Original: 君の花になる
A disillusioned teacher finds unexpected hope and purpose when she becomes a housemother to a struggling boy band led by her former student.
Former teacher Asuka takes a job as the dorm parent for a struggling group of young entertainers — one of whom used to be a student of hers.
Asuka resolves to gain more fans for 8LOOM. Meanwhile, the boys grow restless as they face the daunting challenge of securing a contract renewal.
As part of her strategy to make the 8LOOM members more self-reliant, newly appointed chief manager Kosaka declares that Asuka is no longer needed.
Hanamaki tells Dan to write a love song, but he's never written one before. Asuka goes on a mock date with him and learns about his complex feelings.
The boys get the chance to have a live performance broadcast on TV. But the day before the show, they learn that Takara has been hiding an injury.
As 8LOOM's popularity grows, the group books a performance at Dan's old high school. Eiji gets angry when Yukiya invites a former member to the show.
Dan and the boys plan a surprise for Asuka to show their appreciation for her. Later, they learn why she decided to quit her teaching job.
The 8LOOM members are thrilled to learn they will play their first nationwide tour. Dan asks an insecure Naru to direct the group's music video.
When Dan refuses to apologize to 8LOOM's fans, Hanamaki tells him to take a break from the group. Later, rifts begin to form between the members.
Asuka begins working as a dorm manager and teacher at an alternative school. Meanwhile, the boys make a difficult decision about their future.
