Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway, is continuing with more Sayu, more Gotou san and her I cup, and heartwarming developments - here's the release date and time for Episode 5, alongside preview screenshots and spoilers.

Higehiro episode 5 will most notably feature Gotou visiting Yoshida's apartment and meeting Sayu for the first time. This is a very powerful and important part you definitely don't want to miss. I'm sure Sayu and Gotou's seiyuu, Ichinose Kana and Kanemoto Hisako respectively, will be nailing that emotional scene.
