Instead of having Rin like the first 6 eps, this time we get Asa-chan’s point of view. We start of with Asa-chan waking up and helping her mother, Ama-san coook. From the way it looks, their relationship seem to be similar to that of Asami and Sayoko from Mahoraba(with the daughter acting more like the mother and vice-versa). Anyway Ama praises Asa’s good cooking and comments that she makes a good wife. Asa blushes and says that she han’t even got a boyfriend yet. But Ama counters and asks Asa abt the present on her table. Asa is trying to find an excuse and Ama comes to a conclusion that it is Rin. Asa blushes and says that he will never buy her anything but Ama seems to disagree.

Then it is time for school and Asa walks to school with Kareha. Upon reaching school Asa bumps into a guy. This guy appears to be the one that does the kokuhaku and gave her the present. In class many other girls are jealous of Asa(except they don’t follow what SSS,KKK and RRR do to Rin).

Then it is lunch time. Kareha asks Asa what are her plans. Asa says she doesn’t know what to do. Kareha then says falling in love only has 2 feelings(liking the person or hating the person). Asa says she feels nothing for the guy. As they start yo eat, the guy comes over and tell Asa that their classes are having PE lesson together and that he will score goals for Asa chan(he is the captain of the soccer club).

Afterwards, Asa and Kareha bump into Rin and company. Seems like the whole school already knows what happens. Rin comments that Asa is also very popular with the guys. She blushes but before she can say anything else, the bell rings and Asa drags Kareha who has been stared(from now on when Kareha goes ma ma ma i will say she is stared).

Scene shift to the girls changing room. The 2 girls talk and Kareha ends up starring again….

During PE, Asa tries to imitate Suzuka and ends up spraiing her ankle Asa is doing high jump and when she thinks of Rin halfway through her jump, she falls and sprains her ankle. She forces Rin to carry her home and he does it obediently. Upon reaching Asa’s house, the duo discover that Ama is not at home. Asa then teases Rin who somehow manages to stay cool. She goes to change her clothes. After waiting for sometime, Rin decides to go wee wee. He opens the toilet door and sees Asa just about to do pee herself. (and like what Omni said the expression on Rin’s face was priceless). They exchange words abit and after Rin closes the door, Asa screams.

Back at her room Asa asks Rin to forget what happened and then they talk somemore. Asa tells Rin that she is not ready for love yet as she wants to enjoy her life as a high-school student. However, she wouldn’t mind if her other half was Rin. As it turns out Asa was just joking(or was she?). Then as Asa stands, her ankle hurts and she falls on Rin. The two are about to kiss when Ama comes home.

The next day, Kareha goes to the roof to find Asa and sees the guy on the way there. He has a shocked face and he is holding the present he gave Asa. Asa has rejeted him. Kareha asks why. Asa says the same thing she said to Rin and admits that she only doesn’t mind if her guy was…. and she looks at Rin who is being chased by SSS,RRR and KKK.

Although this episode main focus was Asa, Kareha totally stole the show. Pity she isn’t one of the girls that are liking Rin. Right now I am liking all the characters in SHUFFLE! which is something very rare.(i usually like one per series) However, my support still goes to Shia and I hope she gets her man. Speaking of Shia, next episode is gonna be focusing on her. So you guys can expect alot more screencaps for it
