Kouta's classmates, Mizuno Yuu and Yoshino Shunsuke, reveal that they too love Sanrio characters and are self-professed, "Sanrio Boys". And, much to Kouta's surprise, they feel no shame in admitting that they like these things! Kouta has a hard time accepting this and tries to avoid a very intense Yuu bent on becoming his friend, but finds himself unable to avoid his new acquaintances. Meanwhile, when Kouta's stuffed Pompompurin, a beloved token from his deceased grandmother, winds up accidentally being sent off to the recycler he takes off in a desperate search to try and find it. At his wit's end Kouta is happened upon by Yuu and Shunsuke and wonders why they can admit was he has never been able to.
There's not many who share our interests,
so I just want to hurry and be friends.
قلّما تجد من يشاركنا اهتماماتنا لذا كلّ ما أريده
هو أن نصبح أصدقاء وبسرعة
On n’est pas nombreux,
je voulais qu’il soit vite des nôtres.
Non ci sono tanti ragazzi che condividono i nostri
interessi, così volevo che diventassimo in fretta amici.
Quando se encontra pessoas com os mesmos gostos,
é natural que queiramos fazer amizade logo.
Нечасто встретишь товарища по интересам.
Я хочу поскорее подружиться с ним.
