Scenes[]
April Fools Day (エイプリルフール )[]
On April Fools' Day, Nishikata tries to prank Takagi by taking her to a candy store that he said had a special sale when there really wasn't, though it turns out it is indeed having one. Inside, Takagi urges him to try a grass-based candy; repulsed by its appearance, he considers lying about its taste to get her to also eat it, but realizes he actually enjoys it. After further efforts to trick her fail, Takagi tells him the upcoming school year may result in classes being shuffled, to his shock until she reveals it only applies to the third-year students.
Blossom Watching (お花見)[]
With the new school year arriving, Mina tries to diet to emulate the slim bodies of models and television stars. However, when Takagi and Nishikata arrive with candy, she quickly abandons her regimen.
Forms of Address (呼び方 )[]
A week after starting their first year, Sanae begins addressing Kimura without an honorific, an act he finds intimidating as they aren't close. Nishikata tries to take advantage of this by dropping "-san" from Takagi's name, but panics when she questions him and re-adds it. In response, Takagi, who had been calling him Nishikata-kun, decides to remove the suffix.
New School Year (進級)[]
Now a second-year, Nishikata once again attempts to drop Takagi's honorific, but unintentionally says it anyway, causing him to think about what he just said. He tries to copy the upperclassman role in 100% Unrequited Love, which prompts Takagi to address him as Nishikata-senpai, which makes him very flustered that he blushes. In the midst of their chat, Nishikata then shouts very loudly to tell her to stop, but Takagi stills addresses him as Nishikata-senpai, which causes him to blush even more. He then tells Takagi to stop doing it again, and this time he actually dropped the "-san". Nishikata then apologizes to her for no reason at all. Takagi then asks if he could say her name again without the "-san". He then proceeds, even though he stammers a bit due to embarrassment. Literally a second after saying her name, he says "-san". Embarrassed by this and struggling to behave like the upperclassman, Nishikata gives up. Takagi then bursts out laughing, and says that Nishikata is still very funny even in their second year.
