1. 緊急指命「めしどこか　たのむ」 (Urgent Request "Please, A Place to Eat")
Our hero, a Akihabara otaku known only as Train Man, helps a bunch of women in the subway one night when he stood up against a drunk. After the police come and settle everything, a few of them ask for his address. One of them sends him a pair of tea cups, which he finds out from members on the forum is a brand name, Hermes, which eventually becomes the name of the girl in the story. He eventually sets up a date with her and during the conversation, he asks forum members for a restaurant recommendation. They decide to dress up for their dinner (which is a little problem for our hero because he's an otaku and has no sense of fashion).

2. 「ちゃんと掴んでますから」 (I'm Holding On To You)
On their date, as they're walking to the restaurant, they have to walk through a crowd of people. With his comment about the population, she says that it's okay because she's holding on to him and does just that. He startled when a female actually touches him and she lets go. To his dismay, they don't touch for the rest of the night. They set up a second dinner, this time, a friend of Hermes wants to come too.

3. 彼女はそっと俺の手を引く (The Girl Gently Tugs My Hand)
They go on a third date. A few hours before they meet, he gets a proper haircut and hangs out in Akihabara. A clerk tells him that he doesn't look like someone who frequents that part of town. After their meal, they have some drinks. As she's about to get off at her exit on the subway, she unexpectedly tugs on him and asks if he can walk her home from the station.

4. このカップを使う時が来た (The Time to Use These Cups Have Come)
The next time they meet, she invites him to her house when her parents are away and asks him to bring the two cups she had given him. There, she serves him some tea which he later learns from forum members that it's of pretty good quality. She also asks him on some advice for a buying a new computer.

5. 「あんまりその気にさせないでください」 ("Please Don't Make Me Worry")
Hermes will be away for a few days during Golden Week, so they plan to meet after that. In the meantime, Hermes is giving hints that she's single. Many of the forum members are urging Train Man to formally ask her to be his girlfriend.

6. 奇跡の最終章 (The Miraculous Last Chapter)
When Train Man and Hermes meet again, he takes her to buy a computer. She's driving a car. They have meals and he suggests that they go to a park. They find a bench and he gets up, about to say it. Hermes sense his nervousness and tells him "you can do it!" He then confesses that he loves her. She has reciprocal feelings. People on the forum go crazy and congratulate him.

Epilogue. 「こんなに頑張ってたんだ」 ("You Tried So Hard")
A few weeks later, Train Man reports that he showed Hermes, his girlfriend now, the entire forum logs from when he first met her on the train.
