I Hate You More Than Anyone, Vol. 6

When Kazuha's good friend Arata confesses his love for her, she's understandingly stunned. She doesn't share his feelings - and besides, she's in love with Sugimoto, but she certainly doesn't want to hurt her friend's feelings either. What's a girl to do? Then a shopping trip leads to an embarrassing encounter with a guy who later turns out to have a very close connection to Sugimoto.
