Kimi ni Todoke 06: Threesome Once More

After some drama in the bathroom, Sadako is back in the popularity polls. Sort of.
EPISODE 06: Friends
More Screencaps from Kimi ni Todoke 06

Kazehaya comes to school only to find a crowd of students gathered outside the girls' bathroom. Apparently, someone got wind of the fight inside between Sadako and a group of students led by Yuuka and the rumor is that it was Sadako who started it.

At that moment, Yano and Yoshida also arrive and hears about the situation. Realizing that the fight is centered around the rumors about them as well, they decide to take care of things. Ryuu, who also joins the crowd, notices that Kazehaya looks as if he wants to do something. Kazehaya, however, contains himself, deciding that the girls should handle this themselves.

Meanwhile, Sadako really gets it from Yuuka's group despite her efforts are trying to make them understand. Yuuka insists that it was Sadako who started the rumors, which Sadako hotly denies. She says that she would never do that to Yano and Yoshida as they were the first people who were kind to her. She adds that rather than like the two girls, she loves them. Yano and Yoshida arrive inside the bathroom in time to hear all this.

Before Sadako realizes it, someone pushes off Yuuka and another is helping her stand up. To her surprise, they are Yano and Yoshida. Yoshida puts her yanki reputation to scare Yuuka and co. off. Kazehaya and Ryuu see them step out of the bathroom. Unable to contain himself, Kazehaya lets out that he hates rumors, to the girls' utter mollification.

At that moment, Pin arrives, apparently having only heard about the fight. But he is disappointed to find that the three girls have made up. Ryuu comments that he doesn't need to comfort her anymore, referring to Yoshida, while Kazehaya smiles. Sadako, Yoshida and Yano soon walk out of the bathroom together, their friendship firmly established.

The next day, the midterm exam results are posted. Sadako is at no. 30, a far-cry from her previous spot, but she is happy nonetheless as the class' average has improved, thanks to her notes. Classmates now take to calling her Sadako Warashi from "Zashiki Warashi" (a spirit that brings great fortune). To celebrate, Sadako, Yano and Yoshida decide to go out for ramen. Kazehaya watches them, realizing with some dismay that he has little chance of being alone with Sadako anymore.

Meanwhile, Yuuka's friends are huddled together, talking about how Yuuka has a long-time crush on Kazehaya and that their recent shenanigans has cost them minus points. Yuuka overhears them and runs off crying. While they go after Yuuka to comfort her, the pretty girl from Episode 3 watches clandestinely.
COMMENTS:

And the series redeems itself. Although the drama was needlessly prolonged, I thought it was worth it. I do so want Yano and Yoshida to be Sadako's friends. Still, I cringed at Sadako's long-winded speech in the bathroom.

It looks like it's the pretty girl who started all the rumors. I wonder who she is in Kazehaya's life. I hope she's a really evil girl, but considering how this is shoujo, she might be evil at first but Sadako's unparalleled power of cluelessness might just charm her into turning for the better. Oh, well.

Right now, all I'm really interested is how long it would take for Kazehaya to realize his real feelings for Sadako. It's a crush, definitely, but it's mutual so there's a great possibility it could turn into something more. Also, Ryuu x Yoshida ~ ♥
