The episode looked at the first cast meeting for the Tokyo Blade project. Some characters clicked right away, while others had unusual personalities. Ruby wasn’t happy about Akane playing Aqua’s fiancee.
It also showed the dynamic between the authors of Tokyo Blade and Sweet Today. Abiko, unhappy with the script, decided to write it herself.
The episode ended with Akane and Aqua on a date, watching a play to understand their roles better. Episode 3 will likely focus on Abiko and Goa’s partnership and how it impacts the show’s success.
