This is Hiro's revenge for them laughing at the picture Sae took of her sleeping the day before.

Yuno is given a bicycle, but finds she cannot remember how to ride, so the girls take her to a riverside park to help her practice.

After a bad start to the day breaking some plates, Yuno gets a low score on her grammar test and has to take a makeup exam. After studying for the retake, she gets a perfect score, but accidentally rips her sheet. On April 1, Yuno hears from the landlord that new freshmen will be coming to Hidamari Apartments, so the girls help clean the other rooms up. On April 3, one of the freshmen's parents arrive with her things and offer to take the girls out to lunch. While they do that, the new freshmen, Nazuna and Nori, arrive at the apartments and are surprised that they cannot find anyone else. When the girls get back from their lunch, they meet with the new residents and officially welcome them to the apartments.

On April 6, the girls hold a welcome party for Nazuna and Nori. Miyako brings a 'question dice' in order to find out things about the freshmen.

Natsume gets a brief chance to walk home with Sae. Yuno, Miyako, Nori and Nazuna go to a home store to buy some new curtains for Nori's apartment, since her current ones are too short.

Afterward, everyone has dinner at Hiro's place, and Nazuna and Nori start to bond.

On April 20, the girls go in for their physical exams, and Yuno is not too pleased with her results, which say she has shrunk since last year. Yuno gets a wrong number call from Arisawa, a former senior, and thinks back to when she met her on January 31. Yuno had left her cell phone at school, which was found by Arisawa who was drawing in the classroom. She draws a picture of Yuno and gives her some advice about college and the two become friends.

On October 15 of the previous year, Yoshinoya appears to be down, and is constantly checking her cell phone, leading Yuno and the others to think she may be in love. It later turns out she has been reading a romance novel on her phone. On April 26, the girls spot Nazuna on numerous occasions being assisted by boys and wonder if she is popular among them. When asked about it, Nazuna says she is not too keen with it since it makes the other girls jealous.

Sae's younger sister Chika visits the Hidamari Apartments once again, where she meets Nazuna and Nori for the first time. The girls plan a picnic at a nearby lakeside park and later recount what they did and talked about back at the apartment building. As Chika is the same age as Nazuna and Nori, the three of them are able to quickly become friends.

On May 13, Yuno and Miyako hear from Nori about a delicious crab fried rice dish that is on the school menu for a limited time and become determined to try it.

On May 21 of the present, Yuno and Miyako do some sketching at the park, where they throw stones at a weird shaped rock in the river.

After accidentally flushing her apartment key down the toilet, Yuno asks the landlady for another one. While the landlady tries to find the spare key among various other junk, Yuno spends each night sleeping over at each of the residents' apartments. After five nights, the landlady manages to find the spare key and Yuno finally returns to her apartment, only to be greeted by a foul smell from some leftover cooking.

On June 5, it begins raining and will continue for the rest of the day. Yuno and Miyako see a puzzle involving matchsticks on TV where the answer is revealed to be online, so they head over to Nori's room to check it on her computer; Nazuna had already come over. After playing for a bit on the computer, they order a pizza around noon and later Hiro and Sae also come over for the same reason Yuno and Miyako had. Back on February 16, the seniors are participating in a tradition where they display voluntary final projects around the school.

However, she has trouble trying to run into Sae throughout the week. She eventually spots her, but is shocked to see she is already close friends with Hiro, which explains her antagonistic attitude towards Sae.

A bout of homesickness drives Yuno to pay a short visit to her parents' home, where she catches up on the lives of the friends she left behind.

Yuno and Miyako become curious about the noises going on in Sae's apartment, which turns out to be a discussion about a school trip to Hokkaido the third years are going on. As Hiro and Sae go on their trip, Yuno tries to think of how she can be more of an upperclassman to Nori and Nazuna.

As Hiro and Sae continue on their Hokkaido school trip with a visit to a glassmaking factory, Yuno continues to struggle with how to become a good upperclassman.

The school holds a swim meet, with Miyako, Nori and Sae competing whilst Yuno is part of the camera crew. Nori, Sae and Miyako all manage to win their events, bringing their overall team to victory. Afterwards, everyone checks the school's homepage to see the photos Yuno had taken.

Having inadvertently told her parents that she knew how to cook, Nazuna asks Hiro and Yuno to teach her how to make chicken karaage and miso soup for when they come over. When something goes wrong with Nazuna's rice, the others help her make the most of it. Later, after Nori wakes up in the middle of the night following a bad dream, she goes over to Sae's apartment, where the two spend the whole night talking.

Yuno and Miyako spend a lot of time chatting whilst drawing self-portraits in class. After class, they proceed to try and spend the entire night chatting with each other.

After the others become worried about her, Sae pops over to her apartment later that night to comfort her. The next morning, Hiro returns to her more cheerful self and makes her decision to become a teacher.

On the day of the festival, Yuno and Miyako check out the other class's booths, as well as run into Arisawa and her friend. Later, Hiro and the others visit Yuno's haunted house, which proves to be a successful scare. Afterwards, Yuno escorts her parents around the festival before rejoining Miyako for the post-festival dance.

The Landlady wins a Game of Life board game in a lottery and gives it to the girls, who personalise the game into a 'Hidamari Apartments edition'. Whilst playing through the game, the gang receives a call from Chika, which proves embarrassing for Sae since the game forces her to act like a cat. As the game goes on, Nazuna and Nori learn more about the apartment whilst everyone wonders about the Landlady's actual job. Nori ends up winning the game whilst everyone thinks about their futures.

After snow falls on the Hidamari Apartments, the residents attempt to resist the urge to play in the snow instead of concentrating on their studies. Later, Chika visits the Hidamari Apartments to discuss Sae's mock exam results with her before joing the others for a gyouza party.
