Usui's Rival? Shintani Hinata

Noticing that the club rooms are absolutely filthy and smelly, Misaki orders the sports clubs to clean up their club rooms. They initially refuse to do so, but eventually agree after Yukimura tells them that food will be served for them. With the Student Council responsible for the food, Misaki practises making rice balls but her attempts are a failure. When the Student council finally finishes making the rice balls, the famished sports clubs members immediately barge into the Home Economics room, discarding and unknowingly badmouthing Misaki's rice balls. Angered by this, Misaki proceeds to chase the sports clubs members out of the room. Usui later visits the resting Misaki, hugs her and praises her hard work. Through his conversations with both of them, Kanou wonders why both Misaki and Usui won’t admit their feelings for each other.
Meanwhile, a transfer student named Hinata Shintani arrives and has irked Misaki due to his childish behavior and his gluttony for food. On the other hand, the male students takes a liking to Hinata because of his amazing accuracy in smelling food and child-like innocence. Hinata reveals that he used to live here but moved to his grandfather’s home after his parents' death, but now has returned to find his first love, “Misa-chan”. Upon hearing this, Misaki realizes that Hinata is her chubby childhood friend “You-kun”. When Misaki blurts out Hinata’s nickname when he falls from a tree, Hinata maneuvers himself to safety and hugs Misaki, finally finding his first love, much to shock of everyone around them.
