The only person without much action this time is Yui, unfortunately. She may be a brat, but I always remember Mizuki Nana's performance whenever I read her dialogues. I think Satsuki claimed victory in this volume.

Bonus includes a few pages of Ichigo 8~9% parody.

108. 天地覚醒 (Amachi's Awakening): Much to the grief of the other girls at school, Amachi has decided on resigning his position as the popular guy at school so that he can focus on Aya. In a conversation with her, Amachi reveals that he knows that she likes Junpei, but will try to win her love regardless.

109. 二つの予言 (The Couple's Prophecy): Aya is pretty confused now with her love life and shows her confusion as she fumbles things around in class. To Junpei's surprise, she waits for Amachi before walking together to cram school. Amachi tells her that he'll make sure that she'll grow to love him. Before cram class, the male-phobic Kozue gleeful tells Junpei about the movie he let her borrow. She gets bumped into Junpei by a rude classmate and Amachi and Aya see the two of them embrace.

110. 恋の共同戦線 (The Battle Line of Love): Satsuki takes Amachi into the guy's bathroom and asks him how he won over Aya's heart as she wants to do the same with Junpei. Amachi tells her that he was just honest and that he'll help her out in winning over Junpei if she lets her be with Aya. Tsukasa comes over to Junpei's place to drop off a cake, but since he's at cram school, his mother invites her in to wait until he comes back. Before cram class, Aya, Kozue and a mutual friend are eating burgers when the friend tells Kozue to date Junpei since Aya is dating Amachi. Aya jumps in saying that she actually...

111. SLEEPLESS NIGHT: As they're walking to class, Aya asks Kozue if she likes Junpei. Kozue doesn't know, but feels comfortable talking to him which reminds Aya of when she first met him. They bump into Junpei and in class, Kozue starts fantasizing, which gets Junpei to start fantasizing. Junpei goes back later than usual and finds Tsukasa sleeping in his bed.

112. 寝顔GIVE&TAKE (Sleepy Face Give & Take): He struggles with what to do and when he hears his mother's footsteps, he quickly jumps into bed to hide. In her sleep, Tsukasa gets cuddly with him causing him much grief. He ends up sleeping on the floor and when he wakes, Tsukasa's already gone. He meets up with her later on and she tells him that she was happy to be able to see him sleeping face. At work though, the owner of the dessert shop Tsukasa works at asks her to marry her grandson, Ryuichi.

113. DISTANT VOICES: The owner has Tsukasa start thinking about marriage. At cram school, Aya arrives wearing her big glasses and has her hair tied back, with the intention of scaring off Amachi. However, Amachi recognizes her and treats her the same, much to her surprise and disappointment. Satsuki is determined to reel in Junpei and calls him up for a date the next day.

114. 誓いの言葉 (Words of Oath): Satsuki and Junpei have a date and she gets him behind the bushes in the park and strips down to her underwear. But then she has second thoughts and takes him to a church where she prays that even though she can't be his girlfriend, she wants to be one of his best friends.

115. RAINYみえすぎて (Seeing Much Rainy): At PE, everyone is outside playing when some drizzle starts. The coach tells them to continue even though the girls's shirts are becoming transparent. Amachi, in a heroic fashion, tells the girls to go inside. He tries to take Aya in, but loses her in the crowd. Aya ends up with Junpei in an empty locker room where they remember the last time they were alone together in the same situation and had to disrobe to dry their clothing.

116. あの娘のスキャンダル (That Girl's Scandal): Word has gotten out that the lovely worker at the dessert shop is going to get married and her fans start protesting outside the shop and her school. She has to yell at them to get them to disperse. After school, some sketchy guys try to hit on Tsukasa. Yui sees and tries to help, but she's too small. Yui calls Junpei on the cell phone for help, but then Tsukasa's potential future husband shows up.
