Sabrina Fair

The next day, Matsumaru learns at work that his marketing concept "Nekoki" (a cat-tree) has been approved as the mascot of a snack product called "Ha". Furthermore, Aka is chosen to voice nekoki. They decide to keep their live-in relationship a secret from their employers due to Aka's worries about an appearance of impropriety. She also insists they are not a couple just from having slept together once in a moment of weakness, and that she will merely be lodging with him. The series is heavily concerned with the developing dynamic of their relationship.

Wait Until Dark

The episode deals with Matsumaru realizing that he has let a total stranger into his house. It also has two flashbacks to when Aka and Matsumaru were at high school. Aka's flashback has her friend commenting on how great it would be to hear Aka's voice on TV. Matsumaru's flashback has his friend tell him that Tokyo girls are easy, a comment that Matsumaru refutes after he is once again struck by Aka for trying to kiss her.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

After a shaky start when Matsumaru walks in on Aka on the toilet the two of them go and launch their advertising campaign. It starts badly but, after a little girl recognizes the voice and the character their spirits are lifted. Afterwards, Aka cries with happiness at her voice being recognized.

Love in the Afternoon

Aka is having trouble with her current job because she is voice acting in an H-game. She struggles with the words and eventually asks Matsumaru. He initially misunderstands her intentions but realizes before he does anything stupid. After successfully completing her job, Matsumaru buys the game but it is confiscated by Aka and he is banned from playing it.

The Children's Hour

After an incident involving underwear on live television, both Aka's and Matsumaru's careers take a boost. This causes friction, culminating in Aka saying once she earns enough money she will leave causing both of them to get depressed. Aka's depression affects her performance on one of her jobs, but she manages to get the lines right after remembering her feelings whenever Matsumaru came home. The episode ends with Aka crying alone and wondering if she can return to Matsumaru.
