Nishikata struggles with the most important question of his life. Now, he must give Takagi his answer.

Nishikata receives Valentine’s Day chocolates, but they aren’t from Takagi. Something has now changed; something important.

A new year marks new beginnings and new promises. So when Takagi sees Nishikata and Hojo having a private conversation…

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.

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

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?

Both Takagi and Nishikata prepare for their class’ production of Romiya and Juliot. But how much of the play will be a performance, and how much of it will be real?

Some things never change, especially when green peppers are involved. The class puts on a play for the culture festival, but who will land the leading roles?

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

Takagi, of all people, is the one to discover something embarrassing about Nishikata.

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

Is it possible? Has Nishikata finally one-upped Takagi at long last?
