Story and art by Ken Akamatsu.

The good news is, Naru can no longer pick on Keitaro for having flunked the college entrance exams three times in a row. The bad news is, she flunked it too! Now Naru just wants to get away from it all and relax by herself in beautiful Kyoto. As fate (or bad luck) would have it, that's the exact same place that Keitaro decides to vacation at. When they check in to their hotel and find out there's only one room left and they'll have to share, Naru and Keitaro's time alone becomes a string of catastrophic mix-ups.
