Along the way, they cross paths with Arata Haitani, Takano’s old coworker who’s now the editor in chief for their rival Shonen Earth.

==Plot==
In "The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.14," Masamune Takano still wants to celebrate Ritsu Onodera's birthday. Following an autograph session at Marimo Books for Nanako Saitou, Takano spontaneously decides he and Ritsu will go to Kyoto. While Takano buys the tickets, Ritsu runs into Saeki who introduces him to Arata Haitani, a former colleague of Takano's from Shuudansha. When Takano sees them talking, he gets irritated and drags Ritsu off to a train to Kyoto, where they spend the weekend in a hotel room. When they return Monday morning, they again run into Haitani, who notices they're wearing the same clothes from Saturday. Ritsu tries to play it off as a business trip, but to Ritsu's embarrassment, Takano insists the trip was for pleasure.
In "The Case if Ritsu Onodera No.15," Ritsu is concerned about the ratings of his author's manga and his future as the heir of Onodera Publishing. An uncomfortable call with his mother reminds Ritsu that he will inherit his family's company and he needs an heir. At work, Iori Satou's ranking dropped after the last issue, and Ryuichiro Isaka will be taking over as president of the company. It falls on Ritsu to pick out a gift for Isaka, and Takano accompanies him to the store where they run into Haitani. When Ritsu and Takano talk later, Takano correctly guesses that he had a call with his mother, which is why Ritsu's stressed about work. Takano asks if Ritsu took over for Onodera Publishing if he would quit Marukawa and move, but Ritsu isn't sure. Another day at work, last month's rankings have come in and Satou has risen in the rankings.
“The Case of Shouta Kisa No.5” opens with Kou Yukina talking about how he’ll be modeling at a student-run fashion show for his school, Touto University of the Arts. The student that got him involved was Rio Kojima, the woman who sparked the conflict of “The Case of Shouta Kisa No.4.” In preparation for the fashion show, Rio spends lots of time around Yukina both at and outside of school, and Shouta Kisa is envious of her. Kisa goes to the show and gets caught up in the crowd gets shoved onto the stage right at Yukina’s feet. Yukina kisses him on stage in front of the entire audience and rushes to hide them backstage. They talk and it comes to light that in the past Rio dated Yukina, but it didn’t work out and they remained friends, but that’s not what was causing Kisa’s jealousy now. What was causing Kisa's jealousy now was that Rio and Yukina were on a first name basis with each other. From this chapter onwards, Yukina and Kisa will occasionally call each other by their first names.
In “The Case of Shouta Kisa No 5.5,” thinking that Yukina is asleep, Kisa calls him by his first name. Yukina answers, and Kisa is very flustered, and he thinks to himself how it’s going to take a long time to get used to calling Yukina “Kou”.
