The rivalry between Nishikata and Takagi continues! But when Nishikata makes his independent study project a ranking of the most beautiful things he¿s seen, what is it that sparkles at the very top?

Especially not after Takagi-san appears in his dream and dominates every contest he tries to plan. His bag of tricks may be empty, but his youthful determination remains strong. Nothing can distract him from his mighty cause of taking down Takagi-san...except for maybe Takagi-san herself.

Fall in love again, fans of Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, Komi Can't Communicate, and Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie! As if Urushi and Ayumu's shared club life wasn't complicated enough, now their families get involved. Ever the gentleman, Ayumu attempts to impress Urushi's father without betraying his intentions. But his strategic resolve will meet perhaps its greatest test yet...

"Ayumu is confident in almost everything he does--except shogi. This wouldn't be a problem if not for his solemn vow not to ask out his crush, the shogi club president, Urushi, until he beats her in a single game. A year has gone by and he's still not even close. What will happen with their back and forth, on and off the board?"--

To beat Takagi-san, Nishikata must think like Takagi-san, and that means everything has contest potential. From a teacher’s proposal to Setsubun, anything is fair game— except for 100% Unrequited. Although, why does Nishikata find it so embarrassing, anyway? It’s not like their relationship is even remotely like Ikeo and Kyunko’s!

"Ayumu is steadfast in his promise to himself that he will not ask out his crush and shogi club president, Urushi, until he beats her in a single game of shogi. However, his resolve will be tested at every turn, as his club senpai grows more and more brazen with her own feelings for him and they traverse the minefields of White Day and several totally-not-romantic dates."--Provided by publisher.

By his third year of middle school, Nishikata is a veteran of competitions and of losing, but he is resolved to win against Takagi-san in the new year. However, there is one challenge, from his friend Hamaguchi, that Nishikata’s okay with failing: asking Takagi-san out! Sharing an umbrella and climbing up the rumored romantic stairs together don’t count…right?

"While Yaotome has always had the upper hand in shogi, Ayumu gets a chance to show off his skills during the school's field day. Sparks almost fly, as both on and off the board Ayumu's resolve to not ask out his senpai until he has finally bested her at shogi faces test after test!"--Provided by publisher.

Although the new school year threatens to separate Nishikata and Takagi-san into different classes, one thing remains certain—their continual series of contests will go on! Second-year Nishikata is not the same boy he was before, and he will definitely beat Takagi-san…except there’s one problem—Takagi-san is also in year two!

Even when Nishikata feels like he’s got the upper hand, Takagi-san never makes things easy for him. Whether he’s doing his best to make her admit she’s cold in her summer uniform, giving her a strict speech while pretending to be her teacher, or simply trying to avoid getting slapped on the back after a bad sunburn, escaping embarrassment is always a tall order! But he’s no quitter, and he can’t lose every time…can he?

The day of the sports tests has arrived once more, and this time, Nishikata is determined to achieve victory over Takagi-san for sure! After last year's disappointing defeat, he's spent every spare moment training for his chance at revenge! If he's able to come out ahead, Takagi-san will be forced to stop teasing him...which is what Nishikata wants, right...?

Today''s flavor of teasing...is chocolate! As Valentine''s Day approaches,Nishikata and Takagi-san as they plan special Valentine''s pranks on each other!Are they really pranks? Or could it be...something more?

No one could've warned Nishikata of the trial by pranks that would dominate his middle school career. So far, he's had to ride tandem with his sworn enemy/prankster Takagi-san and not only avoid her gaze but dodge her deadly pokes! Little do people know that none of this would've happened if he hadn't met her on the first day of middle school-on that fateful day!

Summers finally here, which means...impromptu hangouts and pool dates with Takagi-san? Despite being a total novice when it comes to dealing with Takagi-sans pranks, will Nishikata be able to keep his cool this time around?
