Not so much happened this episode as far as the band activities went, no more concerts nor have they recorded any new songs with their new member Mio. Mio is really going through some difficult times impersonating her twin brother, she's made a decision to finally come out with the truth that she's really a female and to leave the band. One reason for that is she's really starting to fall for Ren in a romantic way, coming from a convent feelings like that are new to her and she thinks they are sinful.
Mio was all set to go through with her decision to leave the band but got talked out of it by Ren. He didn't know what she was thinking but just in a general conversation about the band he laid out his true feelings, this struck a nerve in Mio's heart and though she came so close to leaving the band she chose to stay. However Ren has been noticing certain things about Mio, the way she looks and acts, it's really just a matter of time until he discovers the true secret of her. Another one to worry about is Nana, she's a bit of a popular idol who really wants to go out with Ren but he has no desire to be with her at all, she comes off nicely in front of her fans but she is one person you don't want to get on the bad side of.
Well Mio has gotten on the bad side of Nana who is the first person to question Mio's gender, she hasn't told anyone yet but to Nana Mio is anything but a male. For the next few episodes Nana brings much agony to Mio and the band's lives, she threatens often to tell of Mio's true identity but something always goes wrong when she is about to.
Said there were no new activities for the band but their manager has other plans for Mio after her successful first concert. He's planned for Mio to release her first solo CD and she naturally is shocked at the idea, things are really getting out of control for her, one of the the main reasons she wanted to reveal to everyone that she's actually a female. You can see in many of the screenshots that Mio does go back to wearing woman's clothes on two occasions and she truly looks fantastic when she does. Ren actually did see her dressed like that and sort of fell for her when he saw how beautiful she was, another step closer though for him finding out Mio's secret.
Though Mio is really suffering by episodes end she has decided to stay in the band, she's truly uncomfortable though with her planned solo debut. She'll get a bit of a break with that as it's not planned until the next episode, it was revealed to her at the end of this show that it's a special song that Ren will be writing.
Slowly getting here with these recaps, 8 more to go and though these are somewhat short still takes about 20 minutes to do one so times that by 11 episodes and it takes a while, that's the main reason it took me so long to start on these. Haven't said yet whether this drama has been good or not up until now but the answer to that is easy as it's been a really enjoyable watch, the episodes actually get better as the series goes on and would really recommend watching this show, really a must watch for Miori fans.
