On a very pleasant morning, Tanaka is taking a nap in the school courtyard. His classmate, Ohta, carries him to class, but Tanaka continues to sleep on his desk.

Tanaka arrives to school soaking wet on a rainy day. He doesn’t like using the umbrella because it’s bothersome. He took an umbrella from home, but he never opened the umbrella since it wasn’t raining much. Even though the rain started getting heavy, he continued to walk without using the umbrella. As a result, he catches a cold. At school, Tanaka realizes he forgot his textbook, so he goes next door to ask Echizen to borrow hers. He tries asking her by writing it down since he’s unable to speak due to his sore throat...

Today is Valentine’s Day. While girls and boys are excited, Tanaka, who’s not interested in Valentine’s at all, finds a box of chocolates inside his bag. Judging by the pretty box, it’s obvious the giver has feelings for him, but Tanaka feels despair just thinking about having to show gratitude or giving something in return. There’s no name on the attached message and only says “I’m watching you all the time.” Tanaka and Ohta try to figure out the culprit... i.e. the girl behind the chocolates.

Tanaka hasn’t really been in a fast food restaurant because he’s not a fan of the fast-paced atmosphere. But he tags along with Ohta to WcDonald’s (a.k.a. Wac) so Ohta can try the limited edition sweet. Contrary to Tanaka’s expectations, the service is great and no one cares if he’s being lazy in the restaurant. Delighted by the relaxing atmosphere, Tanaka even starts admiring a Wac’s employee. But, the employee is frightened at the lazy-looking and scary-looking high school boys...
