I Will Be Your Bloom

Former teacher Asuka takes a job as the dorm parent for a struggling group of young entertainers, one of whom used to be a student of hers.

Asuka resolves to gain more fans for 8LOOM; the boys grow restless as they face the daunting challenge of securing a contract renewal.

As part of her strategy to make the 8LOOM members more self-reliant, newly appointed chief manager Kosaka declares that Asuka is no longer needed.

Hanamaki tells Dan to write a love song, but he's never written one before. Asuka goes on a mock date with him and learns about his complex feelings.

The boys get the chance to have a live performance broadcast on TV, but the day before the show, they learn that Takara has been hiding an injury.

As 8LOOM's popularity grows, the group books a performance at Dan's old high school; Eiji gets angry when Yukiya invites a former member to the show.
