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!!

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 second term of high school winds down, Tomoko Kuroki's life continues to be full of awesome...nothing. But ever the optimist, she pins her hopes on the possibilities that winter break will bring. Unfortunately, there's a cold breeze blowing in more ways than one, and Tomoko's in for a disappointment. Is she doomed to spend her theoretically monumental first year as an HSG without any friends at all?!

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!

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?!

It’s back to school one last time for Tomoko and friends, who have their final school festival to plan! Tomoko’s big idea is to make a movie, but there's only one problem—she’s too awkward to properly convey her idea to the class! Luckily, her friends are all too happy to help her rehearse, but for her film to work, she’ll need everyone to get on board—and even then, success is far from guaranteed! Will her motion picture be a hit with her fellow students, or will her grand idea make her class the laughingstock of the school?

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…
