The curtain rises! Tomoko’s little brother, Tomoki, is about to star in his class’s play for the Culture Fest. But a surprise announcement from Sayaka puts everyone on high alert, and after a shocking incident during the play, all of Tomoki’s admirers get their feelings tangled up into a big mess!!

As the third term of her second year in high school gets into full swing, Tomoko finds conversations blooming all around her! The days of awkward interactions with her classmates seem no more than a distant memory. Have the kids at school matured? Perhaps it's Tomoko who's changed? Or maybe the joke's on Tomoko...?!

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 life as a social butterfly continues as the day of the Class Matchups arrives! This time, she’s participating in the Ping-Pong tournament and even going to see her classmates compete! Still, some things never change—after getting her midterm grades, Tomoko ends up catching a ride home from Yoshida on her motorcycle, which proves an irresistible opportunity for our handsy heroine...

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! With her friends Katou and Yuu helping her out, things are sure to go well…but even they can’t protect her from herself…!

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!

Tomoko’s come a long way from her lonely freshman days, but some things never change. More friends just mean more opportunites for uncomfortable moments and conversations, and Tomoko’s determined to take advantage of every last one! With college on the horizon, the popular life Tomoko always thought she’d have is finally hers…but can’t she get a moment to herself?!

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. Stalling for reference material, she goes with Yuu and Komi to visit the culture festival at Yuu’s school. Seeing some of the other students’ work gives her a bunch of ideas, but as she begins to deviate from her original plan, her friends start to lose confidence in their director…With no clear vision and a skeptical team around her, just what kind of film is Tomoko going to make?!

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. With a brand-new scenario in mind, she sets to work on the script once more, deciding the cast and roles, and before long, she’s ready to begin filming! 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…
