takanashi said there might be more ways to attack guys (like biting).
... more problems.
Inami said they should cancel the date because she's afraid of attacking Takanashi. He said he knows that. He said ok knowing that condition.
Poplar and Yamada are amazed at how manly Takanashi is, and Inami is blushing.
The day before their date and after Takanashi and Inami left, Yachiyo noticed something about the shift.
Takanashi telling his sister about the date and she is afraid and ran away!
Both of them are preparing what they wear for tomorrow. Inami is nervous about various things, then the solution to finding source is love novel.
Inami's mother came in and check on her. She said it seems like she's having fun because it sounds like her real first date and she can see Inami really loves Takanashi-san (still thinking that he is her).
Inami's mother said she should go back to sleep, and after she turned the light off for her, Inami is still doing the worrying!
Awwww~ @ Takanashi and Inami saying "Tomorrow is date (Ashita wa de-to da!)" while looking outside (even though they see the date as battle kind of thing).
lol~~ @ Takanashi after the ED... he might die tomorrow!
Next ep (final ep!)... they are still not giving up with getting Takanashi into girl's outfit?

I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
And I had the hope that this will be a Popura centered episode :'( - it turned too quickly to an Inami one, thankfully without cross-dressing again.
So the last episode will be a survival challenge date for Takanashi and Inami, I hope they will round up solidly.
oh my god, so much win... my head still spinning. Next episode is the last one ;_; and Maya appears! I'm hoping a second season... (and subs for this episode soon)
Cute episode, a little lacking in Yamada though...
Cannot wait for the final episode now, looks like plenty of stuff will be going wrong, but hopefully there'll be a happy ending for Inami! Satou x Yachiyo seems to have been put on the back burner - maybe that could possibly form the basis of a second season's plot?
And... can it be? Maya finally speaks?! (Though I can see that not being Maya - Takanashi's clothes ruined by Yamada = crossdressing again, this time with Poplar's preferred black wig and Maya's glasses?)
Nevertheless, this is all building up to a fine finale!
Yay we actually get a date in an anime again, even if it is one of those "oh yeah it wasn't really my idea" ones. I guess he will end up cross dressing after all... As far as Yachiyo i don't see that issue ever really being settled because it seems like a stagnant situation with nothing to progress it.
I love the show, but i am not sure they would be able to make a second season interesting. I would be willing to watch it regardless though.
Too bad she didn't get to see all of the Takanashi sisters, but at least she got a pedo-hug from a lawyer. Doesn't anyone else find that a little ironic? Ah well, at least we know minicon runs in his family, eh?

hmmm... Really surprised to see good reviews for this episode..honestly VERY surprised... I dropped my rating from a 7 to a 6 on this series.. I fell asleep watching the episode in the afternoon it was so boring
There wasnt anything even funny about this episode.. imo.. it was the same crap... inami getting close takanashi.. her punching his lights out... I dont know if thats supposed to be funny.. well its a joke that they have obviously worn out...
I am a little disappointed because everyweek I think this may pick up the pace... and its let me down again...I will watch the final episode but thats just because I hate starting something and not finishing it. Do I expect it to be some stellar barrel of laughs... No... But Ill keep my fingers crossed... I really dont understand why I was the only one so far to think this episode was horrible lol.. I must have ate something bad.
Ah it was funny takanashi has extra hands, and I saw that kick thing comming its good thing she wasn't aiming for anything. Poplar really is like a small version of Kaze, it was funny seeing them meet like that like a twilight ep. She was really bold with inami so she's alot more serious then she looks. This series should end with alittle more then just a date ep.
Lol, awesome episode is awesome. I really like how this series went. It started from just another random slice of life (I couldn't even have predicted TakanashixInami at the beginning; at most, I thought it would be a harlem), to a developing romantic comedy focused on TakanashixInami. I just wish Yamada had more screentime.
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.
Hard to believe that out of all the series I started watching this anime season, this is the one I am looking forward most to (Angel Beats and DRRR! fell off at the end imo). Still judging by the preview, it seems this date is gonna have alot of interference by the other workers, and a Maya closeup, odd. But honestly, I do want them to end up nicely, or at least not hating each other.

Actually, that's a totally valid opinion. Personally, I'll laugh at almost anything, but my standards have always been kinda wonky.

I predict next episode will be something like this based on the preview
Inami shows up on time, Satou shows up at work, Yamada wets his clothes, he is late and have nothing to wear, Inami is impatient and doubtful and leaves in grieve.
Ugh, tired of this one-sided adoration. He has no other feeling for Inami other than curing her. It's actually really irritating, and I'm scared to see what happens to her next week =\
LMFAO
This was the funniest part of the episode for me.
Overall, an ok episode. I'm still not finding any laughs when it comes to Inami's androphobia and I admit to being a little disappointed at the fact that last episode's preview showed more focus on Taneshima when it ended up being mostly about Inami again. Still, there were a few moments that were genuinely funny, such as Takanashi's Magic Hand hug xD Watching Inami and Takanashi freak out over planning the date was pretty cute, too.
Series had a good start but just became more and more boring throughout the episodes. Kinda looking forward for the grand final, just to see it finish.

so it wasnt just something I ate.. lol.. thought maybe I was low on calcium
No Satou and Yachiyo? I like them a lot more than Inami and Takanashi~
I'm not sure if I'd like to see another season of this, maybe if there's not so much Inami-stuff in it ;D
I'd like to see more about characters like Yamada (her past and so on).
