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

This chapter presents a different perspective from the previous graduation ceremony chapters. Tomoki observes Yoshida dragging his sister to Megumi Imae and wonders if his sister is being bullied. Like his sister, Tomoki views Yoshida as a "delinquent." Yoshida notices him starring at her and angrily demands to know what he is looking at. He denies starring, but she refuses to believe him and storms off.  As Yoshida walks away, Tomoki wonders how she even knows his sister.

Tomoki then turns back to see Megumi hugging his sister. He recognizes Megumi as the valedictorian and wonders if she also knows his sister.

Uchi stares at Tomoko as she is hugged by Megumi.

He then notices Uchi seething over Megumi hugging Tomoko as she hides behind a tree trunk. Inwardly, she accuses Tomoko of "making a pass" at a graduate and says out loud "Absolutely disgusting!" Both notice one another. Uchi returns to staring at Tomoko and repeating "disgusting," while Tomoki wonders if "this girl" also knows his sister. Thinking of Kotomi, Tomoki figures that all of the girls who know his sister "are weirdos," save for the upperclasswoman hugging her who "seems normal enough." Yuri and Mako walk past him talking about how Tomoko seems to know the former student council president.

Tomoki and Yuri notice one another.

As they pass, Yuri and Tomoki both notice one another. When Mako asks Yuri if anything is wrong, Yuri dismisses it. 

As Tomoki continues to walk past happy graduates, he muses that when she first entered high school, Tomoko kept barging into his room since she had no one to talk to, but she now seems to have friends. It has been two years, he notes, so she would have to change a little.

A wide-eyed and excited Tomoko sits in his room babbling that his sempai asked her to pin her corsage to him and wondering if he said anything about her. He concludes that some things never change. The side narration reads: "A sister never stops being annoying!"
