After both Keitaro and Naru fail their entrance exams for Tokyo U, they both become depressed and decide to take a vacation. Both individuals embark on their own vacation, but coincidentally they both pick the same vacation spot, Kyoto. And coincidentally they run into each other, but they both break their glasses and have no idea who each other is! Will their harmless tourist vacation turn into a romantic fiesta? Or will their Hinata buddies get their in time?

Keitaro and Naru both discover each others' identities after their glasses were repaired. But instead of huffing and yelling at each other (well, okay there was a little of that), they decide to keep touring together and just have a good time. But wait, who is this quirky little girl? Mutsumi? Hmm, it appears that Naru and Keitaro have another person to relate to because she has failed her exams three times in a row! And uh oh Naru, it looks like Keitaro and Mutsumi are getting along pretty well! Will Keitaro give up on Naru and instead go for Mutsumi? Or will he confess his love to Naru under a midnight sky?

Kaolla Su has created yet another one of her brilliant inventions. This one was made to read peoples' minds. And gee, what are the Hinata residents going to do with this? Well, see how Keitaro and Naru really feel for each other, of course! When Naru uses the machine, the Hinata girls see some mysterious man, which Naru later learns is one of her graduating classmates. Kintaro is his name, and gettin' girls is his game! He challanges Keitaro to a battle with the mind reader device of who can win Naru over first. Kintaro wins, but is that what will really happen? Or does the real Naru have different feelings?
After a little cleaning, an old-school video game system is found! Keitaro decides that it is time for a little break so he starts to play it. But sooner than later it seems that everyone is envolved in it. But yet, they are all sleeping! It seems that everyone in the Hinata is in this dream and they all have their parts. Each person is a character from the video game and all of them must stop the evil king from seducing Princess Naru! Will they be able to save the princess from the evil king?

After Keitaro and Naru embark on their journey to Kyoto, they accidentally bump into each other and break each others' glasses. Without having any clue as to who the person right next to them is, they both decide to journey together and see the tourist attractions. After more than several coincidental occurrences, such as sitting next to each other on the same bus, staying at the same hotel, etc, they decide to continue traveling together. That is, until they get their vision back! As soon as that happens they get into a fight, but make up a little bit and continue their sightseeing together.
After Keitaro and Naru meet Mutsumi, they find out that she lives way on the other side of Japan! Due to her excessive feinting and medical problems, Naru and Keitaro decide that it is best if they escort her back home. They take a cruise to get Mutsumi home, but Mutsumi decides that it is quicker to take a raft there. Well, then a typhoon hit and the trio soon finds themselves fighting to survive! Then, before they know what happened, they drift ashore to an island. Mutsumi feints, again, and as Naru goes to get some water, Mutsumi accidentally kisses Keitaro. Naru sees it, gets upset, but later Mutsumi apologizes and Naru forgives them both. Oh wait, they get a turtle too!
After the Hinata girls use the mind reading device on Naru, they discover that she has been having fantasies about a mysterious man! Everyone later discovers that that man is actually a wealthy classmate of hers named Kintaro! Kintaro is bright, wealthy, and charming, how could Keitaro possibly stand a chance against him? Well, Keitaro and Kinaro make a challange against each other with the mind reading devices to see who could win Naru over first. Kintaro wins, but the result is pointless. What actually happens is that Naru and Keitaro have tickets to the new amusement park so the whole Hinata group decides to go! Round one a stalemate, but who knows what the future may bring.
At the beginning of the episode, Motoko is informed by one of her Kendo buddies that she is becoming a weakling. Motoko, as concerned as can be, decides that the only way to get back to the woman she used to be is by getting rid of Keitaro from the Hinata Apartments so she may concentrate on her practices. Right before she does a flying death slash (or something of that nature) on Keitaro he falls asleep. And during one of Motoko's meditations it seems that she became a part of a single dream that inhabited all of the Hinata residents. Throughout the dream Motoko was able to understand a bit more about Keitaro and there was a little foreshadowing with Motoko and her older sister.

I like this episode, one of my personal favorites! I loved how Naru and Keitaro coincidentally ride on the same bus together, and coincidentally take the same trip to Kyoto, and coincidentally stay in the hotel together. It was like all those coincidences was just fate trying to bring them together, either that or they just found the same brochure, LoL. What I also liked about this episode was that it shows how Keitaro and Naru really should get along well, but due to many unfortunate circumstances (such as Keitaro being branded as a perverted moron :) ), it is just not the case. There are a few iffy parts, though, about this episode. Such as how I find it rather difficult to accept that neither Keitaro or Naru asked for each other's names. Or that they couldn't tell who each other were from their voices. Oh and I almost forgot, this is the first episode of Seta! One of my favorite characters! Overall, this is certainly an excellent episode, very enjoyable! 9.5/10
This is a pretty fun episode I must admit. At first Naru and Keitaro decide to escort Mutsumi home but then later become stranded on an island (which they later learn is actually Mutsumi's backyard :) ). This episode is actually quite hilarious, with all the Hinata residents trying to find Keitaro and Naru, and watching as the three ronins fight for their lives in a vicious typhoon... okay well it is much funnier than it sounds, k? Anywho, overall this is a very good episode. It is always interesting to meet a new face in a show, and Mutsumi is certainly an interesting one! That and the romance and comedy are quite enough to keep most anyone entertained. And it is especially worthwhile to watch to see Shinobu try and sell matches to raise enough money to get home... she's sooo cute!!! Quality episode! 8.5/10
The first time I watched this episode I thought it was rather funny, but not anything particularly great. When I watched it a few more times, same thing, except that it was kinda annoying too. Kintaro is a pretty funny character, but has a way of really getting on your nerves sometimes. I thought he was a rather creative character, though, because Kintaro is basically Keitaro only in reverse. Instead of being dumb, perverted, and rather poor, he is intelligent, charming, and incredibly wealthy. I think what this episode basically shows is that, with a little more confidence, Keitaro could have Naru in a second. This is because in her fantasies she falls for Kintaro, and in the 'challange' she falls for Kintaro as well, but in the end she doesn't end up being with him. Instead she tells Keitaro, "I thought you would know how I feel by now." That much was quite interesting in the episode, but the humor factor gets rather old quick and it is unlikely you will watch this episode all too much. Overall, good, but not up to Hinata house standards. 7.5/10
This episode is friggin' hilarious! For starters, this entire episode is a mock parody of an old-school RPG video game (such as the original final fantasies). Keitaro was the brave and noble knight (laugh), Shinobu was the nurse that heals all their boo boos (double laugh), and Motoko was stuck wearing a very revealing warrior costume (triple laugh). Then you even get graced with some Godzilla humor as the mini-twin Mutsumis sing a song to raise the 'legendary dragon (tamu)' to save the Princess Naru. A whoooole lot of laughs in this episode, as it was obviously intented to be lighthearted and funny. Although it doesn't move the plot very far, it wasn't all just goofball laughs and pointless weirdness. Motoko was told that she was getting weak, so she was going to get Keitaro out of the Hinata House for good. But during the dream it seems aparent that she understands a bit more about Keitaro and she decides not to torment or get him out of the apartments. There is also a bit of foreshadowing of a possible story between Motoko and her sister. Overall this episode is just too funny, but because the story doesn't move too much during this ep I have to take a little bit of points off. A near close to perfect episode! 9.5/10
