The AnimaTure

As the pre-episode starts we get to see Ibuki and Yoichi walking towards school and then they notice 3 girls.
2 of them are rooting one girl to go for it.

The screen zoomed in on the 3 girls and we see that the girl in the middle is holding an envelope sealed with a heart.

After the opening we get to know the girl who is called Hinagata. She is a first year and she gave Yoichi the envelope.
She then ran off and all the guys were hoping to have like Yoichi.

We know that Yoichi is quite old fashioned with both training, mind, body, skills and knowledge of the present world since he grew up in the mountains.

He thought the envelope was a challenge to a duel and Ibuki gave him the dictionary.

Once Yoichi  learned about what dating was he was wondering what to do, but he was making this groping movement with his hands and Ibuki hit him on the head.

She was walking in the school halls all pondering about his behavior and then decided to go on a date with Yoichi to teach him what dating is.

She proposed it as a practice date, but she is taking it quite seriously.
Ibuki is a bad liar as she stumbles down the stairs with a fake laughter of denial.

As the date starts and Ibuki wants to ask Yoichi  where he wants to go first she noticed Yoichi  not being by her side.
What he was doing?

He was loudly introducing himself to everyone and was openly challenging them all for a duel.
You could guess what Ibuki did. It could be a cause of a headache.

They went to the mall and this time we get to see Yoichi in modern clothing and he got flustered when Ibuki touched his back with her breasts.
Not that she did it on purpose, but because they are rather... yeah you know... large.

Ibuki showed a cute side of herself and Yoichi said so too and she is wondering if she was acting childish.

Ayame too is at that same mall and did not show herself to her sister or Yoichi.

Yoichi and Ibuki went bowling and she showed him what to do.
Yoichi decided to give it a try and he threw, yes he literally THREW the ball and made a hole in the wall.

Ibuki explained what he had to do and they both got flustered about getting too close and he dropped the ball on his feet.

He dropped to the ground and looked up with as result that he was looking under Ibuki's skirt which made him let out a surprising yell.

The owner of the place gave them an earful and i am surprised that he is not charging them for the hole in the wall.

I am more surprised that they keep the hole in the wall instead of making it disappear like in every other Anime.

Yoichi notices that he is being watched.

Not that they know that they are being stalked by all 3 sisters but Ayame leaves the scene quickly enough.

Suddenly a shadow with yellow eyes appears and not soon after he is talking to someone on the phone and we see some animal-like features despite him being all shadowed.
At the second scene however, you can see it is a mask that he is wearing.

The scene changed to Washizu (Wa-san) and they noticed Ayame on the streets and he started getting his strange daydream about Ibuki being his lover and that Ayame is going to be his future sister-in-law.

Back to Ibuki and Yoichi who are enjoying desserts, food and more food.
After that they are walking in the park and Ibuki noticed all these couples and wanted to hold his hand while walking.

At that moment Yoichi turned to ask something and she got flustered and stepped back and she started to fall down.

Yoichi tried to catch her but fell in the pond too and he was apologizing for not being able to save her and was expecting punishment.

Yoichi gave Ibuki a present that she was acting all cute for before and she acted cute again!

Yoichi thanks Ibuki for the practice date and somehow we know something snapped inside Ibuki's head.

She went to get some drinks real quick and suddenly Hinagata appears.

Yoichi gave a reply for the letter he got from her and declined it because he is not familiar with her.
However this time it seems that Hinagata is a martial artist and was out to get Yoichi and is using her girly charms to trap Yoichi.

While Yoichi is fighting we get to see Ibuki being pestered by two guys and which kind we all hate, playboys that try to get her to go with them since they called Yoichi a boring guy.

One of the guys slapped the present from Yoichi out of her bag calling it childish and Ibuki grabbed him by the arm.

The scene goes back to Yoichi and he took the weapon from the girl and broke it and used part of it as a sword and used his wind style, ripping the clothes of Hinagata.

After Hinagata ran off and Yoichi called Chihaya and Kagome after he noticed them, they heard Ibuki scream and ran towards her.

Upon arriving they saw Ibuki and... the two playboys beaten up.

We get to see the shadow with yellow eyes again and learn that Hinagata was send by him. Not soon after we see the sister of the shady man with yellow eyes and guess what? She also is shadowed with yellow eyes.

Yoichi talked about the date request that he declined it.
He was also acting melodramatic about how there could be no person to love him because the warrior he is.

Ibuki got mad and did say there was somebody that loved him and walked away.

She gave herself away by saying this, but i doubt Yoichi would get it.
