Yukimura that she's in love with him, it sets off an interesting debate. Being
the kind of students that they are, Yukimura wonders if love can be proven as
a formula. Himuro's first attempt, counting increased heartbeats and numbers
of longing glances, seem promising. However, when they test those results
under laboratory conditions, reenacting scenes from romantic manga, the data
gets confusing. Especially after they drag in classmate Kanade Kotonoha to act
as a "control", since when she and Yukimura reenact the same scenes, much of
the "physical evidence" is duplicated! Of course, that just means that they
and their entire research team will just have to try harder! Is love blind?
And was it blinded by science?"
