Ep 25. Hinata and Misaki and Usui

Hinata and Misaki are old friends from before she became the student council president. They run into each other again at a café and catch up on old times. Hinata mentions that he's interested in Misaki and Usui notices her reaction to this. Later, Misaki and Hinata end up going on a date but Usui shows up to help out when Hinata has to unexpectedly leave. Misaki and Usui get into a disagreement about their true feelings for each other. Hinata notices Misaki and Usui arguing and questions if Misaki has feelings for Usui. Misaki tries to deny it, but Hinata already knew.

In this episode, we see a lot of development for Hinata's character. He's sweet, caring, and genuinely interested in Misaki. He doesn't press her for answers about her feelings for Usui and instead, tries to support her no matter what. We also get to see a bit more of Usui's jealousy when he sees Hinata with Misaki. He doesn't like the idea of anyone else being interested in her and he can't help but feel protective over her.

Misaki, on the other hand, is struggling with her own feelings. She's always been so focused on work and school that she hasn't really had time to explore her romantic side. Throughout the episode, she tries to convince herself that she doesn't have feelings for Usui but it's clear that she's lying to herself. Hinata helps her to realize this and encourages her to be honest with herself.

One of the best moments in this episode is when Hinata and Misaki are out on their date. They're having a great time together and it's clear that they have a strong connection. However, when Hinata has to leave, Misaki realizes that her feelings for him aren't romantic. She's grateful to have him as a friend but she knows that her heart belongs to Usui.

The episode ends with Usui and Misaki talking about their true feelings for each other. Usui admits that he loves her and Misaki finally accepts her own feelings. It's a heartwarming moment that leaves the audience excited for what's to come in the next season.

Overall, this episode is a great way to end the first season of Maid-sama. It's filled with character development, humor, and heartwarming moments. The Hinata and Misaki storyline is a nice change of pace from the usual focus on Usui and it's great to see Misaki realize her true feelings. This episode sets up the second season perfectly and leaves the audience excited for more.
