Episode 19: “Exam, Stage Three” Details
Episode 19 marks a significant point in the ongoing narrative, focusing on the third stage of the JCC exams. The episode introduces a trio of special applicants who join the fray, immediately intensifying the competition. One notable new character is Toramaru, a fervent admirer of Sakamoto, who quickly finds herself in a clash with Shin.
