Nozaki runs into Hirotaka Wakamatsu, his junior from their middle school basketball team. Wakamatsu tells Nozaki how Seo harasses him, making him unable to sleep. Ironically, when Wakamatsu hears a song by Lorelei at Nozaki's house, he immediately falls asleep. Nozaki creates two side characters based on Seo and Wakamatsu's relationship named Oze and Waka. Wakamatsu uses shōjo manga as reference to express his anger at Seo, but she interprets his actions as a love confession. Later on, Nozaki gets a fever and sends the text message "SOS" to Hori, Sakura and Wakamatsu. The three team up to help Nozaki with his manga and discover Wakamatsu is skilled at applying screentones. However, without Nozaki's direction, they add mismatched screentones to every page.
