Sweet Truths.
01. Ritsu and Mitsuru feel an instant connection the moment they meet. Time just seems to stop as their eyes lock in a gaze that burns.
02. After Mitsuru meets Ritsu she wonders how she could have ever thought Shigure-sensei was attractive. Ritsu wonders why Shigure-nii would be so mean to such a nice lady like Mitsuru-san.
03. It takes Ritsu some time to muster the courage to ask Mitsuru out on their first date. Mitsuru gladly accepts when he finally asks. She had secretly been hoping that he would.
04. Mitsuru and Ritsu can easily spend countless minutes apologizing to each other if one of them arrives late to lunch or dinner. This makes for much amusement to those who see them.
05. Mitsuru really doesn't mind that Ritsu likes to dress like a woman at times, she thinks he looks beautiful no matter what he wears. She often wonders if someone as plain as her deserves someone so lovely. Ritsu often wonders if he deserves someone as understanding as Mitsuru.
06. Mitsuru makes Ritsu feel more confident, when he is with her he doesn't feel like he needs to dress as a woman. She makes him feel secure. He secretly counts his blessings.
07. One time Shigure speaks thoughtlessly to Ritsu in Mitchan's presence and she practically bites his head off in return. Shigure soon realizes that Mitchan can be really scary when it comes to defending Ritchan.
08. The day Mitsuru accidentally finds out about Ritsu's curse, she continues to hug his cursed form and reassures him that she thinks, "Monkeys are adorable." She doesn't understand how he can transform into a monkey but she can't let go of the best thing in her life. He means too much to her.
09. Ritsu is happy the day he introduces his mother to Mitsuru, for once he doesn't feel the need to apologize. His mother is just happy to see her son accepted and loved by someone on the outside.
10. Mitsuru is certainly overwhelmed when she is introduced to Ayame and Mine. Ritsu had mentioned how much he admired Ayame and wanted to be more like him. Mitsuru doesn't have the heart to tell Ritsu that she hopes he never becomes like Ayame. Ayame is nice enough but far too energetic and fashioned obsessed for her taste. Plus Ayame is too close to Shigure and she doesn't think either are a good influence on Ritsu's self-esteem.
11. Ritsu worries that Akito will hurt Mitsuru the way he hurt Kana. He doesn't want Mitchan to forget but he doesn't want her to suffer either. Mitsuru doesn't want to forget either and vows she will fight to keep her memories if that is what it takes.
12. Ritsu wants to marry Mitsuru but is scared to ask Akito. Suddenly a feeling of emptiness overcomes him. Tears begin to flow from his eyes...did his curse just lift?

13. Ritsu is hesitant to tell anyone about his curse lifting. Mitsuru agrees to keep his secret. She doesn't fully understand but respects his decision.
14. Akito confronts Ritsu about his curse lifting. Ritsu feels braver than he has ever felt. He only agrees to continue his silence if he and Mitsuru can be married. Akito agrees.
15. Ritsu and Mitsuru finally announce their engagement, immediately Ayame volunteers to make both the bride and groom their outfits. Ritsu happily accepts much to Mitsuru's dismay. Yuki secretly offers his sympathy to Mitsuru.
