SHUFFLE! 11

A supporting cast episode featuring Mayumi Thyme and Benibara Nadeshiko. There’s a nice scene in the cafe Flora when Nadeshiko-sensei wrangles homemade sausages out of Asa-chan. Apparently her culinary reputation extends beyond the students and to the teachers as well. Nadeshiko-sensei is surprised when Asa-chan reveals that there is a guy who is special to her.
