Kawashima then reveals that Taiga has a bento, for Ryuuji and her. Kawashima, Minori, and Taiga arrive, all with visible bentos except for Taiga.
#Ova meaning full
Noto, Kitamura, Haruta, Nanako and Kihara are having a picnic at a place full of cherry blossom trees and a lake. Taiga makes him realize that bentos aren't about which has the better food, it's that you make them with love for the person you care about.

Troubled by this he goes so far as to bring a rice cooker to class in order to have freshly made rice for lunch, which he gets in trouble for. He still feels like he lost since Mio-chan gave Kitamura an onion soup and a sandwich. That afternoon he goes shopping with Taiga to buy things to put in the bento and truly test out his “housewife abilities.” After Ryuuji finally comes up with a smart idea (and stops continually talking to himself), Ryuuji and Taiga eat ramen (instant noodles) for lunch the next day. The next day Ryuuji goes all out by making cutlets with fried eggs, but still feels beaten by Mio-chan when Kitamura’s riceballs are built to perfection with various fillings. He’s troubled a lot by it and asks Ami about Kitamura’s grandmother who she affectionately calls Mio-chan. He is embarrassed by his plain bento when Kitamura asks to take a picture of a “regular” bento to show his grandmother. Kitamura’s grandmother makes him a pro 3-tiered bento with loads of ridiculously good food. Ryuuji has a sort of complex about getting outdone in making homemade bentos. This OVA was first aired on December 21, 2011. After Taiga brings him some salty onigiri, Ryuuji realizes that the true meaning of bentos is not the taste, but the feelings that are put into it. Desperate to beat Yusaku's bentos, Ryuuji obsessively tries to compete against them to the point where he even brings a rice cooker to school.

Yusaku brings an extravagant bento box to share with the class, which makes Ryuuji feel inferior about his own bento making skills.
