Episodes
1. Since I'm Not Popular, I'll Change My Image a Bit
Kuroki Tomoko thought she would instantly become popular once she entered high school... but the reality is that, two months after starting school, she still hasn't spoken with any of her classmates. As other kids in her class laugh over photos from their recent karaoke outing, Tomoko sits alone reading a book while she eats her lunch. That's when she decides it's time to take action so she can learn to converse with others - especially boys.
2. Since I'm Not Popular, I'll See My Old Friend
Tomoko is enjoying her "Yandere Boys' Verbal Abuse" CD in her room when her phone rings. The caller is her friend from middle school, Yuu-chan. Yuu-chan was plain and geeky in middle school, but Tomoko hasn't seen her since they graduated. Realizing that Yuu-chan will probably ask her how high school life is going, Tomoko sets out to live a fulfilling high school life that she can tell her old friend all about...
3. Since I'm Not Popular, The Weather is Bad
It's a very rainy, windy day. Tomoko forgets her textbook, but she can't bring herself to ask the boy next to her to let her see his, and she doesn't have friends in other classes to borrow one from. She tries to erase her presence and go unnoticed, but the teacher spots her easily. Ruing her luck, Tomoko starts home in the rain, but another tragedy awaits as she stands over a flooded channel, watching the water lapping at the bottom of the bridge...
