Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It

One day, a gifted graduate student in Saitama Universitys science department, Himuro Ayame, confesses her feelings to Yukimura Shinya. However, as neither of them have any experience with romance, they are worried as to whether it truly is love or not. They decide to discover "the standard conditions of love" so that they can judge each others feelings by them. Even as their underclassman in the lab, Kanade, throws up her hands in exasperation, Yukimura and Himuro attempt to quantitatively measure "thrilling palpitations of love" by taking their heart rates while performing actions such as "kabedon," "chin-lift," and "sleeve-roll," but...

At Kanades suggestion, the first "Ikeda Lab Science-type Girls Night Out" is held at a family restaurant, but Himuro and Ibarada, who are both uncomfortable around people, start talking about their experiences of being all alone. Kanade attempts to liven up the mood with some girl talk about romance, asking Himuro what she likes about Yukimura, but Himuro then pulls out some documents and begins to analyze them in a matter-of-fact manner. Later, Kosuke attends a concert and waves his penlight furiously for Aikas voice actress, Hinamori Ren. When he looks behind him, he sees Ibarada and Himuro!

Yukimura is working hard on his computer, as usual, when Himuro suddenly says, "I am in love with you. Her confession greatly shakes Yukimura. Unlike the last time, Himuro states her feelings matter-of-factly. Yukimura asks, "What theory did you use to determine that you love me?" Himuro replies by taking Yukimura out on a date and begins performing experiments theyve done before such as measuring heart rates, using an emotion counter, collecting saliva, and the kiss experiment.

Kosuke enjoyed his date with his beloved Aika. They did things like shop for clothes and watch a movie. In the midst of his fun, Kosuke watched Kanade, her date, and a lot of other couples up close. He ends up being made aware he was the only one playing with dolls, and the feeling makes him scream and cry. Meanwhile, Kanade is still in shock from the words Shikijou said to her on their date: "You didnt seem normal." Seeing this, Yukimura asks Kanade for the definition of "normal," and declares that living with an obsession about being "normal" is a truly stupid way to live.

When Himuro finds out that Yukimura spends time alone in a room with a high school girl for his part-time home tutoring job, she becomes intensely worried that he might be ogling his student. That student, Haru, isnt good at studying. Her average score on her end of term exams was 38 points. When Yukimura personally witnesses Harus father disparaging her as a failure, he... Later, the Mutsumi Festival begins and twin sister cosplayers who are brimming with youthful energy arrive at the Ikeda Labs cosplay experience.

After Kanade rejects his confession of love, Shikijou presses her for a reason, grabbing her arm and saying, "This isnt normal. This isnt like you." Kanade throws him by reflex, then Shikijou flies into a rage and turns a stun gun on her! When Kanade slowly regains consciousness, she finds herself in a dimly lit abandoned warehouse where a group of delinquents are chatting and laughing. Kanades hands and feet are tied with rope, so she cant move. Shikijou moves closer to her saying, "Kanade-san, you arent normal right now. We have to reform you."
