Another $1 book from Book-off. I'm still not that impressed with this series, sure the story are nice, but they lack impact. I'm still not accustomed to the artwork, however, I did take a sneak peak at volume 8 (I needed to know if there were only 8 volumes), and the artwork there looked a lot more like what I'm used to from Ken Akamatsu. So I expect the artwork to get better.

There's a color page and some bonus pages with detailed sketches of the art used in the original release. My lucky number, located on the book cover, is 11160.

8. ハッピーorアンハッピーBirthday (Happy or Unhappy Birthday): Hitoshi's birthday is coming and he is looking forward to sharing the day with Thirty. However, Thirty doesn't seem to notice for most of time on his birthday. Hitoshi mopes, but Thirty comes through and acknowledges the day.

9. 憧れの美食ライフ (A Desired Delectable Life): Being a little fed up with Thirty's inability to cook, Hitoshi sends her to get some training in the culinary arts. After some effort, she can finally make curry that actually taste decent.

10. 嵐を呼ぶ少女 (A Girl Who Summons a Storm): A storm's been giving Thirty abnormal hair growth. As she's flipping through Hitoshi's albums and sketchy books, a floppy disk falls out in which he has labeled forbidden. Despite that, he sticks it into his computer. Storm causes power outages and surges, and just like how Thirty came into being, the program on the disc, Twenty, comes to life.

11. お姉さまはイケイケ娘 (Sister is a Bitchy Girl): Twenty was a previous program Hitoshi created, one whose body is perfect. However, like Thirty, she isn't too bright. In an attempt to repair the leaks in the house, she causes more problems than she fixes.

12. プールサイドでなげキッス (A Thrown Kiss by the Pool): It's opening day at the pool so Hitoshi and his two numbered girls head out. Twenty tries to seduce Hitoshi by pretending to drown, but Thirty is the one who jumps in. She herself gets in trouble (for real) and Hitoshi saves her. Twenty then tells Thirty that Hitoshi has already asked her to be the girlfriend.

13. 恋のトライアングル (Love Triangle): Thirty, feeling like she's not good enough, tries to make herself as pretty as Twenty in an attempt to reclaim Hitoshi. However, Hitoshi tells her that he likes her the way she is. Twenty then abducts Hitoshi.

13. サーティVSトゥエニー (Thirty vs. Twenty): Twenty takes him to an amusement park (it's nighttime, but she turns everything on). Thirty finds them there and while riding the rollercoaster, they get in a predicament where Hitoshi is hanging off the rails with one girl in each hand. He has to decide who to save. Thirty voluntarily lets go, but Twenty prevents her from falling.

14. Mountain Happening: The three of them decide to go to the mountains to watch a meteor shower. They meet Kimika there who doesn't get along with Twenty at all. Some hilarity ensues when Twenty takes advantage of Kimika's family's summer house.

15. 星に願いを！ (Wish on a Star): Kimika has a van-full of equipment to properly view the heavens and take the best picture for the astrophotography contest. Hitoshi only has a telescope. Through of sabotage by Twenty and calculations by Thirty, Hitoshi is able to take the best picture in the competition.
