If you aren't a fan of the "pervy misunderstanding" trope, the first half of this chapter might feel like a chore.

The story follows Kōyō Kotesashi, a freshman who has taken a live-in position as the caretaker of a dormitory for elite female athletes at Seiwa University High School. In this chapter, the tension with Aroma Kusunoki reaches a boiling point. Following the accidental discovery of her in a state of undress in the previous chapter, Aroma is convinced Kotesashi is a "peeping tom" and a predator.

The drama shifts when , a first-year soccer standout, enters the fray. Unlike the hostile Aroma, Aoba is more observant and eventually ends up being the one to defend Kotesashi, sensing that his intentions—while physically intrusive due to his massage background—are grounded in genuine care for the athletes' bodies.

The "hand-work" remains the highlight of the series. Kotesashi’s specialized massage techniques are depicted with a level of intensity usually reserved for battle manga. Reviewers note that while the situations are undeniably provocative, the protagonist’s "dense" yet professional attitude creates a funny, if somewhat repetitive, dynamic. The chapter culminates in a scene where Aoba visits Kotesashi’s room and begins to undress, setting up the series' hallmark mix of "service" and sports-science-lite. Final Verdict
