The youth comedy where the gap of love is closed half a step at a time! Can Nishikata face Takagi-san with a new haircut-one that nobody, not even he has seen? Mano-chan's little lie raises the tension, as hearts pound in the lunchroom scene. Then, Takagi-san's uncharacteristic absence leads Nishikata to call on her and deliver some printouts, and he finds himself in her room! What might happen next!? Finally, in a depart from tradition, an episode where the pair begin to call each other by their first names! The previously unchanging distance between the two appears to slowly draw closer. Be it Nishikata's courage, or Takagi-san's warm smile-half step by half step, that distance continues to shrink in volume 19!
