Episode Title:
But Not for Me.
Episode Description:
Sentarō explains that he was posing for a painting when Kaoru walked in on him. While purchasing a birthday present for Sentarō, Kaoru impulsively kisses Ritsuko, and she runs away crying. Kaoru sees Sentarō with his siblings shortly thereafter, and lashes out in jealously at what he perceives as a loving family. Sentarō explains that he is of mixed Japanese-American descent, and was shunned by his schoolmates and family as a child. At Christmas, Junichi, Kaoru, Sentarō, and Ritsuko's father Tsutomu play a "Blowin' the Blues Away" by Horace Silver at a local bar. After the performance, Junichi and Yurika shyly introduce themselves to each other.
