I read through chapters 2 and 3 (the last chapter), and...
I don't even know what to say. I wish it ended at chapter 1 with the open-ending, LOL.
Chapter 2:
The beginning is fluff. After school's completely over, Nagi finds Tamaki hanging out with a group of girls at night, and they're all smoking. Nagi gets invited over and is offered a cigarette by some chick who kinda looks like Yuu, but Tamaki lies and says Nagi's got asthma, so she can't smoke, and then uses that as an excuse to leave with Nagi. As they're walking home together, Nagi asks about that chick, and Tamaki tells her that her name is Kashiwagi Misaki - her ex-girlfriend.
The next day, Nagi is full of doubt about Tamaki's promise to make Yuu happy. She wonders about whether or not Yuu is aware of Misaki at all, and worries for her. After school, Nagi finds Yuu alone in the classroom, staring at the sky while waiting for Tamaki. The two of them hear a cellphone ring, and it turns out to be Tamaki's. Yuu opens Tamaki's bag and takes her cellphone (damn girl), and here she admits that no matter how many times she tries to erase Misaki from Tamaki's phone, it always seems to get added back. Yuu admits that she kinda tried to imitate Misaki's face (hence the face full of makeup), but she feels like she still has to try harder (to be loved back by Tamaki). Nagi tries to comfort her by hugging her, and Yuu says that at the beginning, she thought she didn't need any friends as long as she had Tamaki, but she was wrong - she wants to be friends with Nagi (who agrees immediately). Tamaki is revealed to have overheard the entire conversation, and comes into the classroom like nothing happened.
Nagi leaves, somewhat ponders over her feelings for Yuu, and decides to go out later at night. She then encounters Misaki on the way to the convenience store, who asks Nagi to stick around because she also called Tamaki. Misaki says that Tamaki's the type that would do anything for her... and cue cliffhanger.
Chapter 3:
The chapter opens with Nagi telling Misaki that Tamaki won't be able to pick her calls up, and that she wouldn't be coming... before bolting off. As Nagi runs away, she spots Tamaki, who is, of course, running towards where Misaki is. Nagi is like "girl wtf', catches her, and drags her away. Nagi tries to tell Tamaki off, saying that being around Misaki is going to make the latter's feelings waver too much. Tamaki asks Nagi if she likes Yuu, and oh god what a surprise, Nagi's thinking to herself, "If only I were Tamaki - then I could hug Yuu more, and hold her tighter."
The next day, Tamaki is watching her phone like a hawk as she meets up with Yuu and Nagi at school. They all notice Misaki walking around. They witness Misaki noticing Tamaki staring at her, but Misaki looks away immediately. This makes Nagi believe that maybe Tamaki didn't end up meeting with Misaki the night before. However, in the classroom, Nagi notices Tamaki continuously staring at her phone. Yuu comes up to Tamaki's desk and is trying to get her attention, which causes Tamaki to drop her phone. Nagi picks it up and asks her if she's waiting for a message from Misaki, to which Tamaki is like "oh nah, she probs broke her phone or something and just didn't tell me, it's fine." Nagi then thinks to herself, "If you're thinking that much about it, then why are you even going out with Yuu?"
In the next class, Yuu tries to excuse herself from the class. Right after she leaves, Tamaki tries to follow her. Turns out, Yuu went to Misaki's classroom instead of the infirmary, and has Misaki's phone in her hands. Tamaki walks in and is like "wtf you doing here?", and Yuu's like "I'm gonna break Misaki's phone nbd!". Tamaki takes Misaki's phone out of her hands, and apologizes. Yuu knows immediately that Tamaki's apologizing for not being able to love her, and starts getting a little desperate. She says that she'll become Misaki if she has to, but Tamaki tells her not to do that. Tamaki explains that Misaki was the first person to have accepted and returned her feelings, so she tried to play the same role for Yuu, but she can't do it anymore. Tamaki walks out, Yuu tries to follow her, and Nagi for whatever reason is also playing hooky at this point, and Yuu's begging for Tamaki to stay with her. Tamaki gives them one last look before running off, still with Misaki's phone in her hands.
The next day, Yuu comes to school without her overload of makeup (which was presumably her attempt at trying to look like Misaki), and everybody's like "wtf she looks different", and Nagi comes in with her haircut exactly like Tamaki's. She tells Yuu she'll become Tamaki, and compliments Yuu on attending school even after what happened. Yuu tells Nagi that she just wants her to be herself. Nagi says the same thing to Yuu, and tells her she's cute and amazing, and starts crying. Nagi apologizes for crying, but Yuu tells her it's fine, and to cry more.
