Months pass and Tina still hasn’t returned from America. Kaoru and Aoi, the two closest to her, comfort each other at one of Tina’s favorite spots. Their long kept secret may be discovered before they can recover from a happy surprise!

Tina’s going back to America for a homecoming party. She gets a digital camera and has everyone don costumes for a photo shoot. Her love for everyone, especially for Kaoru, forms a smile on her face to hide a sorrow she can’t reveal before she slips away.

The whole gang, Chika’s friends, and yes, Mayu too, enjoy the luxuries of a spa resort. Taeko takes a break with a few drinks, Miyabi gets a massage, and Tina and Aoi try out a private bath—the same one Kaoru got in just a few minutes before!

Kaoru’s graduate professor rewards him for his dutiful work with two tickets for a cruise. After receiving Miyabi’s blessing, Kaoru and Aoi cherish the time alone without the usual worrying over possible interruption.

Chika and her two friends are the only known members of their high school’s swim club. The district’s swimming competition is approaching, but Chizuru still can’t finish a lap. Tina offers to coach them and splashes in some trademark mischief.

A hard-earned get-away calls Kaoru and his flock to a resort in the mountains, where Mayu just happens to be nearby at her family’s vacation home. A game much like truth or dare gets interesting—especially when Aoi is asked some personal questions.

Kaoru’s got to pull an all-nighter to finish a big report, or else he’ll be writing more all summer long. Graduate studies are demanding, but so are four admiring girls all trying to ease his stress.

Mayu audaciously asks Kaoru on a date in front of the entire household. Since his engagement to Aoi is still a secret, he fails to decline. Stunningly dressed but ill-prepared, Mayu reveals her one passion to Kaoru in response to his sensitive request.

Mysterious noises spook the mansion’s residents. Taeko, the authority on ghostly matters, leads the attempted exorcism through a dusty attic. Mayu finds it prudent to sneak into Kaoru’s bed for a cuddle, resulting in a heap of hilarious frights.

The game is on when Miyabi volunteers to teach Chika how to play tennis. Kaoru and the rest of the girls come along for some friendly matches. Kaoru tries his best to focus in between glances at Aoi’s impressive form in her endearing tennis attire.

Chika’s high school friends Chizuru and Natsuki get the impression that Kaoru’s her live-in boyfriend—she relishes the thought and replies to inquiries vaguely. The girls’ insist on satisfaction, resulting in a raucous and embarrassing house visit!

It’s been two eventful years since that fateful day Aoi and Kaoru were reunited. He takes a break from his graduate classes, and the clandestine lovebirds celebrate their anniversary filled with memories and fantasies of the future.

Aoi and Miyabi take a trip to a memorial service and Taeko is required for a photo shoot. How will a stormy night alone result for Tina and Kaoru?

Tina brings home a pet ferret and the house is soon full of excitement. Miyabi immediately disapproves of the troublesome pet though she may not be completely incapable of compassion.

Aoi is useful everywhere she goes. She saves the day for the photo club at a hot springs vacation. An improbable challenge for Taeko sends her off searching for spirits.

Taeko comes to the Sakuraba house looking for a job as housekeeper. She serves to be extremely clumsy much to Miyabi’s chagrin. Tina, Kaoru and Aoi team up to help Taeko keep her job.

Old photo club buddy Tina has returned from adventures abroad, and she shares a special souvenir with a side of mischief. She’s also in the market for a place to live, and suspiciously makes it home with Kaoru.
