The girls and Souta are heading to class, wondering about what they're going to do for Christmas. When they enter the class however, there's a huge announcement written on the blackboard that says that Christmas will be cancelled. Immediately afterwards it cuts to Souta and the girls (including Miyuki-sensei and Serican) celebrating Souta somehow saving Christmas. They have another toast, and Rin gains another Yandere flag when she hears that Okiku already cut the cake. Souta is able to cut down the flag by cutting the cake with Rin. Everybody then draws straws to see who is the "King". The "King" gives commands to everyone else, which must be followed in the spirit of Christmas. Once the games are over, they spend an overly long time exchanging presents (due to the girls feeling bad for everyone else who didn't get Souta's present), before Souta reveals he bought presents for everyone. Souta then spends time with each of the girls (Akane acts as a lap pillow, Megumu gets Souta to put blankets on him, Miyuki-sensei gets a massage). During Serica's turn, she brings Nanami along and unintentionally discovers Souta is her mysterious savior, the Purple-Flagman. This causes her to break down, until Nanami drags Souta out of the room, after which she calms down and develops feelings for Souta. Nanami and Souta go outside, and upon seeing the snow fall, remark that it is really a Christmas miracle that brought them together. Just before they kiss, the front doors open and everyone else tumbles out. Souta wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, and they all go back inside. | |||
Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network wrote that the anime was a "fairly classic harem show," but that each episode throws something unexpected at the viewers to keep their attention. She criticized the overuse of pastel coloring, the female characters having either generic designs or annoying personality traits and felt the ending was rushed.[1]
