In Amagami SS season 1 episode 19, titled "Succession," we see Haruka Morishima's arc come to an end. The episode begins with Haruka getting a call from her father, who wants her to come back and take over the family business. This news stresses out Haruka, as she has always wanted to make her own path in life and not follow in her father's footsteps.
She confides in Junichi, telling him about her dilemma and how she's not sure what to do. Junichi offers his support and tells her that he will always be there for her. This reassures Haruka and she decides to take some time to think about her decision.
Meanwhile, Junichi has his own problems to deal with. He's been selected to be the student council president by popular vote, but he's not sure if he's up for the job. His friends encourage him to take on the challenge and remind him that he has their support.
As Haruka is contemplating her decision, she runs into her ex-boyfriend, who tells her that he still has feelings for her and wants to get back together. Haruka is taken aback by this, and she's not sure how to react. She confides in Junichi once again, who tells her that he trusts her and that he will support her no matter what she decides.
With all these pressures mounting, Haruka decides to take a trip with Junichi to clear her head. They go to a hot spring resort, where they have a romantic and relaxing time. Haruka finally makes her decision about the family business and proposes a different plan to her father.
In the end, Haruka and Junichi return to school, where Junichi makes his decision about the student council president position. Haruka also has some news to share, which surprises everyone.
Overall, "Succession" is a heartwarming episode that shows the growth of two characters as they face difficult decisions and support each other through it all. The episode's pacing is just right, allowing the emotions to sink in slowly and making the resolutions feel earned. The relationship between Haruka and Junichi is a highlight of the episode, as they show that they're always there for each other no matter what. If you're a fan of romance anime, then "Succession" is definitely an episode to watch.
