The school is hosting a beauty contest! Mona, Tomo, Tsubomi, Asahi, and Minami will all be taking part in it. As part of the contest, they will have to use their special skills to win over the judges and duke it out in swimsuits! In the final round, they will also have to do a fake love confession with the judges, and Medaka just happens to be one of them! Meanwhile, Tomo seems to be troubled about something…

The third volume, filled with heart-throbbing developments, has arrived! Now that the formidable kohai Asahi Shonan has joined the fray, Mona’s battle for Medaka’s heart has gotten a lot more heated! When Medaka had to stay home because of a cold, the two went to his apartment to check on him and even had a nursing battle over him! Before they knew it, it was time for Halloween, the perfect chance for them to show off how cute they can be! Just who will emerge victorious in this friendly(?) contest?

Mona is the cutest girl in school, and she knows it. In fact, she's worked hard to make her high school debut succcessful. Buf no matter what she does, she can't seem to catch the eye of stone-cold stoic Medaka Kuroiwa—but she's not about to give up that easy. Medaka, on the other hand, has been raised at a temple and was told to never become close to women. Who will win in this heated battle of wills?

Mona and her friends go to an amusement park as part of a welcome party for Tomo! Since her feelings toward Medaka are throwing her for a loop, Mona is off her game for the entire duration of the trip. She later gets separated from the group. As she laments about how terrible her day has been, the one who comes to her rescue is none other than Medaka himself! Will Mona finally realize what makes her heart race whenever he's around?!

Asahi suffers an injury while Medaka is watching her game! She is understandably depressed by this, but Medaka's kind words touch her heart, prompting her to confess her feelings for him! Tomo later invites Medaka to a concert, successfully securing her first date with him. Mona might be the ultimate queen bee, but she'd better not let her guard down!

Tomo finally reveals to Mona that she's fallen for Medaka! How will Mona react to this, and what will become of their friendship?! It is now winter, and Christmas, the big event for all couples, is fast approaching! The period before Christmas is just as eventful, however, with Mona asking Medaka to go on a Christmas date with her and holding a study session at her house to help him pass his exams! Not to mention that there's now a 3-way war to win his heart!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching! Asahi is pouring her heart into crafting the perfect present, and Tomo has also been aggressive with her moves. Mona herself is also cooking up a big plan for the day! What presents are they giving Medaka, and how are they going to hand them over?! Prepare for a volume packed with sweetness, literally and figuratively!
