AND SO A NEW ROUTINE BEGINS. With winter behind them and spring in full bloom, the entire cast takes a new step forward. Haruto Fuwa has announced a new book series; Miyako Shirakawa joins Branch Hill Publishing and becomes a full-fledged professional editor; Chihiro is quickly becoming princess of the nerds at her college’s tabletop RPG club—and after his 40,000-word love letter, Itsuki Hashima has regained his groove, writing and attempting to become the protagonist of his own tale once more. Between gaming, traveling, drinking, and occasionally romancing, things are both changing and as ribald as usual—all while the popular romcom ensemble series approaches its conclusion!

Nayuta Kani, meanwhile, has given up on writing entirely, holing up in her place and gaming as if her life depends on it. Haruto Fuwa and Miyako Shirakawa are flailing to figure out how to restore the duo to their usual energetic selves, but while the protagonists are frozen in time, the clock keeps ticking and life goes on—and life always has plenty of twists in store!

Recalling his own debut-era troubles, Itsuki steps up to offer support—but meanwhile, his anime is launching soon, and it’s just one crisis after another. With Miyako getting serious about her job hunt and Chihiro gaining some new rivals (who are even worse than the robo-vac), this epic romcom is bursting with action (and little sisters)!
