5. "Gag 100-Kaibun Aishite Kudasai" ]] '''Special! Best Mini ~2.5 Maime no Kare~''' (スッペシャル!ベストミニ ～2.5枚目の彼～) is an extended play CD released by pre-teen Japanese pop band Berryz Koubou. It is the third of three releases issued by the band in the space of four weeks, along with their second album Dai 2 Seichouki and tenth single "Gag 100 Kaibun Aishitekudasai". "2.5" is pronounced as nī ten go.

The EP contains five previously released tracks in the aforementioned tenth single's A-side, plus four earlier single sides. Only one track, "Arigatou! Tomodachi", is exclusive to the EP.

The EP's release is apparently tied to the Christmas gift-giving season, as the EP's outer tray liner and booklet back cover depicts the band members standing in a light snowfall, while the inside tray liner and the CD's label depicts a cartoon snowman.

Former band member Ishimura Maiha appears but is not credited on the four previously released closing tracks on the EP
