Plot
After Senpai shown his painting of Nagatoro's slice-of-life to Yoshi, Sakura and Gamo-chan, they were all impressed by them and the latter told him is like he looked at her as a lover, embarrassing both Nagatoro and Senpai. Then, Gamo-chan suggested to sneak a peek at the President's work, convincing all the gang to do it except for Senpai; however after seeing it the girls came back shocked and Nagatoro fainted. Thus, Gamo-chan and Sakura planned to be "cunning" as the President and began to make a plan to fight back against her new work and, although Senpai claimed they didn't needed to do anything weird as it was a problem between Nagatoro and him, the girls thrown him out of the room telling they would do their best to ready her up.

Later, after decorating the panels for the entrance of the Cultural Festival together with the President, they talked about how their respective submission was coming along and the President said she won't hold back. Then Senpai noticed a strap on the President's bag and asked her about it, prompting the latter to tell him it was very popular in her class in that period, prior to showing him it was actually a caricature of Nagatoro in her cat costume, utterly puzzling the boy.

The day the Cultural Festival began, while the President has no problem in talking smoothly in front of the cameras when the school journal interview her, Senpai on the other hand felt uneasy and stammered, however right before the troupe finished their service, Gamo-chan entered presenting them "Toro-Cat" (Nagatoro in a cat costume) which has became the talk of the school after they choreographed a dance featuring her together with Yoshi and Sakura wearing mascot costumes, the "I'll Bully You Dance" and uploaded it on YouTube. People who have seen the video began gathering all around the display to be willingly bullied by Toro-Cat. A boy complimented the paintings and asked her out, making Senpai jealous, then, although she seemed not interest as always, under her friends pressures she started to act with the boy like she always do with Senpai, causing more and more people to came in order to be treated in the same way. As the hours passed lots of people also went to see the President's new nude self-portrait, however Senpai's exhibition seemed to gathered more interest. Despite feeling thankful for the help he received from the girls, Senpai was visibly jealous at all the attention Nagatoro received, just like it was Nagatoro after a pair of girls went to compliment Senpai for what an exceptional artist he was.

Then, Gamo-chan, told Nagatoro and Senpai to go get some food so that they can spent some time together. When Nagatoro tried to make an excuse saying she couldn't just leave the exhibition as she was sulking at Senpai, Gamo-chan replied that Yoshi and Sakura could work harder to fill the void in order to let her have some rest, even if it was revealed that actually Sakura had sneaked to take some ice cream leaving her former stalker as a substitute in her mascot costume. While going to get food with Senpai, Nagatoro tried to act cool and asked him if he wasn't happy for having girls fawning over him, however she ultimately couldn't continue the charade showing how mad she really was for it. To cheer her up, Senpai told her that all the compliments he received were thanks to her for being his model, making her blush, smile again and sweeten up despite all her attempt to stay mad at him. Then the two shared a meal cheerfully and then returned to the exhibition, discovering that the President's display had been shut down by the Public Morals Committee Chief as the student council has given her permission only depending on what they would have seen on the actual day.

The President was then escorted into the disciplinary room due to her painting being deemed as "too immoral for a school" by the student council; Senpai, Nagatoro and even Yoshi tried to defend the girl's work with the Public Morals Committee Chief, eventually convincing her to let the Prsident continue her display. Thankful the latter tore the disbandment form into pieces admitting her defeat to the girls, however, in order to further humiliate her they forced the President to wear a skimpy bunny suit and sell their straps all over the school. After getting a sold out the girls allowed her to go and Nagatoro told her friends she would have taken a little walk around too, although they all cheerfully realized she was actually planning to go to Senpai. Later, as the Cultural Festival was coming to an end, the President approached Senpai at his exhibition and, seeing her dressed like that, he told her is better to change in order to avoid other problem with the student council; Nagatoro entered right as the shameless girl was about to strip in front of Senpai and prevent her from doing it, prompting her to lie saying she was just joking despite Nagatoro didn't believed her at all. Then looking at Senpai's paintings of Nagatoro, the President told him she could feel the passion he put in them and, especially that there was "love" in it, thus making both Nagatoro and Senpai blush. In that moment the speaker announced that the live concert would have been started at 4pm and Senpai asked Nagatoro if she wanted to go with him, the girl accepted right as Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura stormed in the room as well; then they all went to the school's auditorium, with Nagatro dragging Senpai from his arm.

In a post credit scene, Senpai drew a painting of an half asleep Nagatoro, who smiled at him heartly; then, after seeing it, she asked him to close his eyes and get ready for his reward. Senpai did as commanded fearing the worse, but instead she looked at him tenderly and gave him a kiss on the cheek; then she cheerfully left the room and a speechless Senpai.

Trivia

 * This episode is the adaptation of Chapter 43, 44, 45, 46 and the epilogue of Chapter 8, however there are a few differences:
 * In Chapter 43, the situation happens through a flashback after Senpai and the President decorated the panels for the entrance of the Cultural Festival together, while in the episode it all happens chronologically.
 * When Sakura explained her belief that "lewdness for lewdness will only bring sadness", in the manga is a simple quote, while in the anime she was briefly shown dressed as a monk, emitting holy light.
 * In the manga Senpai has a flashback due to eavesdropping on the girls while walking in the corridor with the President and then saw a group of girl recognizing "Toro-Cat", thus getting perplessed. In the anime neither of this happen.
 * The girls who complimented Senpai's work has completely different hairstyles compared to their manga counterparts.
 * Gamo-chan and Yoshi's positions when they beat up the stalker are inverted respect to the manga's, as well as Nagatoro position when she gives a pat on Senpai's shoulder after he thank her.
 * Nagatoro and Senpai's speaches when they have lunch together were removed as the scene was completely mute in the anime.
 * In the anime the Public Morals Committee Chief's eyes were not shown, while in the manga she's the first character outside the main and supporting characters whose face was fully drawn.
 * In Chapter 46 the scene with the Public Morals Committee Chief was significantly shorter and didn't happened in the disciplinary room but in the corridor, also Senpai and the girls did not tried to defend the President's work.
 * In the anime Yoshi did an extremely articulate speech to defend the President's painting, something that doesn't happen in the manga as the scene was non-existent.
 * In the manga, Nagatoro already knew about the live concert and planned to ask Senpai to go with her, while in the anime she was surprised at the announcement. Also, in the manga they went to the concert alone instead than along with the rest of the girls.
 * The post-credit scene was actually the epilogue of Chapter 8.
