This was an absorbing episode. Every scene was thrilling and hilarious, and the pace was just right. At first, I thought that the pacing was slow, with the addition of a new set of characters and a whole new arc to start with. But as the plot thickens, the pacing gradually gets nice with how the story goes on. The twist and turns between Kotoko and Naoki were exciting to watch, and that cliffhanger was rather compelling.
