And what is the deal with his big brother?

Meanwhile, confused and unsure, Shizuku decides to eliminate her feelings towards Haru so that she can concentrate on school. Will Haru be able to change her mind?

The New Year approaches bringing new chaos!

A BRAVE VENTURE Shizuku is now more determined than ever to make Haru aware of her love for him, but Haru is too preoccupied with fending off Yamaken to notice! Shizuku thinks Haru has nothing to worry about, but competitive above all, Yamaken has some plans of his own. Meanwhile, blossoming feelings turn the popular but romance-hating Natsume into a maiden in love?!

VALENTINE CHOCOLATE SHOWDOWN Valentine's Day, which is coincidentally Shizuku's birthday, fast approaches and the girls decide to cook up some truelove chocolates for the boys of their desire. A fun cooking party gets awkward and tense when Oshima-san and Shizuku confront the fact that they're both making chocolates for Haru! Will Oshima back down as she always does? Given Haru's obsession with Shizuku, will it even matter?

THE WILL TO WIN Shizuku's mother gives her advice about having it all, success in studies and success in love. All it takes is effort! But it's not only Shizuku who exerts the effort. Oshima reaffirms her love for Haru, and Natsume continues her hopeless assault on Mitchan's heart. And Yamaken struggles to overcome his own arrogance to make an earnest attempt at prying Shizuku away from Haru. So much effort from so many people, will anyone have the energy to actually be happy?
