2. Girls Are Amazing

3. Welcome to Maken-ki

4. The Enemy Is at Tenbi
Himegami asks Takeru to go on a shopping date! Of course, she has an ulterior motive: to inspect the mysterious mark on Takeru's chest. Sounds easy enough, but her plans are interrupted by her roommates, her fan club, and an unknown stalker.
5. The Strongest Girl in Tenbi

Syria is Tenbi's newest transfer student, and she's taken quite an interest in Takeru! What does she plan to do with him in the disused shack on the outskirts of campus?
9. Stormy Games
The boys of Tenbi Academy petition the faculty for co-ed swim classes (for the sake of gender equality, of course). Naturally, the girls protest. There's only one way to solve this dilemma: a boys-versus-girls water fight full of swimsuits and nosebleeds!
10. The Girls of Light and Shadow
If Takeru fails his Element practical again, he'll be kicked out of Makenki! Meanwhile, there's something not quite right about Minerva, the newest member of Venus to transfer to Tenbi. Why is she confronting Himegami in the woods?
