Trivia

 * The episode title is taken from one of Arisa Uotani's lines.
 * Kureno Sohma makes his debut in this episode.
 * The events of both chapters are combined together for this episode and have some scene details changed to maintain consistency in the episode's narrative due to this.
 * While Arisa herself doesn't know it, she is unknowingly following in Kyoko's footsteps even further. She fallen for someone older than her and exceptionally kind and awkward; though Arisa does know he's a klutz like Tohru.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * Arisa’s flashback of recalling when Tohru caused a stack of books she was carrying to fall to the floor while bowing was added for the anime.
 * When Saki is shown with the various summer objects in her hands in the manga, she was also carrying a beach ball and the water tube had a striped pattern instead of being solid black in color.
 * The conversation between Tohru and her friends in the classroom was added for the anime, following the point where the male classmates get dumbfounded with learning Saki won’t need to take summer classes. Dialogue mentioning Arisa meeting a guy was originally covered in Chapter 50 of the manga when Tohru, Saki, and Megumi went to the cafe that Arisa was working in.
 * While going through the shopping complex, Momiji was holding Tohru’s hand in the manga.
 * The kappa that scares Tohru while in the haunted house was added for the anime.
 * The anime removed Arisa seeing Tohru, Saki, and Megumi coming into the cafe she was working at for lunch. Outside of mentioning the guy Arisa saw, Megumi remarked he came with the girls to see Arisa in a mini-skirt and Arisa would get reprimanded by her manager for socializing with her friends.
 * When Arisa discovered how restrictive Kureno’s lifestyle was, she was still sitting down instead of standing up in the manga.
 * Tohru was originally with Megumi and the girls in the manga when they went out for dinner. Due to Tohru not being present during this scene in the anime, this led to some of the scene’s dialogue being changed.
 * While at Shigure’s house having dinner, Tohru and the guys were dressed in casual clothes in the manga. In addition, Shigure’s presence here is anime-only and led to some additional dialogue being added to the scene as a result.
