Story and art by Ken Akamatsu.

Keitaro's triumphant return isn't going smoothly, and Kanako's devious impersonations of Naru hardly help matters. Hinata House isn't the only thing that's changed over the months, as Keitaro seems like a new man, and theories about a blonde-haired American girl, named 'Julie' abound. When Keitaro laughingly informs the girls that Julie was a gorilla, Naru and Kanako resume their competition for Keitaro's attention. It's going to be an uphill battle for Kanako, since Keitaro has no memory of his promise to run Hinata House as an inn with her. Desperate to win Keitaro, Kanako tricks him into making a promise to go to Tokyo U. with her in a cursed room of Hinata, no less. What ensues is a wild ride of deception and seduction, complete with marauding monkeys, a railway chase, and a battle royal with the police, all culminating with an epic climax on the rugged cliffs of Northern Japan!
