Kagura talks again about the mountainbike she wants to buy, while Sakaki is only focused on the blooming flowers. The strip is titled "Cleyera japonica", as in the Latin name for the sakaki tree, hinting at a connection between Sakaki's name and her knowledge of flowers and trees.
In an early chapter we find out that Kagura is on the swim team, which Chiyo talks about here.
Chiyo says she heard on TV that if you eat chocolate while you're chewing gum, the gum will melt.
