Otakura has many hobbies — manga, anime, and collecting dolls, to name a few — that make him an “otaku”. He tries to hide his nerdy hobbies from his new high school classmates, but his diagonal neighbor spies some of his doodlings and takes an interest in his talents, particularly as they can help her. She asks “Otaku-kun” to help her re-create a press-on nails trend, try new hair styles, and even intervene with her friend who is being targeted by bullies. Otakura’s new friend, the vivacious and energetic Yua, is a “gal”, someone obsessed with fashion and being on the latest trend. The two span the hierarchy of social ladders, but Yua could care less about Otakura’s reputation.

The phantom busters are given a task from the Student Body president in order to save their club room, and in the process, Mogari also reveals he has a fairly impossible task from his family to exorcist a large number of demons in a year or lose his privilege of going to school. The president secretly is a huge fan of the paranormal, but his steely exterior must be maintained, especially around his subordinates. Korekishi has his own problems — his mother threatens to have him transferred to another school if he doesn’t quit the phantom busters, and a former classmate also pressures him to quit the club to realize his full leadership potential elsewhere.

Hikaru is an ordinary middle school until he accidentally couples with a mechanical arm — Alma — and becomes the target of two organizations both vying for control of the innocent AI housed inside it. Hikaru tries to lay low at school, but his school becomes infiltrated and shortly a contested battle ground! It also seems that Alma has awakened improperly and cannot function if Hikaru is too far out of range, which is super inconvenient in a battle. 
Sofia wants to keep her family recipes alive, especially the ones she learned with her grandma, but she’s a disaster in the kitchen. Her work-a-holic mother hadn’t taught her any skills, and her grandmother passed way when Sofia was young. Sofia is also facing a looming deadline of high school graduation and college/career planning that persists in every conversation. One day, Sofia experiences a fateful metro slip up that deposits her on the doorstep of an Italian restaurant where her school associate just happens to be one of the cooks.
