Full steam ahead toward prom! The Soubu High School Prom is at a standstill now that Yukino's mother is on the scene. Seeing how much Yukino and Iroha want to hold the event, Hachiman plans a separate prom of his own-a move that'll inevitably lead to conflict with both girls, and will require asking for help from others. Yui has a question for Hachiman: Just what is he thinking....?

The problems keep piling up, but Hachiman keeps taking on task after task by himself! What's going to happen to the relationship between Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino from here? Age 13 and up.
(W) Wataru Watari (A) Ponkan 8
Nothing ever changes. No friends, no girlfriends - nothing but a solitary life at school. So why is Hachiman so uncomfortable? Maybe it's the fact that their club room is one girl short. There's no way Yukino and Hachiman can solve the problems born from this chain of misunderstandings. The bittersweet time with Totsuka, preparing for battle with Zaimokuza, a secret side of Ms. Hiratsuka... and strip poker? Surrounded by characters sprinting headlong in the wrong direction, will the club ever return to normal?

Not only that, but Totsuka has an invitation for him, as well as a request from a classmate--he even runs into Yukino's sister at the fireworks festival! Hachiman is determined not to get close to anyone or have any expectations, but even this stubborn loner can't ignore the changes occurring in his relationships with Yukino and Yui...

The class trip-an event rife with potential for love and trauma. The excitement builds as the big trip to Tokyo approaches-for most of the class.

But then, before they leave, an unexpected visitor to the Service Club comes with a request for romantic advice that creates even more complications...
(W/A/CA) Wataru Watari
The school trip has finally ended, albeit with some lingering awkwardness, and life has returned to normal (more or less) for the Service Club.

Ages 13 And Up, Grades 8 to 17

Christmas is almost here, but everything Hachiman has wanted, everything he might have wished for, is gone. Ever since the student council elections, the Service Club hasn't been the same, and the members only drag themselves to the club room out of obligation.

(W/A) Wataru Watari
