"Hachioji-senpai Taught Me a Lot." (八王子先輩には大変お世話になりました) is the tenth episode of the second season of the Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san anime series and the twenty-second episode overall.

Plot
The new school year began and having taken over the art club, Senpai exhibited a poster to recruit new members. Then he started making a painting in order to calm down since he was still thinking about what Nagatoro told him about wanting to have a kiss from him. As the boy was trying to downplay it as a mere joke, the girl stormed into the room complimenting him for being a third year and asking him if he still wanted her to be his model. The boy quickly accepted and thus Nagatoro changed into her swimsuit explaining that she hid it in the prep room in order to be always ready for a sketch. Senpai started to draw Nagatoro despite the latter teasing him on how red he was and gawking at her. During their first ten minutes pause from the drawing, Nagatoro asked Senpai to give her a massage, pretending her muscles to be hurt due to standing still for so long in order to convince him in doing it despite his shyness about touching a girl's body while wearing nothing but a swimsuit. After he began massaging her, Nagatoro start moaning and dwindling her hips, which gave the boy even more embarrassed, however, after a little while he noticed how stiff Nagatoro's muscles are, thus he complimented her for her hard work, prompting the latter to blush and reply she would not do "lewd stuff" with him only because he complimented her. Later on, before restarting the painting session, the girl sweetly revealed to Senpai that she finally joined the judo club, since she really wanted to receive a kiss from him. Seeing the boy's embarrassed reaction, she gets frustrated and eventually asked him directly if he wanted to kiss her or not. Before Senpai can answer the question however, a new girl very similar to the former President entered the room, acting as if she knew the boy, calling him "Hachiouji-senpai" and saying she wanted to join the art club.

Senpai quickly explained to an extremely jealous and angered Nagatoro that the kōhai, who introduced herself as Sunomiya, was in his same art club back in middle school when she was just a beginner in drawing. The young girl explained she has great respect for "Hachiouji-senpai" since he taught her every little detail of what she now knew. Hearing this, Nagatoro got nervous and accused Senpai of "squirming", then, after Sunomiya asked the boy who Nagatoro was, the latter was quite unnerved to be introduced only by her surname, grade and sometimes harsh manners. Having heard the word "kiss" while in the hallway and seeing how they interacted with one another, Sunomiya asked if they were dating, which Senpai quickly denied much to Nagatoro's chagrin; then the boy explained to Sunomiya that sometimes Nagatoro modeled for him the previous year, but now she won't have that much time as she has club activity. Hearing this, Sunomiya realized that the club doesn't have any other member and thus she and Senpai would have been alone into the club room; despite Nagatoro tried to have the girl change her mind from joining the club telling her she would have caught Senpai's wriggly motions, Sunomiya stated to be able to find beauty into all eccentric things. Right at that moment Gamo-chan - who has also joined the judo club - came in to go practice with Nagatoro and, seeing her friend saddened, teased her asking Senpai if he was "switching girl"; embarrassed the boy explained her that he and Nagatoro were simply trying their best separately. Then Sunomiya reassured Nagatoro to leave Senpai in her care and stripped down saying she was ready to pose for him in the nude rather than a simple swimsuit. Outraged, Nagatoro told Sunomiya to put her clothes on again commenting that she's just like the former President, to which Senpai pointed out that she's actually her cousin.

After going at the judo club and having practice, Nagatoro and Gamo-chan have a break and chatted about how rusty they are due to not practicing it properly for years; the girls are soon joined by Orihara who told Gamo-chan not to worry that much as she need time being still a white belt, however pointed out that Nagatoro seemed distracted and asked her if something was wrong, leading Gamo-chan to tell Orihara that Nagatoro was "worried her boyfriend would be stolen by a rival" now that she was busy with club practice and can't hang out in his club room as much as before. Nagatoro was visibly embarrassed by the chat between her best friend and her rival; however, despite firmly denying the boy in question being her boyfriend, when Orihara suggested her to choose between love and judo, she indirectly states she would have both.

Meanwhile, Senpai showed his recent paintings to Sunomiya, and she told him they seemed more colorful than the ones he did in middle school, guessing it was because of his new model, which she described as a goddess. The boy denied it stating Nagatoro was more like a demon, to which Sunomiya asked why he did so many paintings to her, leading the boy to admit he enjoyed painting Nagatoro. Understanding the situation, Sunomiya quoted her cousin, saying that "Love is something one must seek out and take", and told Senpai he must ask out Nagatoro on a date.

Trivia

 * This episode is the adaptation of Chapter 82, 83 and 84 as well as Bonus 19, however there are a few differences:
 * In the manga Nagatoro asked Senpai for a massage an evening after training at the judo club, pretending her back to be hurt due to the training, while in the anime the girl asked it in the morning of the new school year and while taking a break from the painting he was making of her.
 * Also, due to Chapter 82 and Bonus 19 being merged, Nagatoro already wore her swimsuit when asking Senpai for a massage, while in the manga she put it on after convincing the boy to let her pick an outfit for the painting.
 * In the manga, Gamo-chan and Yoshi walk in and are shocked as they see Senpai giving a massage to Nagatoro, while the anime omitted it.
 * Nagatoro's school swimsuit has a hole in the back that leaves it completely bare in the manga. In the anime the swimsuit covers her entire back.
 * After Nagatoro tells Senpai that there has been plenty of lewd art throughout history, in the manga it shows three partially obscured nude women with a realistic look and some markings to indicate their nipples on their breasts. In the anime, it shows several nude women drawn in an anime style with more detail but with their nipples completely removed.
 * When Sunomiya interrupts Nagatoro punching Senpai in regard to a "kiss", in the manga, Senpai is holding both of Nagatoro's fists, while in the anime, he is only holding one of her fists as the other one already hit Senpai's face.
 * When Senpai shows Sunomiya three busts that she can use for a life drawing, in the manga, the busts appear to be all men and in different heights while in the anime, two are female and one is of a much older man with a beard with all three being about the same height.
 * As Senpai explains to Sunomiya that Nagatoro made him draw her at first, in the manga, it shows a close up of two sketches and a painting of her, followed by a flashback to him trying to draw her before showing him looking at the recent painting of Nagatoro in a swimsuit. In the anime, it only shows a close up of Senpai's face as he talks before showing him looking at the recent painting.
 * After Gamo-chan and Orihara laugh at Nagatoro's answer about focusing hard on both Judo and toying with Senpai, in the manga, it continues on with Nagatoro back in training and landing a successful throw on the Judo Club head, who then compliments her. In the anime, it jumps to Sunomiya calling the art room a "nest of love" for Senpai and Nagatoro.
 * The episode does not open with a teaser scene and instead begins with the opening credits.
