Shiori Goshiki, the self-proclaimed princess of the Star People, wishes to enter into a marriage with Ichiro Kuga, the protagonist. Ichiro remains skeptical, but due to an unexpected accident, he becomes inseparably bound to Shiori.

The episode begins with Shiori waking up from a nap and engaging in a lively conversation with Ichiro about their unusual circumstances. Shiori’s candid admission that she is planning an unconventional, manga-inspired love story gives Ichiro much to ponder.

Shortly afterward, Ichiro falls ill with a fever, which Shiori attributes to their physical separation. This introduces a fascinating aspect of the Star People’s biology: they fall sick when distanced from their chosen partners. When Shiori sees Ichiro’s condition, she feels guilty, realizing the unfairness of the situation for him.

This guilt leads to a pivotal decision. Shiori resolves to move into Ichiro’s household. This relocation creates an intriguing scenario where space and Earth collide, as Shiori attempts to navigate daily life on Earth while preserving her celestial customs and traditions.

One of the standout scenes is the shopping trip Ichiro and Shiori embark on. It becomes a journey of self-discovery for Shiori, who is fascinated by mundane items like clothing and books. She even purchases a school uniform, revealing a longing for typical earthly experiences she missed due to her unique upbringing.

During their outing, they find themselves in a café, where Ichiro learns more about Shiori’s origins from an online source about the legend of the Star People. Their bond deepens as Shiori shares her story, allowing Ichiro to empathize with her situation. This scene subtly portrays the duality of their relationship—its novelty and the complex challenges they must face.

Later, a minor conflict arises when two strangers approach Shiori, prompting Ichiro to protect her and triggering an unexpected reaction. Shiori develops a nosebleed from forced contact with Ichiro, unveiling another intriguing aspect of the Star People’s biology. This incident underscores the complexity of their situation and highlights the potential consequences of unsanctioned physical contact.

The episode concludes on a heartwarming note, with Ichiro expressing his willingness to learn more about Shiori and her customs despite the complications. Though surprised by Ichiro’s gesture, Shiori accepts his offer.
