No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys' Fault I’m Not Popular!
Synopsis
This chapter is split into 6 short stories, with 4 focusing on Tomoko.
Intimacy

"May your best intentions go justly punished, Yuri."
A New Light
Itō and Kotomi talk in the music room. Looking through Itō's music, Kotomi excitedly sees the music from a favorite anime. When Itō plays them for her, including songs used by the Chiba Lotte Marines, a starry-eyed Kotomi asks that they remain friends for life. Itō observes that, despite the fact they have been friend for two years, it is "weird" that the fact she can play anime songs used by the Lotte Marines made Kotomi see her "in a new light."

Together
Akane stops Hina to tell her she had a peek at the next year's class assignments in the teacher's office which put them both in the same class again. As for Yoshinori Kiyota, she only saw the list for the girls. Hina inwardly wonders if Tomoko will also be in the same class, but she feels she will appear strange if she asks Akane. Akane does reveal that Ogino will be their homeroom teacher again.
Pro
Hina receives compliments for her impersonation of another student and teacher from Akane and Yoshinori. She then does an impersonation of Tomoko. Yoshinori finds it perfect. Uchi surprises Akane when she suddenly sees her standing next to her. Uchi then corrects Hina's impersonation in minute detail while admitting that Tomoko's "creepiness" contains a "strange charm."
She Remembers
Hina confesses to Tomoko that she imitated her earlier. Asuka insists she demonstrate it, and Hina imitates Tomoko offering a "fist-bump" from their enterance exam. Tomoko recognizes the incident, but she has no idea how Hina would know about it.
