Episode 01
Can I Really Fall for You?
Toki Kanade is a troublemaking delinquent high schooler. After yet another fight with other delinquents, he's sternly reprimanded by the vice principal. Unexpectedly, gym teacher Kazuro Sahara intervenes. When Kanade asks why Sahara stood up for him, Sahara replies, “Fighting’s wrong, but it’s also wrong to scold someone without hearing them out.” Touched, Kanade decides to return to school regularly—just to see Sahara again. Thus begins a clumsy and heart-fluttering romantic comedy between a PE teacher and a delinquent student.
Episode 02
Borrowed Love at the Sports Festival
Thanks to Sahara’s influence, Kanade begins attending school and even makes some friends. But his grades are still poor—except in health and PE, which Sahara teaches. With the sports festival approaching, Kanade volunteers for the “borrowed item race” to get Sahara’s attention. But one of the prompts is “someone you like,” and participants must confess their feelings if they draw that slip…

Snow White’s Secret Kiss
It’s time for the school cultural festival, and Kanade’s class decides on an all-boys performance of Snow White. Much to his dismay, Kanade lands the lead role—complete with a kissing scene. When his scene partner falls ill right before the show, a surprising replacement steps in: Sahara-sensei.
Episode 04
Shadows of the Past
After the festival, Kanade finds a scrapbook about Sahara’s past as a national-level swimmer and Olympic hopeful. Curious, he asks Sahara about it, but Sahara suddenly grows cold.

Old Flames and New Feelings
