With all the romantic momentum built up between Junta and Nagisa to this point, it’s a bit of a letdown that they don’t appear together in the final sequence. There’s apparently a practice of girls wearing their boyfriends’ jackets, and when she hears that it makes them smell different, she takes a moment to take in Junta’s musk. On the day of the physicals, Nagisa sports pigtails, and causally borrows Junta’s P.E. Nagisa then proposes they compare heights, and in the process, she creates a situation where it looks like Junta has her in a wall slam situation. With class physicals coming up, both Junta and Nagisa wonder if they got taller (why they couldn’t just measure themselves at home, I don’t know).

She then asks him what his favorite haristyle for a girl is, and gets him to admit it might be a ponytail. Nagisa, in turn, invites Junta to run his fingers through her hair, which is must silkier. She gently brushes the chalk out of his hair, which she notes is thicker than she thought.

She wins a staring contest, then snuggles up to Junta when he gets dusted chalk powder.

While Junta remains stubbornly, irritatingly oblivious to what’s going on, that doesn’t stop Nagisa from having fun wherever she can get.
