Episode Title:
The Palmtop Tiger of Happiness.
Episode Description:
A rumor is spread around the high school that anyone who touches Taiga will be granted one wish of happiness, much to Taiga's irritation. When pictures of the cultural festival are displayed for sale, Minori notices Ryūji buying a picture of them crossing the finish line holding hands, and she decides to buy it as a keepsake. Yuri Koigakubo, the homeroom teacher, compliments Ami as being mature and refined for noticing her wearing a cardigan from a model catalog. Ami hangs out with Maya and Nanako Kashii, who both say the same thing as well. However, after Ami bumps into Ryūji at a market, she declines his offer of some extra pork he bought, and she is surprised when he tells her that she behaves like a child. While Yūsaku contemplates after Sumire tells him something, Taiga runs into him and tries to comfort him. At night, Yasuko Takasu, Ryūji's mother, boasts that Taiga is now a part of the family. Ryūji, Ami, Minori and Yūsaku each wonder what they would wish for since they all had the chance of touching Taiga.
