With all the crazy characters in this book, I've come to dislike Fukuyama. I don't mind eccentric personalities, but he's just annoying. The collection of stories in this volume ranged vastly. I liked the last story, but could have done without all the fighting in the chapter before that.

First four pages are colored.

13. Yukinari and Miharu are about to enjoy a peaceful card game when Kirie and Fukuyama show up. Fukuyama brings with him a strip-MahJongg game which he claims his family's an expert at. After a few rounds of Kirie and Miharu having to disrobe and Yukinari having to wear a bunny suit, the three of them get the last laugh when Fukuyama loses and has to be a playboy bunny in public.

14. Lisa discovers Koyomi living with Yukinari and feels threatened that she's a new rival. Her two underlings, Hayate and Kosame, tell her that Koyomi has a fear of guys, so Lisa goes out and makes her the target of lustful men. When that fails, Lisa personally talks to Koyomi and introduces her to her brother, Fukuyama.

15. Yukinari is a bit worried about Miharu working, so Kirie gets the idea to dress him up as a girl so he can work alongside the two of them incognito and changing his name to 佐藤雪菜 (Yukina Satou). Their job involves entertaining kids, which isn't too bad until the men show up, including Fukuyama. The men take a particular liking to Yukina, but Fukuyama hordes Yukina to himself and doesn't find out that she's Yukinari until he starts feeling his body.

16. In going to Fukuyama's Christmas party at his house, Kirie sees a strange mirror and walks though it. On the other side, there's a parallel universe where the personalities are all switched. Fukuyama is the female-allergic, Koyomi has a crush on him, Yukinari horny one, and Lisa is in love with Kirie. After a few struggles, Kirie manages to escape that world.

17. Miharu feels like everyone is avoiding her, although they're just planning a surprise party in her name. When she doesn't show up, Yukinari goes out and finds her partying with Fukuyama to forget her sorry. He manages to convince her that she's not disliked, and even Lisa puts in a good word on this day.

18. The gang is celebrating Setsubun by the traditional throwing of beans to ward off evil spirits. However, things get out of hand when members start throwing each other out of the house.

19. A mysterious girl shows up looking for her mother and Koyomi helps her look. For some reason, the girl has a sense of urgency and says that she has to find her today. However, they stop after she finds a toppled over snowman. The next day, the girl disappears and Koyomi realizes that she might have been a snow-person herself.
