Chiyo watches in stunned, silent horror. Her entire worldview collapses. The boy she loved as a pure, innocent hero is now on his knees with another girl's underwear in his mouth. She cannot process this.

The final blow comes when (who is obsessed with Kiyoshi due to an earlier accident where he saw her urinate) publicly reveals that Kiyoshi never actually peeped on the girls' bath at the start of the series. The original peeping incident was a lie to protect Hana's secret. This means Kiyoshi and the other boys were imprisoned and tortured for months for a crime they didn't commit.

To decide the final victor, a tie-breaker "Wet T-Shirt Contest" is held. Kiyoshi, forced by Hana, pretends to have installed cameras to peep on the contest. Chiyo is heartbroken, believing he is a peeping tom.

In the final pages of the manga, Chiyo, with dead, hollow eyes, looks at Kiyoshi and says the last line of the series:

Chiyo, realizing Kiyoshi is completely innocent, is overjoyed. She rushes to confess her love to him, believing her pure hero has returned. This is where Chiyo's story becomes one of the most controversial and darkly comedic endings in manga.

Just as Chiyo is about to confess to Kiyoshi, Hana Midorikawa intercepts them. To prove that Kiyoshi is hers , Hana in front of Chiyo.
