12. Bölüm: Nishikata'nın Beyaz Gün Yarışması ve Hamaguchi'nin Başarısız İtirafı

12

Nishikata is distracted thinking about what Hamaguchi said while he and Takagi are walking home together. The next day, as Nishikata prepares an elaborate White Day contest, Takagi tells him that she will be going to a relative's wedding ceremony on March 13. On White Day, after he sets the contest in motion, Nishikata receives a text message from Takagi saying she might not be back until the following day. Meanwhile in the classroom, Mina finds one of the boxes for the contest after Takao and Kimura inadvertently displace it. As such, she, Yukari, and Sanae end up doing the contest instead. During library duty, Kimura gives Nishikata a book, which is the same one Takagi previously read. After school, Hamaguchi meets up with Hojo where he chickens out of confessing his feelings to her, much to her disappointment. Later that day, when Nishikata realizes all the times Takagi was being honest with him while reading the book, he runs out of his house to find her. When he finally does following a long chase, he tells her he wanted to see her, much to her delight. (Source: Wikipedia)
