Hijikata Toushirou a.k.a. Mayora 13 and Kuriko in Episode 114
Developed a crush on Mayora 13, aka Hijikata Toushirou in Episode 35 when her father, Kondou, Hijikata and Okita were spying on her and her first date. She would later meet Hijikata again (anime only) and develop an even stronger crush on him. She bid farewell to Hijikata, believing a lie that he was the prince of Mayora planet who would have died if he stayed on Earth too long.
Subsequently, the second time father spied on her while she was working at a konbini. Asked Hijikata out for a date on her own, and during the 'date' which Hijikata planned to make her ditch him, she was never once put off by having to watch porn-movie, eat the Hijikata-Special (in fact she liked it, leading to Hijikata blushing happily momentarily) or see Hijikata behaving like a coward in front of 'hooligans' (played by the Yorozuya trio). The hooligan incident is an exact replay, including spoken lines, of Episode 101 when Hijikata was confronted by a group of Jouishishi rebels after being newly possessed by the spirit of the cursed sword, and had to be rescued by Itou Kamotarou.
