■ Male and Female Members Clash on the Final Day!? "Have You Ever Seen a Romance Show Like This!?" Studio in Uproar
In #6, an unexpected development unfolds on the final day. As the members gather in the living room for "Destiny's Confession Time," they are prescribed an "okusuri" (medicine/device) that states, "You are free to confess or not. If there is someone you want to convey your current feelings to, please express them as they are." However, a certain event causes a clash of emotions between the male and female members, leading to exclamations from the studio like "Have you ever seen a romance show like this!?" There are also moments of uproar, with comments like "This isn't confession time, it's hell time!"
What kind of final moments will the members experience?

Furthermore, Nishitokyo City Council member Izumi, who returned after finishing work, requested another two-shot time with Shinji during their free time. They head out on a drive date that could be called an "extended match."
Izumi, who prepared her own "love okusuri," actively approaches Shinji to make up for lost time. Will their relationship change on this last date?
■ Towards Destiny's Confession Time... Shinji Ishimaru Says, "There's Something I Absolutely Must Convey." What Will the Members Decide?
And finally, it's "Destiny's Confession Time." The participants are troubled by the content of the "okusuri," which states, "You are free to confess or not."
Amidst this, Shinji says, "There's something I absolutely want to convey, something I must convey," and the other members also begin to move with their own feelings. In this intricately intertwined relationship, who will make what choice?
The situation rapidly develops during "Destiny's Confession Time." The final episode #6 of 'Renai Byoin,' where everything will be revealed, will be broadcast on ABEMA from 10 PM on Thursday, May 7. Please look forward to it.
