No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys' Fault I’m Not Popular!

Synopsis

Yoshida demonstrates disappointment with Tomoko's gift.

This chapter continues the story of the previous two chapters, and it opens with an untitled introduction followed by two titled parts.

The day after Valentine's Day, first Yuri and then a reserved Tomoko give Mako chocolates in thanks for the chocolates she gave them day previously. Mako blushes and sincerely thanks them for their efforts. While Mako compliments Tomoko's chocolates, Uchi who is standing and talking with Miyazaki and her unnamed friend with black hair on the other side of the classroom. Uchi seems to hear her.

The side narration reads, "A Valentine's Day filled with nothing but girls!"

Hit & Run #1

Yuri asks Tomoko if she will give Yoshida some of the chocolates she made. Tomoko fears Yoshida will get mad seeing the poop-shaped chocolates, but Yuri reassures her. Tomoko decides to leave a bag of two in Yoshida's desk. Yoshida later comes to her desk, nonchalantly sits, then notices the bag with the expected reaction. Yuri explains that they are chocolates, are a gift, and were given as thanks for being her friend. To Yoshida's demand to know what kind of friend "gives someone shit-shaped chocolate?!" Yuri can only admit that Tomoko is "a bit of an idiot."

Hit & Run #2

Uchi's curiousity then appetite overcomes her disgust.

Tomoko walks amongst the shoe lockers and stops in front of Uchi's. She places a bag of chocolates in the locker then leaves. Unbeknownst to her, Uchi waits hidden from her.

At home, Uchi reads the simple note, "Thanks for the chocolate," from Tomoko and wonders why she did not give them to her in person. Deeming Tomoko a "creep" and "gross," Uchi initially decides not try them since, "she probably put something weird in my chocolate." Curiosity gets the better of her, and she tries one. She finds it "disgustingly sweet," and when she returns the piece to the bag she notices that they appear to fit together. After putting them together, she recognizes the now obvious original shape in nervous horror but, after a pause, still tries another piece.
