Cliffhanger!

Shinobu was definitely waiting there to stalk him. That's just her style. They seem to be floating the idea that Shinobu likes Arata, but she may just be begging to play a friendly match against him.

I was a little disappointed that Kana didn't offer to fix their hakama personally, instead merely opting to write instructions on the whiteboard.

I'm not sure what Deskmoto really expects to get out of it from his notes. That team has 50 players on their team, if enough of them are good, they don't even have to field the best people until later. They can keep the majority of their strong members well rested, while everyone else has to play a dozen matches in order to win. It seems a bit cheap, it's no wonder they've won 13 times, they have a overwhelming advantage in numbers.

What made me laugh this episode was Sumire. She came all prepared, with her little notebook...but she actually started taking detailed notes about the girl's personality, not her playstyle. I hope she actually does her job too...but I'm not counting on it.
