## Summary

Following their earlier run-in with Ren, Hasegawa, and Yui, Yamada took Akane to his house. They were so drenched that Akane was forced to shower at Yamada's house while Yamada spoke with Eita on his cell phone. Because her clothes and undergarments were soaking wet, Akane wore Yamada's clothes from top to bottom.

Just then, a loud knocking noise and a shout came from outside as Akane sat on Yamada's sofa, thinking about what had happened between her and Yui and how guilty she felt for what she had said. As a result, Akane was frantically knocking on the bathroom door where Yamada was taking a shower because she couldn't ignore the person who appeared to be intoxicated and was likely a pervert or a stalker of Yamada. The person on the other side was persistent, despite Yamada's advice to Akane to ignore it and that it would be gone in five minutes when he left the bathroom half-naked.

Yamada had just finished getting ready when he decided to open the door and saw a man who appeared to be intoxicated was drenched in water and slumped on the ground outside of his house. He is referred to as Tani by Yamada. Even though it is late at night, he wears sunglasses and is dressed casually in pajamas and a hoodie. Tani entered the house, hugging Yamada and pleading with him to let him stay with him as he awaited the impending downpour. While doing so, Tani saw Akane inside and called her Rio-Rio, a woman he is familiar with from the hostess bar, who came to mind when he was thinking of her. Yamada appeared unamused by his explanation and was about to throw him out when he clarified that he was joking.

To discuss whether to allow Tani to crash in, Yamada and Akane had an impromptu meeting. Yamada had already told Tani that he would have to leave home once he used the restroom. Still, Akane simply requested that Tani stays for at least 30 minutes because she was concerned about what would happen to a drunk man like him on a particularly stormy night. He warns Akane not to get too close to him because Tani is said to quickly fall in love with women. She was a little surprised by what he had just said and decided to give him a smack on the lips. Tani saw what happened while watching the couple from inside the bathroom.

Recent problem: Some young gray hair
He mostly shows up as an extra in some volumes, but he does finally show up in a chapter. Additionally, he is seeking a girlfriend.

Tani: Aqua and Yamada, when are you two coming? If you're not gonna practice, I'm going to bed.
I've had enough playing today, I doubt any of them is coming
(Appears as a freebie comic in Volume 2 - right: left side was on Volume 1)

He is a man who was only permitted to appear in the chapter after his hair volume was slightly reduced because it resembles Yamada's Afro character and his face was slightly smeared because it looks like the convenience store owner. Taniyan here. I hope you had fun with it. I'm hoping to see you again soon. Mashiro.”*
