haha I do, but that didn't take long to make! Glad you like it Jopo! lol

Here's tonight's episode!

Mukouda is excited that one of her boxers is finally fighting in a title match and her gym could have another champion boxer. Later while he's out jogging, Kosaku runs into Sister Angela and he tells her about his match with Kurenai. She's happy when he tells her that Kurenai has cancelled her debt, but runs off when Mukouda rides up. She stays back to talk to Angela and she doesn't correct her when Angela beams about Kurenai calling off her debt. Kosaku begins training very hard, and even at the host club Kurenai only pretends to drink with his patrons.

At the gym Katsumi and Ueda discuss his spar with Kurenai and talk boxing. Later for dinner, ALL the boxers get Kosaku's usual tiny portion, much to their dismay, until Ueda explains that they're all in it together for Kosaku.

At the convent, Incho tries to inspire the other nuns about the beauty of spring, when Kurenai shows up in his flashy car and confronts her about her bill in front of all the other nuns. He tells her the truth about his match with Kosaku and tells her she still has to pay her bill. Sister Milly and Incho talk to Angela about the situation privately and all she can say is that she's sorry and rushes out. She shows up at the gym while the boxers are training to confront Kosaku about the debt and though he tries to be reassuring, he says something that upsets her and she runs out. Kosaku and the other boxers all run after her and soon Incho is following after them on a bike.

Everyone shows up at the host club and Incho hands over an envelope with Angela's full debt paid in it. She tries to protest, but Incho won't let her. As they go to leave, Kurenai says it's not enough money, that now she owes more. The boxers raise a fit and Kosaku yells for everyone to stop and gives Incho back her money. He ups the stakes telling Kurenai their fight wager still stands regarding the debts. Angela becomes very upset about the situation and Kosaku ends up yelling at her saying he won't lose. (I think!)

Incho comes to talk to Angela while she's in her room praying. She's surprisingly upbeat about the whole situation. I'm not sure what she said to her though, it was a short scene. :/ Then Kosaku and Ueda are in their beds talking about Kurenai and Ueda gives Kosaku some encouraging words that seem to make him feel better.

The next day Angela and sees Kosaku sitting on the side of the road but doesn't approach him and he runs off when Mukouda rides over. Angela rushes over to her. I'm not really sure what they say to each other, but Angela doesn't seem to be in a better mood after.

During a press conference between Kurenai and Kosaku regarding their match Kurenai seems to get all the attention and praise since he's the Japan Champion. Mukouda encourages Kosaku to say something and he embarrasses her by going on about Sister Angela. Kurenai confronts him after in the locker room and I think changes what they're fighting for. I'm not sure of the specifics but he seems to be pretty underhanded about whatever it is.

After a montage of Kosaku and Kurenai training respectively, and Angela praying, it's time for the match, which Kosaku is happy Angela has attended. She wishes him luck, but I don't think she intends on staying? The other boxers have some fun in the ring with Kosaku before anyone has shown up to the arena, but Kosaku seems a little less than enthused about the event. At the convent, Angela says something to Incho in her office, that the older women doesn't seem happy to hear. (Not sure what thought! I think that maybe she's leaving the convent.)

Later, while Kosaku is getting ready for the match at the arena, Ueda tries to sneak his things out of the gym, but the other two boxers catch him in the act and discover he's trying to leave for good. I zoned out while they were talking to him though so I'm not sure what they said to him. lol Sorry!

Time for the match! The nuns all gather (except Incho) to say goodbye to Angela. Incho prays in her office and Angela walks away from the convent. During the match, Kosaku takes a beating, but is persistant and lands a hit when it counts, knocking out Kurenai. Neither Ueda nor Angela were at the match.

Next episode: Lots of conversation between Angela and Kosaku. Not sure what's going to happen though!

There was also a commercial at the end of the episode for the drama soundtrack. The cover was so cute; a pair of boxing gloves arranged so that they made a perfect heart! I'm going to have to get my hands on that! haha

Ah, thanks for those clarifications! My Japanese isn't as good as I wish it were. lol

Final Episode!!

Everyone at the gym (except Kosaku who has gone to see Angela) is having a big celebration lunch when Katsumi wonders where Ueda is, and they all have to tell him. Kosaku arrives at the convent to see Angela and tell her he won, and is told that she's gone. When Kosaku asks where she went, Milly tells him something about she went to follow her heart and find her family(?). Kosaku sits sulking about Angela and some boys run up and make a big deal about his prize belt so he tells them they can have it and the run off with it.

Ueda sees Angela waiting at a bus stop, but she doesn't get on the bus that comes by. He approaches her to talk and they make chit chat about how they're each going somewhere. Angela is pretty surprised to hear Ueda's leaving the gym. They talk about how she didn't go watch the fight and hasn't seen Kosaku, which Ueda berates her a little for. They end up at a restaurant together to continue their conversation. When Angela goes to leave, Ueda says something to her (all I could make out was thirty) and she seems surprised by whatever he said.

Back at the gym, Katsumi misses Ueda, and the other boxers and Mitaka sit in the gym and eat peanuts when Ueda rushes in to tell them about Angela. (Who is back at the restaurant starting on a stack of Inuyasha tankouban!) Kosaku is drowning his sorrows in noodles at the restaurant he sometimes works at, which is where the other boxers find him. They drag him off yelling about Angela. Ueda runs back to the restaurant (which I guess was also a bookstore) and finds a note from her that Kosaku gets upset about after reading back at the gym.

That night Kosaku lays depressed in his bed while Ueda sits by and they talk until Kosaku falls asleep. The next day Kosaku isn't any better, and the other boxers hover around him. Nothing they say seems to snap him out of his state. I think he tells them he gave away his belt, and they all seem pretty upset about that. The other four boxers go to the convent without Kosaku to find Angela and talk to Milly instead, who just says she's not there.

At the gym, Mukouda and Mitaka watch Kosaku lay like a lump in the middle of the ring. Mukouda shows him his Champion Certificate, but he just leaves like a child. The boxers are wondering what to do when Sister Angela practically sits next to them in a park. She tries to get away from them, but they follow her, trying to convince her to go talk to Kosaku. Back at the convent Milly talks to Incho about the boxers coming to look for Angela when another Sister runs in to tell them that Angela is back. She has barricaded the doors in the chapel to escape from the other boxers.

The boxers are trying to pursuade Angela to come out, when Milly, Incho, and the other nun (Grace?) show up and Incho decides to let them try to talk her out. Nothing seems to work though. Incho says something about how nice it is Angela has so many friends. Kosaku is pouting on a bench in a park when he sees the boys he gave his belt to. Two of them are ganging up on the one wearing it. Kosaku asks for it back and puts it on, showing them his 'champion punch.' Mukouda's words finally seem to sink in a little as he shows off for the kids, who cheer him on and give him his confidence back. One of the boxers shows up, to take him to Angela.

Milly tries her turn talking Angela out of the chapel, but Incho stops her (I guess Milly was going the guilt trip route) and seems to say some encouraging words to her. Just then, Kosaku shows up and tells her through the door how he won the championship (I guess for her?) and it's enough for her to move the shelves away from the door so Kosaku can come in. They trade some polite chit chat; she congratulates him on winning, he thanks her. Then I think he asks her why she wished him luck, but then didn't come see his fight. She tells him she likes him and had to sort out her feelings. Kosaku is glad to hear she likes him too, but says he can't be with her because he's a champion boxer now and can't let everyone down. (Or something like that? I'm probably totally off. lol)

Mukouda and Mitaka sit on the edge of the ring back at the gym wondering what to do about Kosaku. It seems like Mitaka is about to say something to Mukouda, when Katsumi shows up, and suddenly the rest of the boxers do as well, with Kosaku. After they tell her about how Kosaku talked to Angela, Mukouda shows them a photo of a scary looking boxer that she wants Kosaku to fight. He impresses them all by saying he'll do what a champion boxer should (or something). Katsumi says something to Ueda (that he wants him to train him maybe?) and they all seem to have gotten much more chipper and perky. Everyone begins training harder than ever, and Mukouda has a line out the door of new applicants wanting to join the gym. (Insert big Kosaku training montage.)

One day Kosaku is jogging and finds himself in front of the convent. He stops to look at it for a moment, but forces himself to run past it. That night Mukouda says some encouraging words to Kosaku. The next day is his big fight. In the locker room, he gets in some last minute practice and everyone leaves him to his thoughts. Suddenly the door opens and Kosaku looks up to see Angela dressed in street clothes. He addresses her as 'Sister' and she tells him she's not a nun anymore. They stare at each other for awhile, when suddenly they can hear the crowd outside. Angela wishes him good luck and he heads off to his match.

Some time later we are taken to the church, where Mukouda and Incho share a moment. Mukouda is dressed in a really beautiful kimono. Kosaku and Angela are apparently getting married. (In super trendy Western bridal wear. lol) They walk down the aisle together and live happily ever after! The gym's restaurant has created a dish in honor of Kosaku, and deliver it to the nuns for their lunch one day. Another boxer from the gym becomes a champion. Ueda continues to train Katsumi. Another one of the boxers trains new recruits like a drill sergeant. And the serious boxer trains under Mitaka for an upcoming match with a scary looking guy.

Kosaku leaves his apartment, and Angela runs after him to give him the boxing gloves he forgot, and she watches him leave. She suddenly has a thought and runs after him, finding him digging into a roasted sweet potato. She takes it away from him, wishes him luck, and sends him on his way. The end!
