After saying some pretty embarrassing things to each other, Alya and Masachika are trying to figure out the nature of their changing relationship. Alya's feeling a bit flustered now that she's seeing more of his "cool" side, but she needs to clear her mind and be ready for rivals popping out of the woodwork. One of Masachika's childhood friends doesn't approve of her, and his former middle school election opponent throws down the gauntlet. The campaign to win the student council election begins in earnest with the first debate! Maybe some adversity will at least help to bring the two a little closer...
Masachika Kuse sits next to Arya, a girl of Russian and Japanese descent, and while she is an exceptional student and Masachika is known for being a slacker, the two develop a friendship even though he can barely understand what she is really saying.
