私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い!

Watashi ga Motenai no wa dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!

No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys' Fault I’m Not Popular!

Synopsis

Tomoko’s school is celebrating the Tanabata Festival, which disinterests her. Regardless, she goes to the courtyard to look at other people’s wishes. She notices a joke wish and decides to write one even more interesting than that one.

The next day, she visits the courtyard again, but stays hidden while other people check out the wishes. Two students end up reading her wish and she becomes overjoyed when she hears them say it’s funny.

Back in class, Tomoko spends her time brainstorming an even better joke wish. She comes up with a bunch of sexual metaphors about the two deities of the Tanabata Festival.

After school, Tomoko spots Kotomi hanging a wish and running away quickly. She reads it and hangs her joke wish next to Kotomi’s sincere one. She decides to hang a few more but gets interrupted by Megumi. Megumi asks her what she wished for and Tomoko becomes embarrassed. They chat for a bit and Tomoko becomes ashamed for putting up jokes while everyone else had been putting up serious wishes.

After Megumi leaves, Tomoko decides to take them down. She gets one down and hides it when Ogino shows up. Trying to be supportive, Ogino gets a ladder and makes Tomoko put her wish up really high where everyone can see it. Tomoko climbs all the way up and hangs it where no one will be able to see it, except the two star deities.
