Kuronuma Sawako is often misunderstood and feared by others for resembling a horror movie character. She enters her new high school hoping that she can make new friends. Her chance comes when she volunteers to be a ghost for a school activity.

The rumor-mongers are outed and confronted when they decide to move against Sawako. Sawako learns who her true friends are.

New rumors are circulating! Apparently, making Sawako laugh gives you good luck! Kazehaya's old friend Kurumi begins to get involved in things. Sawako and Kazehaya grow closer.

During a school event, Sawako finds a mysterious note in her shoe locker. Apparently, Ryuu has something to admit to her. Kurumi and Kazehaya intervene with the worst possible timing for Sawako...

The girls confront Kurumi, who has done everything in her power to pull Kazehaya away from Sawako and toward herself. Despite admitting to it all, Sawako forgives Kurumi and continues to treat her like a friend.

Sawako joins Chizuru on a shopping trip where Chizuru buys an out-of-character feminine outfit. When asked, she talks about the boy she likes. Sawako, thinking it is Ryuu, gives her some advice. But the truth is a bit more complicated...

Both Sawako and Ayane are at a loss. How can they console their friend? Kazehaya says that doing nothing is the best thing, but is he right? How can Ryuu and Chizuru make up after such a bitter argument?

Tooru returns, and he wants to speak with Chizuru. He takes her on a long walk, past places they both remember from their youth, and he makes certain she is all right with his decision before leaving. Ryuu finds her at just the right time.

The date continues at the shrine. Sawako and Kazehaya begin to tell one another about their past, about themselves, and about many other things. After their first year of knowing one another, Sawako is certain what she feels is love.

Support comes in unexpected forms, as both Kento and Kurumi give advice to Sawako and Kazehaya. It spurs Sawako on to take action. As she runs to find her crush, all she can think about is finally letting her feelings out.

Sawako feels like Kazehaya is keeping his distance. After connecting with Ryu on the trip, Chizu tells her friends about her memories with him.

After his teacher gives him some advice, Kazehaya finally talks to Sawako on their way home. The next day, everyone gathers at Sawako's house.
