It is now the third semester, and after another seating change, Sawako makes friends with the new people sitting close to her, but can't help but feel lonely that Kazehaya is sitting further away from her. The day before Valentine's Day, she makes handmade chocolate for her friends. When it comes to Kazehaya's chocolate, she notices that she has unknowingly favored him among everyone else and becomes very self-conscious. She manages to give everyone their chocolate the next day but still hesitates when it comes to giving Kazehaya his. Various events throughout the day prevent her from giving it to him, such as his acceptance of "Gratitude" chocolate and his rejection of "Love" chocolate. Sawako finally makes up her mind to give it to him after school, but is interrupted by Kurumi, who gives him his "first and last" chocolate from her. Kurumi notices Sawako eavesdropping and tells her that Kazehaya doesn't accept 'love' chocolate, but if it was a 'gratitude' chocolate, he would probably accept it gladly. She calls herself 'a special circumstance' because she had already been rejected by him. Sawako ends up not being able to give Kazehaya the chocolate, as she thinks that her chocolates are too serious to be considered 'love' chocolates. As Kazehaya walks out of school, thinking that he had really hoped on getting something from Sawako. At the end of the episode, a new character, Miura Kento, makes his appearance.

Ever since Valentine's Day, a palpable rift has formed between Sawako and Kazehaya. Neither seem entirely sure why it is there, but they have trouble communicating as openly as they had been. Ayane and Chizuru try to intervene, but...

Kazehaya confides in Ryuu, while a new boy in class begins to flirt openly with Sawako. Realizing that such a pretty girl could get scooped up by another boy, Kazehaya tries to confront her as well as Kento.

Sawako's friends have words with Kazehaya, who seems to be making every wrong move. He is told that he is the "farthest away" from Sawako, and that he should lay off her or else other girls will grow jealous. Ayane gives Sawako some valuable advice.

With the first semester midterms over, everyone's recognizing Sawako for her review session, praising her. Sawako's class decides on having "Sawako's Black Magic Cafe" as their exhibition, using Sawako's herbs to make tea, and having an additional "Ask Sawako" advice booth. Sawako and Kazehaya are still awkward and silent towards each other, which Ayane notices and worries Chizuru. Next day, Ayane goes over to Chizuru's house to help her get ready for Toru's Wedding. The wedding ends without a hitch and Chi solidifies her sibling-like relationship with Toru. Afterwards, Chizuru asks Ryu to follow-up with Kazehaya, feeling guilty about what she said to him. Ryu initially refuses but concedes, saying he would only listen to his problems. Later, Kento approaches Sawako, who's tending to her garden. Back in the cafeteria, Ryu, still keeping in mind what Chizuru said, asked Kazehaya, bluntly, if he had confessed already or not. As Kazehaya's explaining his confusion and worry, Pin arrives, teases him about not having confessed yet and mocks him, telling him to confess to Sawako already. Kazehaya, determined, runs out, searching for Sawako (Pin told him where she was). Out in the courtyard, Kento and Sawako are discussing how Sawako's finally fitting into class (which she hadn't noticed, and shocks her). She receives a mental shock when Kento says that Kazehaya was probably looking out for her because she was an outcast, and since now she's not, he probably wouldn't talk to her anymore, and that he is in love with someone (both not realizing it's Sawako herself). Sawako, distraught, walks away and starts to cry. Kento tries to cheer her up, and ends up asking her out in the flow of things, only to be drowned out by Sawako's thoughts and the arrival of Kazehaya.

Kazehaya walks out on Sawako and Kento, with Kento grasping Sawako's arms and Sawako crying. Kazehaya asks what Kento is doing, and why Sawako is crying. Three of Kazehaya's friends walk over, to find Kazehaya angry, Sawako crying, and Kento just being there. When the three of them fool around and say that Kazehaya and Kento are both going after Sawako, Kazehaya finally cracks and confesses his love to Sawako. Sawako takes the confession as a misunderstanding and tells Kazehaya that if he says it that way, people will get the wrong idea. Kazehaya finally walks away, and Sawako follows. Kazehaya and Sawako skip class, and when Kazehaya asks her if she likes him, she says yes, but Kazehaya takes it in the way as just being friends and walks off, leaving Sawako alone in the alley. Pin finally finds Sawako, and after Sawako tells Pin that she has been rejected by Kazehaya, Pin tries to cheer her up. Ayane and Chizuru are also looking for Sawako and they have a feeling that Kento was a major part of it. They ask Kento where she is, and Kento says that she's outside by the benches. Kento tries to follow, but is interrupted by Kurumi, who makes Kento tell her what happened. Pin is still outside comforting Sawako, but is interrupted by Ayane and Chizuru. They ask what happened to Sawako, and before Ayane finished explaining something, Chizuru breaks out in tears and tells Sawako that she's being wrong, and Kazehaya is only angry because of the actions that Sawako took. Chizuru finally takes off, Ayane following her. The episode ends with Sawako asking herself if she had really done her best with Kazehaya up until this point.

The misunderstanding builds as both Kazehaya and Sawako believe they rejected one another's confessions. Sawako seeks comfort in Kurumi, who tells her that she didn't even put up a fight for Kazehaya. These words resonate deeply inside Sawako.

As preparations for the school festival progress, Sawako can't get Kurumi's words out of her head and thinks back to why she fell in love with Kazehaya. She also reflects on her own feelings after being told to give up by Pin. As their thoughts revolve around each other, the school festival finally begins. Sawako is shocked by what Kento says.

Despite being nervous and embarrassed, Sawako goes to the classroom to confront Kazehaya. Before Sawako has a chance to tell Kazehaya how she feels, Kazehaya apologizes to her for making her cry and angry, and that he would listen to her no matter what, because his feelings wouldn't change. He then says that Chizuru and Ayane are probably outside, but Sawako interrupts and says that she came to talk to Kazehaya, not to Chizuru or Ayane. Sawako tells Kazehaya about people apologizing to her for everything she did, and that she was thankful that Kazehaya smiled and said "thank you". She thanks him for his smiles, kindness, and telling her his hidden feelings. Kazehaya is about to say something when Sawako interrupts with "I like you", and keeps on repeating it. Kazehaya pulls Sawako into the classroom by the hand and shuts the door. Meanwhile, Joe is looking outside for Kazehaya and Pin is looking for Sawako. When Chizuru and Ayane tell Pin she went home, Pin heads towards the classroom to look for Kazehaya. However, Kazehaya and Sawako are hugging to the side of the classroom door, unaware of anything else. They stare right at each other, Kazehaya realizing they both have the same feelings, and Sawako still being confused. After a minute Joe walks in to the classroom and Kazehaya and Sawako pull away from each other. Sawako runs off, and Kazehaya becomes embarrassed and upset. Later that night, Ayane and Chizuru ask how the talk went, and Sawako says she wasn't able to say 1/10 of her feelings to Kazehaya. Pin walks in and pulls Sawako outside, where Sawako breaks down and tells Pin she can't look at Kazehaya without secret feelings. Pin replies that everyone has a heart, so Kazehaya probably has the same feelings. He runs off, telling her not to worry about it and for her to do well in the solo performance. He's heading home when he realizes he said something "super wonderful" and runs off to find Kazehaya. Kazehaya is sending a text to someone when Pin barges in te

The class finishes the costumes and Sawako performs her solo performance. Kazahaya ensures that Sawako knows his feelings.

With the school festival finally over, Sawako leaves home to go to an after the festival party. She meets up with Kazehaya and they continue walking to the party. When they get there they find Joe reenacting all of the details from when Sawako and Kazehaya confessed to each other. Everyone is saying that Sawako got Kazehaya with black magic, but Kazehaya immediately clears up that misunderstanding. After the party the class goes to the beach, where Kento pulls Kazehaya aside and tells him why Sawako was crying the other day. Pin also pulls Sawako aside to ask her if she told Kazehaya about her secret feelings. Kazehaya walks over and Pin makes him ask Sawako out, but while Kazehaya was at a loss for words Pin shouted "WILL YOU MARRY ME!" causing a misunderstanding on Sawako's part. Kazehaya follows her after she ran off, and she explains that she didn't take it seriously, when Kazehaya thought she did. After that was cleared up, Kazehaya finally asks out Sawako, who accepts, and Sawako tells Kazehaya about her secret feelings. Ayane, Chizu, Kento, and Kurumi are watching from above. The next day in school everyone has heard about the confession and now that Sawako and Kazehaya are dating. People go up to Sawako, hoping she can help them find boyfriends/girlfriends. In the classroom, Kazehaya tells everyone, under influence by Ayane, that Sawako is his girlfriend. Everything is no longer chaotic, Kento sees how perfect Sawako and Kazehaya are together, and he expresses his feelings in his thoughts that no one would have thought Sawako would win Kazehaya and Kurumi would end up with a broken heart. At the end of the episode the girls from Class A who bullied Sawako find out about Kazehaya and Sawako's new relationship.

When Sawako reaches school with Ayane & Chizuru, news about her current girlfriend-boyfriend relationship with Kazehaya has gotten out. Kazehaya is made to clarify his and Sawako's relationship so as to avoid further misunderstandings. Sawako then goes to confront Kurumi after overhearing Ayane saying to Chizuru that 'there's one girl who's definitely crying'. The same group of girls who harassed Sawako in the bathroom in season one badmouth Sawako, but Kurumi defends her by simply saying 'Kazehaya will not forgive you if you hurt her'. They then threaten to tell Kazehaya what Kurumi did, but she encourages them to, with a warning that Kazehaya greatly dislikes tattlers. On the rooftop, Sawako tells Kurumi what has happened, and the two come to an understanding. Kazehaya and Sawako meet up outside of school for a day together, all alone...
