Plot
Nagatoro trained in shadow boxing into the art club room, due to becoming obsessed with it after Senpai shown her an episode of Hajime no Ippo, then she asked him to be her sparring partner but the boy ends up stumbling, resulting in an embarrassing hug that the girl dismissed as an irregular clinch. Nevertheless she immediately ran to brag to her friends about what had happened, causing Yoshi to reply that she wanted to try clinching too, while Sakura stated she would love to try grappling instead, thus Gamo-chan told them they could all spar with Senpai. Jealous, Nagatoro said that they shouldn't punch someone outside the ring and, when her friend/rival make her notice that was exactly what she has done, she replied that she knew how to hold back, causing the other to answer that she knew it too. As the four girls all stormed into the art club room, Nagatoro told Senpai to leave and she challenged Gamo-chan in a boxing match.

The following day, walking into the art club room, Senpai is surprised to find Nagatoro, Yoshi and Gamo-chan hanging out there. They all thanked him for letting them stay in the club room, explain that the school cafeteria where they usually chat has been invaded by a group of boys they deemed as "loud and annoying", prompting them to decide to hang out in his club room instead, while Sakura is working on seducing them one by one in order to sew seeds of jealousy in the group and making it collapse as they all began to compete for her attention. The girls started to complain on how all men are driven primarily by their sexual desires, to which Gamo-chan decided to tease Nagatoro stating that Senpai instead doesn't have any libido, Nagatoro teases Senpai into giving him a kiss to make him blush and prove the contrary yet Gamo-chan continued to tease her friend/rival by saying that was a natural reaction for a virgin. Insisting Senpai was actually a quiet pervert, Nagatoro made a bet with Gamo-chan that if she find a lewd book hidden in the room by him she would have proved he actually has libido. While Nagatoro turned the room upside down, Senpai yelled he's not hiding anything, to which both Yoshi and Gamo-chan agreed despite Nagatoro stating that he was losing his cool since she was about to find his porn. Actually, Senpai has hidden in the prep room Yagami Rintarou's "Paradise Harem", a manga with strong erotic contents, which he claimed to read just because of the art and story. After a while he began to feel bad about Nagatoro losing the bet since she was, in a certain way, doing it for him. Taking advantage of a moment od distraction from the girls, Senpai sneaked inside the prep room, took the manga and allow Nagatoro to find it. The girl was overjoyed and started to playfully tease him, while her friends watched the scene perplexed.

The day after that, when Nagatoro enter in the art club room, Senpai noticed that she has a new earring and complimented it, happy for being praised Nagatoro explained that she actually had a hole in her right lobe even before, however as she rarely put earrings on it completely healed up, prompting her to made a new one. Senpai commented on how painful it sounded to which Nagatoro replied is merely a poke and suggested him to try, offering to pierce his lobe. Scared, Senpai told her that he would have looked weird with an earring, to which she said that if she was too embarrassed he could always wore it only in the art club room, even suggesting they could have a matching pair. Intrigued but at the same time scared, Senpai tried to told her off, however after the girl asked him if he was afraid he refused to admit it, thus allowing Nagatoro to proceed. Expecting the worse, Senpai was surprised for barely feeling anything and, checking his ears find no hole at all. Nagatoro started to laugh, admitting that she barely poked his ear, then she asked if he was disappointed that she didn't "made a hole in his body", which he told he was not.

Right at that moment, Stakura stormed in visibly terrified and reduced in tears, hugging senpai in order to ask for help. Later, at a cafe she explained to Gamo-chan, Yoshi, Nagatoro and the boy to having been stalked for days by one of the boys from the cafeteria, so she asked Senpai to pretend to be her boyfriend as she was convinced that if her stalker saw her being lovey-dovey, he would be discouraged to continue. Despite everyone seemingly believe it was a very good idea Nagatoro, jealous, tried to convince her friend to change her mind, even going as far as to calling Senpai "dangerous as a vermin", but she was ignored and caused the opposite effect, convincing Senpai to play along with the gal's plan. The following day, Senpai and Sakura went on their fake date while Nagatoro, Gamo-chan and Yoshi followed them recording everything with their smartphones. Gamo-chan teased Nagatoro saying it was like an anime plot when "two people went on a fake date but real feeling start to blossom" thus getting her friend frustrated despite firmly refusing to admit it. Before Senpai and Sakura could get too close, Nagatoro went into action by capturing the stalker and forcing him to promise that he would never do it again. Having put an end to the charade, the girl began to mock Senpai for ruining "his first date" by telling him that it was probably too soon for him to do such things, however he smiled and agreed.

Trivia

 * This is the adaptation of Chapter 32, Chapter 13 and 34, as well as Side Story 4, however there are a few differences:
 * In Chapter 32, Gamo-chan mentioned they tried asking the teachers for help in solving the "loud boys" problem before letting Sakura deal with them, stating they ultimately decided to do it only because the teachers ignored their request and instead told 'em to solve it on their own.
 * In the episode, Nagatoro and Gamo-chan agreed the loser of their bet would have offered pancakes to the winner as a prize, in the manga it was marlowe pudding.
 * In the manga, feeling bad for Gamo-chan bickering with Nagatoro, Yoshi tried to act as a peacemaker and took a bare-breasted female bust asking if it counted as lewd, thus causing the distraction that allowed Senpai to sneak in the room and take the erotic manga; while in the anime the girls simply got distracted while trying to convince Nagatoro to surrender.
 * In Chapter 34 Sakura entered the art club room asking Senpai for help while her friends were all there; in the anime it was just Nagatoro. Also, she explained her problem with the stalker at a cafe with the others, while in the manga she did it in the club room.
 * In the episode Nagatoro caught the stalker in the middle of a park; in the manga they were on a street.
 * In the episode, the stalker wore a navy blue dress shirt with a red necktie and green pants when Nagatoro captured him; in the manga, he wore his school uniform.
