Christmas Special - Silent EveScreenshot:
We learn that the reason Mutsumi went to Hinata when she was small becasuse her mother helped around Hinata. Its December 21st....Christmas Season, but no time to stop studying for the 3 ronins. (The year in the anime is 2000, but the manga is 1999) There is a rumor going around that if two people confess their love on Christmas Eve, their love will be forever. Naru doesnt like the whole Christmas spirit thing because she is worried about the exam. Keitaro, Haitani, and Shirai work for a bakery to earn some extra cash. The next day, Su and Sara go gift hunting and finds a gift from Naru to someone with the word "love" in the letter. Everyone thinks its for Keitaro and Shinobu cracks and tells Keitaro about the letter. While Keitaro was celebrating....he sprained his ankle. While Keitaro was in bed, Naru visited him and thought she was going to confess...
but she didnt, so Keitaro confessed his love to her and Naru runs away.
The next day, Naru went home to study and this is the final day for Keitaro's part-time job. Keitaro uses the money to ...
buy a red jacket. For Naru?
Its Christmas Eve and time for the mock exam. (Who takes an exam on Christmas Eve?) The others wait for them, but see Naru running off with the gift and they go after her. Then Mutsumi and Keitaro come out and wonder where Naru went. They all go to Tokyo and see Naru giving the present to ...
SETA!!! Keitaro sees this and walks away.
Keitaro and Shinobu goes on a date. Motoko gives Naru her present from Keitaro and Naru figues out why he was working part-time. While Motoko was on the train, someone groped her and she hit him...which landed her in the police station. Shinobu reads the letter to Keitaro and ...
its not a love letter for Seta, but a "I used to love you" type thing.
Naru and Keitaro are supposed to meet on a bridge, but Naru left her present on the train. (Its around 17:00) Now its around 9pm (21:00) and Naru wants to meet Keitaro in the train station. Shinobu and Mitsune have no money to get home...until
Mr. Akamatsu arrives and gives them a job to sell his books. They look like Love Hina or A.I Love books.
Naru finds the gift, but couldnt get on the train, so she got help from Kentaro. While Keitaro was heading to the station he fell and was helped by...
Mutsumi, and she took him to a "love-love" hotel.
Motoko was roaming the streets by herself (Poor Motoko!) until her trio followers came by and invited her to a party. Naru gets the gift back and its now 11pm. (23:00) Su and Sara are in the same position as Shinobu and Mitsune. Su and Sara get a ride from..
"Yasuharu Maehara", who is Shinobu's dad.
Mutsumi told Keitaro that..
she is not the one that he made the promise to 15 years ago. She heard about the promise from someone, but forgot who.
Now its 1130pm (23:30) and Keitaro and Naru try to find each other. 1150pm (23:50)...still no luck. (It just pi$$es me off that no one helps a fallen cripple guy!!) At the last minute..
Naru used the jumbo-tron (the big tvs on the buildings) to confess her love for Keitaro (sorta), and she wants to go to Tokyo U together.
Its now new years (New Millenium is 2001..according to the subs) and Keitaro got a...
B on the mock exams.
The End.
This special is mostly anime original, but some parts are taken from the manga...especially the ending credits of the new year.
