E1. White Album

On a fall day a month before the school fair, Haruki Kitahara's Light Music Club is about to be disbanded, thanks to trouble caused by their beautiful vocalist, Tomo Yanagihara. Haruki tries to find a new member, but despite his own problems he's forced to help with the School Fair Committee too. There he meets Setsuna Ogiso, winner of the Miss Houjou contest for two years running, who wants to withdraw from this year's contest.

E2. Piano and Guitar, Side by Side

Haruki is entranced by Setsuna's singing on the rooftop, and plots to get her to join the Light Music Club no matter what. But she hates standing out, so convincing her is incredibly difficult. Meanwhile, the club has an even bigger problem. The elite student from Music Room 2 he was trying to persuade to join his club as the keyboard player isn't a member of the Music Class, it's a mysterious person whose class and identity are a total unknown.

E5. Touching Hearts

Setsuna realizes that Haruki has been staying at Kazusa's house this whole time, and she reveals her true self to him: cowardly, introverted, and pathetic. But Haruki accepts her as she is. The boundary between them is broken, and the bonds between the three grow stronger as the school fair draws near. But Kazusa is skipping sleep and food to work on her "last trick" before the school concert.

E6. Before the Fair

Kazusa's overworking finally catches up to her, and she collapses two days before the school fair. Haruki cares for her as he continues to practice his guitar. Kazusa, in a (possibly) fevered state, tells him about her troubled relationship with her mother Youko. But meanwhile, at the concert rehearsal in the gym, Setsuna is separated from the other two and feels lonely and afraid her first time on stage.
