My Friend S Little Sister Has It In For Me Volume 5

If a girl teases you, that means she likes you! Unfortunately, Akiteru knows from experience that isn’t the case. Because every girl he interacts with shows him nothing but scorn, and he’s not scored a single date from it! Luckily, he’s more concerned with securing a spot for him and his game-development buddies at his uncle’s business. But when his uncle throws him a condition that involves playing the part of his daughter’s boyfriend, Akiteru has no choice but to take it. What will his best friend’s sister Iroha, who bullies him relentlessly, think of the news?

The Alliance is caught in a maelstrom of trouble as secrets are covered and uncovered everywhere you look! Unaware of this spiral of secrecy, Akiteru’s started seeing Iroha in a new light... And just his luck, his uncle shows up to make sure Akiteru sticks to playing the role of Mashiro’s fake boyfriend! Akiteru’s got no choice but to set up a (fake) date for the summer festival. Will someone like Iroha really sit back and just watch? What’ll become of the Alliance in this perfect storm of trouble? And...just who will Akiteru wind up watching the fireworks with?

As old charades end and new ones begin, the intricate system of secrets and lies holding the Alliance together threatens to collapse like a house of cards--not that Akiteru's noticed. He's been a bit preoccupied with Iroha, who he can't help seeing in a new light. It would figure, then, that his uncle would pick now to show up. So long as he's around, Akiteru's going to have to work double-time to sell the angle that he and Mashiro are a real fake couple. Dealt this bum hand by fate, can Aki come up with the perfect bluff, or will he fold? Can any gambit survive intact while Iroha's a player? And when the summer festival finally comes, just who will Akiteru wind up watching the fireworks with?

Akiteru's intent on living life as efficiently as possible. Ever since Mashiro's shock revelation, up's become down and nothing's as it seems! His friend's little sister went from Annoying with capital A to Sweet with capital S?! Mashiro's grown even colder than before, and he didn’t even think that was possible! His group's script writer's suddenly swapped genres, and even Murasaki Shikibu is sticking to deadlines! What's it all mean?! And how's Akiteru supposed to stick to being efficient when nothing makes sense anymore?

Mashiro has just shared a devastating secret with Sumire. Aki and Iroha have been forced through a ceremony that historically guarantees the participants will be married. Meanwhile, Sumire is on the brink of freedom—but just what will she choose to do with it? With the Alliance being pulled in all directions, will it even last the summer, or will it sink down into the depths of the ocean?

Summer vacation. For any high schooler, a time to let loose and have some fun! But for unfortunate Akiteru, it just means stress, stress, and even more stress! As if his fake relationship with Mashiro wasn’t enough, Sumire’s dropped a tremendous bombshell on him. Iroha’s back in force with a teasing vengeance, and now Midori’s acting mighty suspect too. Will Akiteru make it through the summer with his sanity intact? Or will the complex web of relationships finally spell his doom?
