If a girl teases you, that means she likes you! Unfortunately, Akiteru knows from experience that isn’t the case. Because every girl he interacts with shows him nothing but scorn, and he’s not scored a single date from it! Luckily, he’s more concerned with securing a spot for him and his game-development buddies at his uncle’s business. But when his uncle throws him a condition that involves playing the part of his daughter’s boyfriend, Akiteru has no choice but to take it. What will his best friend’s sister Iroha, who bullies him relentlessly, think of the news?

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, Mashiro’s more concerned about deepening her (fake) relationship with Akiteru! Too bad her plans are thrown into disarray when it turns out there’s 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 Akiteru—but will that be enough to satisfy her? With trouble like this brewing, the class’s “relaxing” trip to the hot springs will be anything but!

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 freedom—but 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?

With the summer festival behind them, it’s time for Akiteru to get back to finding Iroha a friend! But nothing ever goes according to plan. What’s he to do when his friend’s little sister doesn’t seem to have it in for him anymore? How can he find her a friend she can be annoying with when she doesn’t want to be annoying anymore? When Akiteru tries to talk some sense into her, she instead talks him into competing at the school’s culture festival for the title of...Queen Nevermore?! It’s 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...?

Akiteru's intent on living life as efficiently as possible. Ever since Mashiro's shock revelation, up's become down and nothing's as it seems! His friend's little sister went from Annoying with capital A to Sweet with capital S?! Mashiro's grown even colder than before, and he didn’t even think that was possible! His group's script writer's suddenly swapped genres, and even Murasaki Shikibu is sticking to deadlines! What's it all mean?! And how's Akiteru supposed to stick to being efficient when nothing makes sense anymore?

It's time for the biggest event of any high school career: the class trip! With Iroha out of the way, Mashiro's more determined than ever to deepen her (fake) relationship with Akiteru. Sucks for Mashiro, though--a third girl is now vying for Akiteru's affection! And Iroha's launched into a long-distance offensive to pester him, but will that be enough for her? With so much trouble brewing, this "relaxing" trip to the hot springs will be anything but!

With the culture festival behind them, it’s 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, there’ll 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?
