So the story progresses, much as I remember from the anime. I could never remember the names of Tsubasa's three friends when I was watching the show. Hopefully my memory for Japanese names has improved since then.

There's a bonus one-shot manga from 1993-ish involving aliens and spaceships. Very strange for it to be included in a manga like this. Like before, there's also letters and some 4 panel comics.

13. ACT13 たたかう女(2) (Fighting Girl 2): In addition to Maho and a class that's giving her the silent treatment, a new girl shows up at school in class "D." Her name is 芝姫つばさ (Tsubasa Shibahime). She's very cute, but is also very evil towards Yukino as she also has a crush on Arima. Yukino finds out that Tsubasa has been in the hospital for a long time and has finally been discharged. Despite having been caught bullying Yukino, Tsubasa continues. Her 3 friends apologize for her and quickly befriend Yukino. Maho sees that Yukino is coming in favor with her schoolmates and isn't happy about it.

14. ACT14 たたかう女(2) (Fighting Girl 3): It's becoming apparent to both her teacher and Arima that there's something strange going on with Yukino and her classmates. Yukino insists that she resolve the issue herself. Again, Tsubasa attacks Yukino, but Yukino is a bit too fast for her. Tsubasa's three friends properly introduce themselves; 佐倉椿 (Tsubaki Sakura), 瀬奈りか (Rika Sena), and 沢田亜弥 (Aya Sawada). Yukino has her confrontation with Maho and gets slapped. Yukino now knows that she has the winning hand.

15. ACT15 たたかう女(2) (Fighting Girl 4): The classmates are slowly realizing that they've been used by Maho. Meanwhile, Arima dropped his id wallet with Yukino's picture in it. Tsubasa finds this and throws the picture in the incinerator waiting to be burned. Yukino finds out about this and goes on a rampage after Tsubasa. Tsubasa finally explains her true feelings for Arima and how he never responded to her come-ons in the past. After this incident, Tsubasa and Yukino are on a little better terms and the class apologizes for ignoring her. Yukino also makes Maho a friend.

16. ACT16 一学期の終わりに (At the End of First Semester): It's the start of summer vacation and Yukino is looking forward to spending her first vacation with a boyfriend. She has various ideas of what she wants to do together, but unfortunately, Arima has an inter-high school kendo competition that he has to go train for so he can't be with her until after the tournament.
