Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

Synopsis

Naoto is surprised Hayase doesn’t invite him to the summer festival so he goes by himself and bumps into Maki and Youshi . They send a picture to Hayase so she rushes to the festival in a fit of jealousy where Maki challenges her to win Naoto back. During the festival games Hayase teases him about wanting her to invite him, but hints he could have invited her. Hayase wins Naoto back so Maki and Youshi leave. Fireworks draw a crowd so Naoto takes her to a more secluded spot to watch. Hayase teases that he is just trying to get her alone despite being too cowardly to try for a kiss. Naoto responds that she is also too cowardly to try, causing an awkward moment. They suddenly realise the secluded spot is a make out spot and they are surrounded by kissing couples, so they flee. Naoto suggests they visit next year’s festival together, pleasing her. After returning to school Naoto sees a boy in Hayase’s group keep putting his arm around her so he finds the courage to ask Hayase to leave with him, which she happily does, as do the girls, leaving the confused boys behind. Naoto meets another of Hayase’s friends, Sakura, one of the girls who first bullied him for drawing manga in the library.
