Hiro the sheep shows up and is obnoxious and not just because he's a 12-year-old boy.  He loves Kisa but when he told Akito, Akito knocked her to the ground.  Hiro not only didn't stand up to Akito (which to be fair, Hatori didn't do for his girlfriend), but he didn't protect her from the mocking kids at school.  Now Kisa thinks of Tohru as a big sister, calling her "Sissy," and Hiro is jealous of the time they spend together, so he's rude to Tohru.  It's at least nice to see Kyo and the others stick up for Tohru.  And, no, I'm not going to explain the title.  Note that the made-up anime/manga series that a random little boy was a fan of appears in a couple clips.
