Good Morning Call

Nao moves into her own apartment, but a male classmate shows up and says he's the real tenant. They find a solution but it won't be easy to pull off.

Nao is still reeling from the morning's events but Uehara doesn't remember a thing. Marina suspects something is up and starts asking questions.

Nao tends to Hisashi, who is hospitalized from overworking. A mysterious woman appears. Rumors buzz at school that Hisashi and Nao are an item.

With Christmas Eve fast approaching, an unfortunate encounter with a delivery boy leads Nao to a new job, where she meets Abe, the "confession king."

A confession to Abe confuses Nao's relationship with Uehara further. Later, she hears that he'll be spending New Year's with his coworker, Nanako.

At Marina's suggestion, Nao and Uehara eat lunch bento together in public. It's fun, but she wonders if he's thinking of Yuri when they're together.

Nao and Uehara head off to college, but Uehara's popularity worries Nao, and their new acquaintance Natsume seems to want to separate them.

A kiss incident with Natsume causes misunderstandings between Uehara and Nao. He takes a job in a lab while she scopes out clubs at college.

Nao learns that Uehara is on first name terms with Saeko in his lab. She confides her fears to Natsume during a trip to a petting zoo with his sister.

With Uehara's birthday approaching, Nao takes a job at the store where Natsume works. A customer's request makes them both think about what they want.

Natsume and Nao take lead roles in Abecchi's play, but the script's kiss scenes annoy Uehara. Meanwhile, Micchan and Marina are on the rocks.

Nao plans a surprise party for Uehara's birthday, but unbeknownst to her, he quickly finds out about it. Natsume gives Nao some advice.
