The Episode begins with Yamada showing Hagu her snowglobe collection and remarking how beautiful snow on the beach is.Meanwhile Nomiya is with Yamazaki looking at a similiar snowglobe. Luigi has taken on a wierd project of building a german restaurant next to a souvenir shop in Tottori right next to sand dunes. Yamizaki wants to show Miwako the dunes, but Nomiya just thinks she would be interested in sake and crab.
Yamizaki ask Nomiya if he wants to show Yamada the dunes. Nomiya doesn’t know. He can’t call her because she doesn’t have a cellphone and is guarded at home by her dad. Yamizaki asks if he thinks about her. He does but it’s a pain, as he can’t stand the thought of hurting a child, talking about Yamada’s mindset. Yamizaki reminds him that she’s an adult but see’s what he means. He asks why Nomiya thinks being with someone hurts them. Yamizaki says that when he finds the right person he would treasure them. The sand blows in and some get in Nomiya’s eye, causing him to remarks how it feels like his eye’s are open.
Nomiya calls Miwako and finds out Yamada is working with Rika. They both thinks it’s stupid how she’s hurting herself being that near to Mayama. Miwako tells Nomiya to give her a call. At Harada, Yamada finds Mayama spying on Rika’s computer, which he lies about saying he’s checking the weather. hijinks ensue. Meanwhile a fax comes in saying Rika won a contest and has to go to Spain. Mayama asks her if it is true. She says yes, that it was a project she started with Harada and Mayama’s coming with her. Before then they’ll have a lot of work so she excuses herself to get some rest. Mayama asks Yamada about a weather cam on Otaru, Hokkaido, Rika’s hometown, and how she looks at it a lot. However she hasn’t been home in a long time. Rika is looking at blueprints and remarks how this is her last project with Harada.
Nomiya calls Yamada at Harada and they both ask how the other is doing. Nomiya remarks how Yamizaki is bothering him every night and keeping him up. Nomiya says he is surprised she works there and Yamada says she was invited by Rika. Mayama’s still the same and she’s working hard to make a portfolio and other pottery to sell. They both say goodbye to eachother. We can see Yamada crying and nomiya deciding to drive to tokyo, knowing Yamada was lying ( awesome song here ).
Nomiya arrives only to find out that Miwako sent Yamada to Tottori because she was depressed. They think of calling her but remember she doesn’t have a cellphone.
Nomiya tells Miwako to send a message to Yamizaki to not let her leave and heads back to Tottori. Miwako thinks of how manly Nomiya is since he chose to drive instead of waiting for a flight. Yamada arrives super depressed in Tottori, where Yamizaki does a crazy tour around town, showing how bad he is with girls because he went to an all boy school. He’s at the breaking point when Nomiya finally arrives asking Yamada not to leave and falls asleep on the couch still holding Yamada’s hand. Yamizaki quickly gets a futon and tells her to take care of him.
Nomiya wakes up to see Yamada’s super hot legs and pretends she’s guarded by yakuza unicorns. He wakes her up with breakfast and they go to see the sand dunes. Yamada asks where he was and he says tokyo. He says he went to see Yamada. She believes this is a lie and he tells her he knows she was crying. She asks why. He silently tells himself because he’s been watching her while she’s been watching Mayama whom she can’t have,
and that he’ll be there after she cries to help her. But she’ll probably cry where he can’t help her. Nomiya see’s her off at the train and tells her to call him when she’s down and asks why. He says because he loves her and the train pulls out. Yamizaki heard this a takes Nomiya to party while yamada nervously eats a lot on the train, with the pack of yakuza unicorns following her to tokyo.
Starting off a little late here so I skipped episodes 01 and 02. 01 was all recap of last season and since I’m blogging this, you can assume I watched the first season and enjoyed it immensely. 02 shows Yamada working at Harada and how close Mayama and Rika have become, along with jokes about the remedies of hiccups. Now 03 is a milestone episode. Here we see Nomiya realizing and confessing his love to Yamada. Now I never really like Nomiya, figuring him as a playboy type character, however him confessing his love so fast endered him to me. Mayama’s been pining for the whole series and hasn’t gotten anywhere yet. I don’t really like Mayama. His whole going after a women a decade older than him with a dead husband, along with his flippant dismissal of Yamada, doesn’t sit well with me. Yamizaki and Miwako provide the usual comedy, along the awesome edition and the yakuza unicorn brigade. And Yamada, get a damn cellphone.
