Starry Sky

Yoh meets Tsukiko as a small child when he drops his telescope. In the present, he no longer is living in Japan. His father, an astronomer, is pitching a lecture series to an American college, and plans to travel there with his wife and son. Yoh asks if, before the lecture circuit is approved, if he can spend time back in Japan. His father realizes that this about the girl that Yoh had met long ago, and grants his approval and support to find his own "first evening star." Yoh goes to a school focusing on astronomy, where he quickly meets Tsukiko again, who is the only female student at the school

After a time skip of one month, Yoh is seen, having become friends (and rivals for Tsukiko's affections) with Kanata Nanami and Suzuya Tohzuki. He talks to his father on the phone, who tells him that the lecture circuit has been approved, and they will be going to America in a few weeks, where Yoh is expected to join them. Yoh is a little sad, but decides that his time in Japan has been well spent, kissing Tsukiko on the cheek, and playfully fighting with Kanata.

We are introduced to Tsubasa, the "Aquarius," who has a unique laugh that made him self-conscious when he was a boy. He was taken in by his grandpa when he was a child, but everyone around him always called him a nuisance, which left emotional scars. A skilled inventor, he has been making machines since a very young age. When he arrives at school, he meets up with his first friend and gets forcibly drafted onto the Student Body Council by the eccentric President Kazuka. (Tsukiko is secretary.), and pretty soon they become friends.

Tsubasa is banned from inventing in the student council room after one of his inventions explode. He is unhappy, and the tensions grow thicker when the other members of the student council decide to implement a surprise lab in the student council room.

This episode reflects on Kanata's past with Tsukiko & Suzuya. Kanata has always been friends with them since he was little. As he grows up with them he developed feelings for Tsukiko. He has always had a weak body and feels that he can not protect them. He continues to fight because it makes him feel alive and not weak. Tsukiko and Suzuya dislike when he over does his fighting habits, even though they are unsure of his reason.

Kanata reflects on Tsukiko and how she never lets anyone see her struggles. He and Suzuya vow to always be by her side and to protect her, because that's all they can do. It is revealed that Kanata's greatest wish is that others will see him as a "natural person."
