Later, he passes Shiraishi on the stairs, and as they glare at each other contemptuously, he trips, falling down on her. When Yamada comes to he is in the infirmary, and he finds that he is in Shiraishi's body. Eventually he finds Shiraishi who is likewise in his body, and they agree to meet after school to try to do something to return to their own bodies. During the school day as Shiraishi, Yamada learns that the beautiful honour student's life is not without its problems, as she's being bullied. While he is still in her body he gets it into his mind to help stop people from bullying her. He tries to attack one of the bullies, making as if to punch her but intending to stop just short of hitting her, but Shiraishi in his body interposes himself and gets punched instead. This is enough, however, to make the bullies believe Shiraishi is no longer to be trifled with. They attempt to return to their bodies by falling down the stairs as before, but this doesn't work, but eventually they figure out that the body swap is effected by a kiss. They attempt to use this strange power to their advantage, but one of the student council vice presidents, Miyamura, figures out what they are up to.

Itou Miyabi eventually convinces the three of them to let her join the club. She turns out to have a bit of a mania about supernatural phenomena and produces a lot of junk that are supposedly supernatural artefacts. Her presence puts a bit of a damper on Yamada and Shiraishi's plans to use the club room as a secret place to perform their body swapping. Eventually, however, she catches Yamada and Shiraishi kiss, and infuriated, she begins to spread rumours around the school that the two of them are dating. In an attempt to undo the damage, he tells Itou the truth about the body swap power, and performs it on her to prove it. It turns out that Itou is known for spreading tall tales and no one really believed her. It turns out that she left the school in Yamada's body in an attempt to intimidate the punks who duped her into buying the fake supernatural artefacts, but it turns out that even in Yamada's body she is unable to fight them off. Yamada shows up in her body and manages to beat up the punks. This earns him Itou's gratitude, and her fascination at experiencing a true supernatural phenomenon. She has them experiment systematically with the body swap powers.

Runtime: 25 minutes

Inexplicably, however, he sees through the ruse, realising he is still talking to Yamada, but offers them a deal to provide the club with funding. He tells them how Shiraishi, despite her excellent performance in school, refuses to enter college after graduating. He wants to know why and to convince her to do so, as it would be a disgrace for the school for their best student not to go on to higher education. One day, Yamada swaps bodies with Shiraishi while she is very sick, giving him a chance to see her house and find out why she refuses to go to college. He realises she is a sad and lonely girl. He manages to convince her to go to college after graduating after he says he plans to go himself as well.

She tries to get Yamada to convince Shiraishi to not attend the mock exam a couple of days later. He tries to use the body swap power on Odagiri in an attempt to delete the incriminating photos but finds that the power does not work on her. After kissing both Itou and Miyamura to test, he finds that he is no longer able to swap bodies. After they get back from the school trip, he finds that Itou and Miyamura have fallen in love with him. It seems that he lost the power to swap bodies and instead charms people whom he kisses.

Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-05-10
Yamada, now possessing the ability to charm people he kisses, constantly puts off kissing Shiraishi, fearful that this new power he has will affect her. He seeks out Odagiri, attempting to settle things with her, instead chasing off some of her flunkies, who seem to be under a similar influence as Itou and Miyamura had after Yamada kissed them. Odagiri however, also seems to be similarly in love with Yamada, much to the consternation of her supporters. Eventually Shiraishi convinces Yamada to kiss her, warning her about possible consequences, but instead their bodies swap as before. They deduce that the power to swap bodies is innate to Shiraishi, just as the charm power is innate to Odagiri, and Yamada has the ability to copy the powers of those he kisses. Odagiri and Igarashi Ushio, one of her supporters, see the two of them kiss, and this devastates Odagiri who is still under his spell. Igarashi used to be one of Yamada's friends but they had a falling out after he got Yamada suspended by covering for Odagiri, whom he is in love with. They eventually work out a deal with Odagiri, getting her to delete the incriminating photos in exchange for undoing the charm powers.

Yamada swaps bodies with Shiraishi, and after his performance seems to markedly improve Otsuka kisses "him". This leads Shiraishi to suspect that Otsuka is yet another witch, so she has Otsuka kiss Yamada again when he is in his own body. Her power turns out to be telepathy, and by incorporating Miyamura into their telepathic network they manage to pass the supplementary exams and obtain the key.

She kisses Yamada, who receives her powers, and they understand that the visions are from someone kissed. Yamada finds out that Sarushima earlier kissed another transfer student named Tsubaki. Yamada finds him, and learns that he has a crush on Shiraishi, and that he likes to fry tempura in the old school building whenever he is depressed. He is thus evidently the direct cause of the fire in the visions. To prevent the fire from happening, Yamada tries to swap bodies with Tsubaki, but he resists. He returns to Tsubaki in Shiraishi's body, bringing him out on a date in an attempt to stall for time, but before Tsubaki can confess his love, Shiraishi comes out and kisses him.

Air Date: 2015-05-31

Yamada has difficulty reaching her at first, but she perks up immediately when the topic of the witches comes up, which makes him very suspicious. As it seems that the powers of the witches are inherited by students who are troubled in some way, Takigawa's plan seems to be to make her friends obtain these powers by making them similarly troubled and removing the present set of witches. Takigawa's group attempts to get Shiraishi expelled by using her body swap powers against her and causing trouble while in her body, but the Club is one step ahead. Takigawa's friend winds up swapping bodies with Yamada in Shiraishi's body, who overpowers her companions. After they negotiate with Takigawa to release her friends, Yamada confronts her and he finds her power is to see traumatic events in the past of a person she kisses.

They learn of Tamaki Shinichi, who has the ability to steal a witch's powers. He already took the power of invisibility from the witch Asuka Mikoto. He bargains with Yamada, getting him to look into the future to see who will become next student council president, as he has sights on the position himself. The student council president says that he will appoint as his successor whoever is able to identify the seventh and final witch. Yamada kisses Sarushima again and sees a vision of the future where Tamaki becomes president after taking Sarushima's powers and he has Shiraishi as his secretary.

Miyamura introduces the club to his sister, Leona, who dropped out of school, terrified of the Seventh Witch's powers to make people forget everything about the witches. Yamada later meets the Seventh Witch, Saionji Rika, whose powers seem not to require a kiss. He seems unaffected, and still seems to remember everything. He returns to the Supernatural Research Club and is shocked to find that Saionji's powers have instead affected everyone else, and because they knew him only from their work with the witches, they have all, including Shiraishi, forgotten about him. He teams up with Tamaki, who seems to be the only other person in school who seems to remember anything. Tamaki suggests a plan that requires Odagiri's charm powers, so Yamada convinces her to kiss him. As they do this, Shiraishi sees them, and she bursts into tears without understanding why.

Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-06-21
Yamada tries to explain to Shiraishi what was going on but she cannot accept the explanation and refuses to kiss him. The next day he runs into Odagiri who now seems to remember everything: Yamada can undo Saionji's powers on the witches by kissing them. Saionji meets up with Yamada again, and tells him that the reason the Seventh Witch's name is kept secret is because if one can gather all the witches together any wish can be granted by performing a special ritual. Saionji's powers fail to affect Odagiri a second time, so Yamazaki tries to take more drastic measures. He has the student council issue a warning about a "kissing bandit" in the school, which makes Yamada's attempts at restoring the memories of the other witches harder. He offers Odagiri a deal, noting that she has truly fallen in love with Yamada herself, that he would make her wish come true if she hindered Yamada's plans. She refuses, knowing that she would never be able to compel Yamada's love that way, that he would always be looking at Shiraishi. He then sends out notices to all the witches to gather at a certain place and time: he is attempting to perform the wish-granting ritual. Yamada then has to perform the ritual himself before Yamazaki. Tamaki and Odagiri try to find Saionji and convince her to help, but she refuses, and hints that Yamazaki may be planning to perform the ceremony to eliminate Yamada altogether. Despite Yamazaki's efforts Yamada is able to get to Ootsuka, Sarushima, and Takigawa. He tries to reach Shiraishi and finds that Yamazaki has gotten to her first, and it is Asuka Mikoto in her body.
