Kashiwa reminisces of her school days with Sato.  Sato and Kashiwa seem to be ok living together until they have a "slap -slap-kiss argument" that makes them decide to make love.

Sato in a hurry goes to the shops. During this time Misaki and her school counsellor (Kashiwa's husband) notices Sato.
Sato comes back to apartment greeted by an alluring Kashiwa naked on the bed and shows Kashiwa bondage gear, she decides to play but takes the role seriously as she talks about the guilt of being in a loveless marriage.  Sato pulls out a deck of playing cards to cheer her up and proposes to stay friends. Misaki and Kashiwa's husband bust into the room.

When Kaoru goes missing both Sato and Misaki go to the inner city to find him. We learn that Kaoru slept with a trans gender woman and eventually became a male escort.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a friend hands you a book they love, especially when that book is a manga. We Appreciate Manga captures that exact feeling, beginning each conversation with a personal recommendation before letting the discussion wander into deeper territory. Hosted by the team at We Appreciate Manga™, this series is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a thoughtful, sometimes rambling, chat between enthusiasts. You’ll hear them explore how specific stories resonate, why certain artistic choices matter, and the very real comfort these illustrated narratives can provide during difficult periods. It’s a celebration of the medium that goes beyond plot summaries to appreciate manga as a unique and powerful form of visual storytelling. Think of it as your audio companion to a vibrant, anime-adjacent book club where the panels come to life through conversation. New episodes of this podcast have been available since August 2022, offering a consistent space to connect with the art and heart of these stories.
