== Short Summary ==
"The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.37" opens with a flashback to the very first time Ritsu Onodera crossed paths with a teenage Masamune Takano, still then known as Masamune Saga. They're both still in middle school at this point, Ritsu a new first year, and Saga a third year. Ritsu watches with great interest on the train they're both commuting on as Saga reads a literary magazine that Ritsu also enjoys. He looks back on that event thinking about how it must have been the start of his feelings for Saga, rather than their first encounter in their school's library depicted in "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.2.5" and other various series flashbacks.
Moving to the present, Ritsu is still working on the Emerald magazine rebrand that started in "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.36", as well as stressing out about getting in all his co-workers' manuscripts on time. Things progress for the day, and after everyone else but Takano and Ritsu go home, they leave together, as they are still cohabitating in Ritsu's apartment until Takano's air conditioning can be fixed. They go grocery shopping together, and return to Ritsu's place and cook their dinner together. Over their meal, they talk more about Ritsu's future exam that he must take to become a full-time employee at Marukawa Publishing that was first mentioned in No.36, and Takano offers to practice for the interview with him. Ritsu excitedly accepts his offer, but the questions quickly turn into far more personal topics rather than something he'd actually be asked in the interview, like things about his first love and first kiss.
On the topic of relationships, they begin talking about their past and their time together as students. When Takano gets up to go grab some tea, Ritsu's emotions are swayed, and gets up to confess his romantic feelings to Takano, but a phone call from the printers interrupts him before he can complete his sentence. After Takano wraps up the phone-call, he comments on how the mood is gone now, as he had realized what Ritsu was trying to do before being interrupted. Ritsu apologizes and says that he'll try another time, causing Takano to kiss him on the lips for the first time since his promise not to do so until Ritsu confessed his feelings in "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.32". Takano apologizes for breaking the promise and goes to leave the room, but Ritsu stops him and insists that it was fine. They touch each other sexually for a brief time, and the scene cuts to the following morning. Takano just got off the phone with the air conditioning repairmen who will be fixing his unit, and says he'll be leaving Ritsu's apartment, but not before suggesting that they should just move in together. Ritsu says they're not even lovers, so they shouldn't do something like that, and Takano gives him a hard time about it, causing Ritsu to exclaim that it's his (Ritsu's) fault that they're not together yet.
