The volume spent an awful lot of pages on just a little conference with the teacher. I guess it's important, but it kinda dragged on and on. Meanwhile, Maho is introduced, which signals the part in the anime where it started going downhill. It looks pretty similar right now, but I hope the degradation was because the anime veered away from the manga.

Bonus includes letters and some 4 panel comics.

4. ACT8 カミナリ鳴って（１） (The Thunder Sounds, 1): In the exams, Arima has dropped to #3 but Yukino suffers a bigger drop, all the way down to #13 in her class. Because of their sudden shortcomings, the teacher calls both of them into the office to let them know that they shouldn't date as it looks like it's affecting their grades.

5. ACT9 カミナリ鳴って（２） (The Thunder Sounds, 2): During the conference, the teacher tells them that they should date when they're in college. Right now, it's too much of a risk. Arima assures him that they'll do better next time. However, the teacher is quite persistent and calls a parent-teacher meeting.

6. ACT10 カミナリ鳴って（３） (The Thunder Sounds, 3): The Arima Family and the Miyazawa Family meet at school. The teacher repeats the same thing. Yukino's father tells him that he doesn't mind Yukino's actions as she's been independent all her life. The same goes with Arima's parents.

7. ACT11 その日、宮沢雪野は (On That Day, Yukino Miyazawa...): Arima has the house all to himself, or so Yukino thinks, and they arrange a study session. Asaba is there initially, but he gets kicked out pretty soon. In the house, after some studying, they're alone and Arima shows Yukino how much he loves her and gives her a kiss.

8. ACT12 たたかう女 (Fighting Girl): One of the girls in class, 真帆 (Maho), makes the girls second doubt Yukino. She makes them turn against her by making them realize that Yukino is occupying two of the most popular guys in class. While Yukino at first bears this, she resolves to settle the score, even if it means not playing nice.
