With Valentine's Day upon them, Nishikata tries to hide the fact that he's hoping to get some chocolate from Takagi, but she sees right through him.

It's Nishikata's birthday! While on his way to buy his own cake for some reason, he runs into Takagi.

When Nishikata and Takagi go to the snack shop hungry, they end up buying more than they planned. Then, their classmate shows up.

Nishikata and Takagi are mistaken for a couple on their way to the summer festival. Nishikata can't deny it fast enough, but then they get separated.

Sometimes, there isn’t any need for words. Other times, there are. And every so often, a relationship grows closer despite the teasing.

Takagi finally admits defeat, but Nishikata cannot accept victory. Not when he has the chance to beat her at her own game!

Nishikata knows that he and Tagaki often spend time together and worries their classmates will mistake them for a couple. Who is he trying to convince?

Legend has it that a boy and a girl will start dating if they visit the local shrine together.

Nishikata realizes that if he doesn’t do something soon, he will have lost to Takagi for an entire year. However, in matters of the heart, perhaps he’s already won.
