Plot

Following the events with Shoko Makinohara, Sakuta is celebrating Mai's graduation, studying for his university entrance exams, and seeing his sister Kaede return to school. During a meeting with the school counselor regarding where she wants to go to high school, Kaede is given doubts when she expresses she wants to go to Sakuta's school. The counselor points out her absences and that an online-based high school may be better, which Kaede retreats to her room after hearing while Sakuta and their father ponder the choices.

Still unsure about the online school, Sakuta attends an orientation class and discovers it may be a good fit for Kaede after seeing testimonials from other students including idol Uzuki Hirokawa. Sakuta asks Kaede again where she would like to go to school and she reaffirms Minegahara is the place she wants to go. With tutoring from Mai, Nodoka, and Sakuta, Kaede feels confident with her exams and turns in the application form. Sakuta though notices her bruises from her previous bout with her Puberty Syndrome and confronts Kaede about keeping it secret. He tells her she can always count on him to help her; reassuring her confidence to go back to the real world.

On the day of the exams, Sakuta is called into the school as Kaede fell ill during lunch. At the nurses office, Kaede tells him she did well on the tests she took thanks to the tutoring, but ran into a former classmate which brought back her memories of bullying; with her bruises returning. She scolds Sakuta, asking if he supported her or the "other Kaede" and didn't do what was best for his sister. Sakuta laments and gathers her items from the exam room and reads the journal "Kaede" kept previously. When they return home, Sakuta shows Kaede the brochure from the online school and calls Nodoka for a favor.

While out on a walk, Sakuta and Kaede run into a live event from the idol group Sweet Bullet. Sakuta informs Kaede that the lead singer; Uzuki also attends the online school. Though wanting to be normal like most kids, online classes aren't much different and though it is alternative, Uzuki is living a full life as well. After the show, Sakuta, Kaede, Nodoka, and Uzuki take a drive which Kaede asks questions about what the school life is like and whether or not she should attend as well. Uzuki confides that her own upbringing was similar which she skipped traditional school at first which lead to her leaving and attending school online. When Kaede asks which one was better, Uzuki said both have their positives. Kaede decides to enroll in online school and shows her friend what is available to her which makes her happy.

Production

The project was initially announced during the Aniplex Online Fest event in September 2022.

[4]

Around one year after the end of the production of the television series and the previous film, in an event Masui was asked about his interest about making the sequel by the producer of the anime. When the production of the previous film just finished, Masui knew there were the eighth and ninth volumes of the novel series and wanted to make the sequel already at that time. Although he showed his interest immediately, it took a long time to gather the staff again and kick start the production, as the production team was once dismissed and the staff had other jobs scheduled already. From the very beginning he wanted to have Yokotani and Tamura joining the production again, and it took no time for Yokotani to start writing the script. [5]
