Summary[]

With her pop idol career on the line, enraged Yumemi seeks to ruin Yumeko after a scandalous voice recording is used as a bargaining chip.~THE END~

Plot[]

Yumemi invites the campus to witness the gamble that takes place after her in-school concert arranged by Kaede. Yumeko and Yumemi maneuver games designed to test their idol skills including dancing and singing. Yumemi deviously allows Yumeko to win several games to exacerbate her loss towards the end. For the final game they guess the birth months of the audience members, which is a crucial moment for Yumeko to avoid losing the entire gamble. Yumemi, having memorized the birthdays of her entire fan club, is confident in her victory, but panics when Yumeko manipulates the dice to choose Mary. Yumeko tricks Yumemi into writing '9' on her card when she wrote '6', but when Mary's birthday is revealed to be in March, Yumeko succeeds with her guess being three months closer, winning the bet.

Yumeko's recording of Yumemi loathing her fans is played to the audience; however, Yumemi's supporters remain loyal to her. Yumeko, pleased with Yumemi's conviction, reveals that someone attempted to sabotage Yumemi's career by sending her the torn fan letter along with the challenge match. Yumemi then publicly accuses Kaede as the only plausible culprit for running the match with her. Kaede denies any wrongdoing and announces his plans to be the next President of the Student Council. Yumeko suggests they gamble to decide who is lying, declaring it an official match that Kaede cannot refuse.

Differences between anime and manga[]

  • The anime skips over the three games that Yumemi and Yumeko played, including “Keep your Poker Face,” which challenge is the contestants to not give away who ate the takoyaki with peppers, “Lung Power Check,” which test and lung capacity, and “Idol Song Intro Quiz,” which was trivia based on pop idol songs (Chapter 20).
  • When playing “Old Maid Extreme,” in the anime, Yumeko won the game on her first turn. In the manga, she won on her third turn, drawing Yumemi’s joker on the first turn despite her folding the corner of that card in an attempt to lose intentionally (Chapter 20).
  • After Yumemi and Yumeko perform the encore, in the manga, Mary reveals that Yumemi previously faked her tears but Ryota still compliments Yumemi’s acting ability. This is omitted from the anime (Chapter 21).
  • When Yumeko reveals the ripped up fan letter, in the manga, Shinnouji recognizes it as his. This does not occur in the anime. (Chapter 22).

Trivia[]

  • The name of the episode is a reference to Yumemi's last name.
  • Yumemi's losing condition for Yumeko was to join together in an idol duo; however, Yumemi's actual plan was for her to be sexually exploited by company executives and forced into the porn industry to glorify Yumemi's status.
