GOING FOR BROKE Seikain Girls’ Academy has received word that Aika’s family, the Tenkubashi, have gone bankrupt. Now, Aika must go live with Kimito at his “commoner” home. How will Kimito deal with having a roommate?!

IS THIS MY REAL LIFE? What really happened to Kimito in the winter of fourth grade? Under the watchful eyes of Club Commoner and Kujo-san, his long-forgotten memories finally return. Meanwhile, Eri, who has become a star at Seikain Girls School, has told the young ladies about independent women. The young ladies adore her for this, but the school sees it as problematic. A confrontation is inevitable, and things will not go as Eri expects!

MEMORIES AND RIVALRIES Slowly, Kimito’s memories of his past with Kujo-san start to return. Memories of being a fourth grader, of being a member of the Kagurazaka family, and of being Miyuki’s older brother mix in a very confusing way. At the same time, the students at Seikain are super curious about “Hanae Eri,” the new sample commoner who also happens to be Kimito’s childhood friend.

SOCIALITE MEDIA It’s Kimito’s duty as the “Sample Commoner” to introduce elements of his world to the highborn young ladies at Seikain Academy, and when he exposes them to the wonders of social media, Aika finally sees her chance to take her turn in the spotlight. When a bunch of insulated, naïve, and impressionable young women gain the ability to broadcast their every thought, what could possibly go wrong?

CHILDHOOD FRENEMIES Kimito’s old friend Eri has unexpectedly appeared on campus, and she couldn’t be a bigger contrast to the pampered aristocrats he’s been spending so much time with lately. Unfortunately, those rich girls’ conception of “normal” relies pretty heavily on manga and light novels…and the tropes don’t lie. The greatest threat to landing the boy is always the childhood friend! They won’t give up on their Sample Commoner without a fight. It’s Eri vs. Everyone at Seikain Girls School!

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE Karen has always been a bit different–aloof and isolated, a descendant of samurai, yet with a secret desire to be popular. She and her friend Aika make a pact: They’ll make Karen the talk of the school however they can! When Karen rescues a fellow student from a bear attack, the whole school grows obsessed with one question: Who is this anonymous hero? Why does she always leave a stuffed rabbit behind? It’s a cult of personality in the making, and the school’s sample commoner, Kimito, is bound to be left cleaning up the mess.
