(W/A/CA) Wataru Watari
A new year brings with it new relationships-and new feelings. During a relaxed winter break, Hachiman runs into Yukino and Hayato while he's running errands for the new year and realizes he may know less than he thought. And when school returns, a new request comes to the Service Club amid rumors circulating in the class... For readers ages 13 and up.
Hachiman's winter break may have been short, but between Komachi's entrance exam worries, Iroha's selfish antics, and a request from the boys, he's still had plenty to do!
At Iroha Isshiki's request, the Service Club is now helping with a Valentine's Day event. Once Miura, Ebina, and Kawasaki are all involved, it spirals into a surprisingly major undertaking. But despite the relative calm, there's a sense of dissonance that's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore-and feelings that can't be rationalized away.

At long last, spring is here again. Although the routine is much the same, each day is always new. After all the hardships, struggles, and mistakes, all they can do is ask the same question as always and search for new answers. Hachiman has struggled to answer that question truthfully, and his relationships have suffered for it-but it's time for that to change. This romantic comedy has gone wrong enough times. The story may be coming to an end, but youth lives on.
