What's interesting is due to the month long hiatus we get the same animation director for two episodes in a row as Masaaki Kannan did this one too. They would also become a regular AD on Maison Ikkoku.

So folks two things:
1. The basis for this episode is from the early manga chapters. Like around Volume 5.

2. After this episode UY went on a month long hiatus in Japan!
