After viewing some blurred images Taiga took of Yuusaku Kitamura, Ryuuji offers to take pictures of him for Taiga. During school, Taiga speaks out to the student council president, but is stopped by Yuusaku, causing her to become both happy and depressed. Yuusaku and Minori force Ryuuji and Taiga to eat with them during lunch. Taiga becomes tense in the presence of Yuusaku and inadvertently tells them that Ryuuji made her bento. Ryuuji covers this up by saying that he is making bento for money. Ryuuji manages to take several photos of Yuusaku, but he later finds out about them. Yuusaku shows his own photos of Taiga to Ryuuji. He tells Ryuuji that he confessed to Taiga a year ago that he liked her, but she quickly turned him down, only to end up liking him. Taiga later recounts this to Ryuuji but becomes angry about the embarrassing things she is telling him. (Source: Wikipedia)
