Mashiro has just shared a devastating secret with Sumire. Aki and Iroha have been forced through a ceremony that historically guarantees the participants will be married. Meanwhile, Sumire is on the brink of freedomâbut just what will she choose to do with it? With the Alliance being pulled in all directions, will it even last the summer, or will it sink down into the depths of the ocean?
Summer vacation. For any high schooler, a time to let loose and have some fun! But for unfortunate Akiteru, it just means stress, stress, and even more stress! As if his fake relationship with Mashiro wasnât enough, Sumireâs dropped a tremendous bombshell on him. Irohaâs back in force with a teasing vengeance, and now Midoriâs acting mighty suspect too. Will Akiteru make it through the summer with his sanity intact? Or will the complex web of relationships finally spell his doom?
If a girl teases you, that means she likes you! Unfortunately, Akiteru knows from experience that isnât the case. Because every girl he interacts with shows him nothing but scorn, and heâs not scored a single date from it! Luckily, heâs more concerned with securing a spot for him and his game-development buddies at his uncleâs business. But when his uncle throws him a condition that involves playing the part of his daughterâs boyfriend, Akiteru has no choice but to take it. What will his best friendâs sister Iroha, who bullies him relentlessly, think of the news?
The first time Akiteru met his friend’s little sister, Iroha, she was soft-spoken, with a diligent air about her. So when he heard she was interested in joining a gang—one led by none other than Otoi—he began to suspect there was more to Iroha than met the eye. When he intervened, things only got more complicated. And in the end, Akiteru formed bonds with unlikely friends for years to come. It’s finally time to unravel the secrets of the Alliance’s past! How did Akiteru come to form the 05th Floor Alliance, and why did Iroha decide to make him the victim of her teasing?
The Alliance is caught in a maelstrom of trouble as secrets are covered and uncovered everywhere you look! Unaware of this spiral of secrecy, Akiteruâs started seeing Iroha in a new light... And just his luck, his uncle shows up to make sure Akiteru sticks to playing the role of Mashiroâs fake boyfriend! Akiteruâs got no choice but to set up a (fake) date for the summer festival. Will someone like Iroha really sit back and just watch? Whatâll become of the Alliance in this perfect storm of trouble? And...just who will Akiteru wind up watching the fireworks with?
The biggest event of your high school career has to be the class trip! Akiteru and his classmates are off to Kyoto to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture. But with Iroha out of the way, Mashiroâs more concerned about deepening her (fake) relationship with Akiteru! Too bad her plans are thrown into disarray when it turns out thereâs a third girl vying for his affection. While Mashiro tries to come to terms with this new development, Iroha goes on a long-distance offensive to annoy Akiteruâbut will that be enough to satisfy her? With trouble like this brewing, the classâs ârelaxingâ trip to the hot springs will be anything but!
With the summer festival behind them, itâs time for Akiteru to get back to finding Iroha a friend! But nothing ever goes according to plan. Whatâs he to do when his friendâs little sister doesnât seem to have it in for him anymore? How can he find her a friend she can be annoying with when she doesnât want to be annoying anymore? When Akiteru tries to talk some sense into her, she instead talks him into competing at the schoolâs culture festival for the title of...Queen Nevermore?! Itâs now up to Akiteru to defy the odds and become the prettiest girl at school! But will that really help Iroha get back to her usual (annoyingly cute) self...?
Then: Kunugi Kou waged bloody warfare as a hero in another world. Now: Heâs a perfectly average high-schooler with a perfectly exceptional best friend: Ayase Kaito. The living incarnation of every cheesy romcom protagonist ever written, Kaitoâs charming personality and looks that could kill have earned himself the harem of quirky beauties that every protagonist deservesâand Kou is dead-set on supporting him from the shadows as the ultimate wingman extra! And itâs all going greatâthat is, until a wrench is thrown into the works in the form of another romcom staple: the protagonistâs little sister, Ayase Hikari, who meets Kou under the most outlandish of circumstances possible. Even worse, it kinda sorta just maybe seems like she might have a thing for him? Now itâs up to the worldâs most âextraâ extra to crawl his way back into the obscurity he longs for!
With the culture festival behind them, itâs finally time for some rest and relaxation! Or it would be, were it not for the two-mom tag team ambush being sprung on Akiteru. With both mothers keen on interrogating Akiteru about his relationship with their daughters, thereâll be no time for relaxing at all! While Aki deals with them and tries to figure out what happened between his aunt and uncle, a battle rages on behind the screens as Mashiro and Iroha compete for his affections. Will things come to a head on the upcoming field trip, or does more disaster await?
When Saki called Yuuta "Big Brother," it looked to everyone else like their relationship had taken a big step forward. In reality, it was more like a line drawn in the sand. As their hidden feelings make time spent together increasingly awkward, the two of them explore new relationships and weigh their priorities. Are some things worth holding onto despite the sacrifice, or is it time to let go and move on?
