Yuuto’s pathetic self can’t get any worse when he actually believe the words Yayoi and Nozomi said and let them get away with their shenanigans with Haruka… They are trying to take Haruka away from you… are you possibly going to let them get away with it. The first half had him moping around… hopeless with depression. Mika and Shiina tries to help you and you push them away? There might be something wrong .
Remember this quote… it’s very important.
You’re just going to back off because Yayoi said so!? Doesn’t that girl mean more than that to you?…
I thought you had some guts in you, but I guess I was wrong

Yuuto’s niceness is his flaw… It wouldn’t be nice to go against what he said. This is perhaps is major flaw since he can’t stand up against people when they are wrong. I would say like in the previous episode that he have to defend your girl before someone go take her away. The only problem is that Haruka is not his official girlfriend yet… Tough situation but… everything changes at Milian’s concert. He receives tickets to her concert on the day of Haruka’s audition and he invited some of his classmates and of course Asakura because Milian is going to sing the opening theme of Nocturne Girl Lacrosse Club. After she sung the first song at the concert, she sings another special song, which makes Yuuto wake up and he runs out to the place where the audition is held. Meanwhile, Nanami, Mika, Hazuki and Alice-chan goes find disturbing information about the production company in a control center under the house basement. Gentou and Akiho comes out of nowhere and finds out what they were doing.
Yuuto barges in to the audition hall and saying he can’t follow Yayoi’s cruel request and saying it’s Haruka’s decision and he needed to tell something to her. He starts to run towards Haruka and Yayoi knowing her shenanigans is going to be ruined, Yayoi ordered guards to stop him and they did… but Yuuto broke through those weak guards…
Yuuto finally grew some balls for once… and actually said he doesn’t want Haruka to become a idol and wanted Haruka to stay close and she does… but Haruka didn’t know it about the idol part when he mentions it.
Yayoi and Nozomi knowing their shenanigans is blown, Nozomi takes the microphone, trying to proclaim Haruka as the winner with Yoyoi blocking Yuuto when a mysterious bomb is thrown towards Nozomi, which interrupts Nozomi… The Crowning Moment of Awesomeness is here…
The whole Nogizaka Maid Team is there and with Gentou’s big announcement (with Ode to Joy playing in the background… Somewhat uncanny because Kampfer used this song in Episode 11… What a coincidence…)of his family buying Yayoi and Nozomi company and almost gone berserk for them exploiting his daughter Haruka… when Mika and Akiho stops him. At home, Haruka gives Yuuto chocolate and a CD of her piano recordings and Yuuto hugs her when he notices someone is spying on them and opens the door… It’s the usual suspects.
The confession is pretty much what it is… Almost, but not quite… I still want a real one and actually for them to kiss on the lips for once. However, Yuuto finally barges in like a man and stop Yayoi’s selfish shenanigans… this proves that he is not entirely pathetic as we throughout… but he has a long way to go… The resolution of this arc is pretty satisfying and I think the finale will end on a good note… the question is, how much longer until they will actually confess? Who knows…
Verdict
8.4/10
