In the aftermath of the onstage kissing incident, Tomoki is a little rattled, and Yoshida takes the opportunity to invite him out to talk about it. Meanwhile, the second day of the school festival begins, and Tomoko finds herself face-to-face with an infamous student from a previous school festival...

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 a middle schooler, Tomoko Kuroki dreamed of making her high school debut as the most popular girl in school. But all of her experience playing video game dating simulations may have backfired. Instead of preparing her for the real world, her gaming has kept her from it for so long that even the most mundane human interactions have become a stumbling block! How can she impress her classmates when she can't even speak to them?!

A face from Tomoko's past shows up at her high school...but Tomoko can't remember her middle school classmate Komiyama for the life of her! As if that's not bad enough, Komiyama holds a serious grudge against Tomoko, and there's no way she's gonna just let it go. On the grand stage of high school, these two lonely hearts wage war...on each other!

Now in her second year and second term of high school, Tomoko comes face to face with a new nightmare--the class trip! The first obstacle that awaits her is the dreaded "picking of groups," where an unexpected pitfall lurks...Then comes departure! Stuck with classmates she detests, will Tomoko be able to survive this fresh hell?!

Despite having made it to high school, her long-awaited promised land, poor Tomoko Kuroki continues to strike out with her peers and remains utterly, wretchedly unpopular. And before she knows it, the first school term is nearly at its end! Can Mokocchi manage to make at least some happy memories over the break? Plunge into one girl's summer of . . . agony!

Mokocchi's second semester of high school has only just begun, but already it's taken a turn for the worst, as the dreaded tradition of seat changing lands her smack-dab in the middle of the cool kids' action. As if dealing with their not-so-subtle barbs wasn't bad enough, this time in the school year is overflowing with social events, including the most notorious and legendary of them all: the cultural festival! How will poor Mokocchi survive?!

After an unforgiving and grueling introduction to high school, Tomoko's now finally a second-year. One with a tough, sports-crazed homeroom teacher, a somewhat friendly classmate, and a kid brother now stalking the halls of the same school with an even colder attitude toward his big sister... With all these things shaking up her high school life, will Tomoko be able to stick it out through her second year...?!

Tomoko plunges into her second summer vacation as a high school student. Though determined to do absolutely nothing to the best of her ability, she ends up getting dragged into a school event in the early days of her break... Later, Tomoko sees Kii-chan again for the first time in months. Can Tomoko triumph in a covert battle of wills against her little cousin...?

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!

As the dreaded class trip comes to an end, it leaves an unexpected boon in its wake-Tomoko has gotten juuust a bit more capable of conversing with her classmates! But never fear! The trials of an antisocial butterfly are unending, and Tomoko now has a new hurdle to tackle: the sports festival! Forced to take part in events that require actually talking to people, her newfound social skills are put to the test...but youthful enthusiasm and passion are the farthest things from Tomoko's mind...

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…

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…

The last culture festival of Tomoko’s high school life finally begins! She’s been busy editing her movie up until the day before, but it’s finished at last!! Though Tomoko is nervous, she gets up on stage and greets the audience…and then, her movie is put up on the big screen! With her direction and script, Tomoko Kuroki’s film is finally revealed!!
