Tomoko's caught in a love triangle...and she doesn't even know it yet! First-year Akari is head-over-heels for Tomoko's kid brother, Tomoki. But thanks to Komi's meddling, Akari thinks she and Tomoko are rivals in love! When the three girls finally get together, the confrontation quickly devolves...into a heated debate about d*cks!

In the first term of her third year of high school, Tomoko goes on a school field trip. But the girls walking around with her have all kinds of issues! How will Tomoko intervene (or not) with the angst-laden lineup?

Tomoko’s suspension is finally over, and all her friends are waiting! With the final summer vacation of high school just around the corner, she’s determined to spend it studying to get into Aogaku, the same college as Katou…but before that, it wouldn’t hurt to hit the arcade, would it?

With all the studying Tomoko’s doing, her last summer of high school is star ting to feel like a drag. Tomoko’s determined to try something crazy before the training camp begins, and she’s got the perfect idea to spice things up-dye her hair!

As the third term of her second year in high school rolls around, Tomoko's looking like she just might be about to graduate from loserdom! With all the time she's been spending with the girls from the field trip, are her days as a loner numbered?!

Tomoko’s schedule is looking surprisingly packed this days. Between trips to the mall, open-campus events with friends, and surprise family visits, she hardly has any time to herself! All this socializing can really wear a girl out—life without friends was a whole lot simpler!

With her final year of high school quickly approaching, Tomoko is enjoying her last days of freedom with Nemo in Akihabara, and they've got a busy schedule! First up-browsing self-published manga and other less-savory merchandise at Summer-ket, and next, practicing voice acting in a real recording studio! But when Tomoko misreads her lines, the girls go more than a little off-script trying to recover, and the results are anything but professional…

Tomoko’s movie still hasn’t gotten off the ground, and she’s in desperate need of inspiration.

Only three weeks remain until her film’s screening, and Tomoko’s got a lot of work to do! Ever the thinking woman, she skips class to come up with some new ideas when Yoshida gives her a burst of inspiration.

Will her last-minute changes be a hit, or will she have to go back to the drawing board yet again?

The start of the culture festival draws near, and filming for the movie is about to end. Nemo is having second thoughts about her unsavory role in the production, but it seems to be a huge hit with the others—for better or worse! Conversely, when it comes time to film the baseball scene, no one is sure what to make of Kuroko’s unique vision, and even she isn’t convinced it’ll get the laughs she’s aiming for…
