This volume contains short stories not included in the collected volumes, as well as a totally new story!!

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END The calendar reads March, but the buds of new hope are far from blooming. Yukino, Yui, and Hachiman are finally trying to articulate their feelings and act on them-but doing so means irreversibly changing their relationships. As much as they would like things to stay the same forever, a new day cannot dawn until the beautiful sunset gives way to night. If they want to move forward, they must put an end to this chapter of their lives. Before they even have time to worry, though, the credits start to roll…

After the Valentine’s Day event and the trip to the aquarium, Hachiman, Yukino, and Yui decide on their next step-but suddenly, the Service Club receives a huge request! Yukino feels she must answer the call, even if she regrets her choice… Everyone has to grow up someday, and not every person you meet along the way will stay with you. Until that day comes, though, there is only the present. What answers to their dilemma do these three hold close to their hearts?

CONFLICT, CHANGE, AND CHOCOLATE At Iroha Isshiki’s request, the Service Club is now helping with a Valentine’s Day event-and once Miura, Ebina, Kawasaki, and the rest of the “it crowd” are involved, the task spirals into a surprisingly major undertaking. Despite the relative calm, though, there’s a sense of dissonance that’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore... and feelings that can’t be rationalized away. As much as Hachiman would like to keep his relationships the way they are, something is bound to change.

Cold Hands, Warm HeartS It may be the dead of winter, but a sudden drop in temperature isn’t enough to stop the Service Club from buzzing with activity. Students are still coming by the clubroom to ask favors of the crew. From a certain boy’s vapid request to Iroha’s unrelenting pleas for help, Yuigahama and Yukinoshita just can’t seem to catch a break. Neither, it seems, can Hachiman-especially given his preoccupation with good times, the future, precious days off, and everything youth represents…

Hachiman is enjoying a relaxed winter break—until he runs into Yukino and Hayato and realizes he may know less than he thought about their history and relationship. Rumors are already circulating by the time classes resume, and when a new request comes to the Service Club, Hachiman will have to look beneath the surface to see a new side of his schoolmates...

Immediately following the school’s cultural festival, the sports festival is about to get underway, and the Service Club already has its next case: Student council president Meguri Shiromeguri asks for their help in making the sports festival the most exciting one yet. However, the event is missing a committee chair. Yuigahama and Yukinoshita have experience in similar departments, but they decide to nominate Minami Sagami instead—the chair of that fateful cultural festival where it all went wrong. Has the Service Club bitten off more than it can chew?

Christmas is almost here, but everything Hachiman has wanted, everything he might have wished for, is gone. Ever since the student council elections, the Service Club hasn't been the same, and the members only drag themselves to the club room out of obligation. But when they're asked to help out with a Christmas event and Hachiman decides to handle it alone, it looks like the situation is only going to get worse...

The Service Club is especially busy these days now that they're handling requests via email. Even without the excitement of a major event, sometimes just the day to day is all the drama you need...

A LONER'S SOCIAL LIFE SHOULDN'T BE THIS COMPLICATED, RIGHT? Excitement is building among the students for the big overnight trip to Kyoto-a school event rife with potential for both budding romance and traumatic memories. And sure enough, right before they leave, the Service Club has a surprising visitor who asks for romantic advice. Unfortunately, this may conflict with a request from someone else before the trip...and Hachiman is finding it harder and harder to stay out of the growing web of relationships in his class.

After all the hardships, struggles, and mistakes, the only thing Hachiman, Yukino, and Yui can do is ask the same questions in search of new answers. Yes, it’s the same routine, but each day is always new. Hachiman has struggled to answer truthfully, and his relationships have suffered for it—but it’s time for that to change. This romantic comedy has gone wrong enough times. The story may be coming to an end, but youth lives on.

Ah, culture festivals. The best way to survive such a troublesome chore is...don't answer when someone talks to you, and act obviously annoyed. Employing his loner skills to the fullest, Hachiman is ready and willing to run at the first sign of responsibility. Unfortunately, while he's busy skipping homeroom, he ends up being chosen for the culture festival committee...

Hachiman's summer break is coming to a close, when Yui suddenly comes to visit his house. Not only that, but Totsuka has an invitation for him, as well as a request from a classmate--he even runs into Yukino's sister at the fireworks festival! Hachiman is determined not to get close to anyone or have any expectations, but even this stubborn loner can't ignore the changes occurring in his relationships with Yukino and Yui...

It's summer break, and Hachiman is continuing his leisurely life of solitude-until Miss Hiratsuka forces the Service Club back together to volunteer at a campground. For some reason, Hayama, Miura, and their crew of normies are there, too... Thus begins a compulsory, youthful season of fireworks, tests of courage, nighttime conversations, and bathhouse incidents, with no escape for Hachiman. Summer is indeed a minefield for the loner...

Nothing ever changes. No friends, no girlfriends--nothing but a solitary life at school... So why is Hachiman so uncomfortable? Maybe it's the fact that their club room is one girl short. There's no way Yukino and Hachiman can solve the problems born from this chain of misunderstandings. The bittersweet time with Totsuka, preparing for battle with Zaimokuza, a secret side of Ms. Hiratsuka...and strip poker? Surrounded by characters sprinting headlong in the wrong direction, will the club ever return to normal?

As usual, Hachiman Hikigaya's warped personality prevents him from having any enjoyable moments of youth. The days all the seem the same until suddenly, an 'incident' occurs in class. This is a problem that no one who had any semblance of a normal high school life could solve, but if it's Hachiman, just maybe...

Hachiman Hikigaya is a cynic. "Youth" is a crock, he believes--a sucker's game, an illusion woven from failure and hypocrisy. But when he turns in an essay for a school assignment espousing this view, he's sentenced to work in the Service Club, an organization dedicated to helping students with problems in their lives! How will Hachiman the Cynic cope with a job that requires--gasp!--optimism?
