Valentine's Day Sucks! (バレンタインデーはせつないね, Barentaindē ha Setsunai ne, "Valentine's Day is Painful") is the one hundred and eighty-sixth chapter of Initial D.
Plot[]
On Valentine's Day, Natsuki brings in chocolate for the gas station crew. She gives some to Iketani and Yuichi, but teases Takumi by making it out as though she isn't giving any to him. He sulks off, and Natsuki gives him a special chocolate, bigger than the ones for the others. Natsuki wonders where Itsuki is, and Takumi tells her that he had headed to school just in case he got any chocolate.
At school, Itsuki wonders around. He remembers he forgot to mark which locker is his, and runs to do so.
Later on, Itsuki continues to roam around the school. He notices Shiraishi, and wonders if she's just there to study. A group of girls recognise Itsuki, and he thinks they want to give him some chocolate. One of the girls approaches him, and asks him if he can give some chocolate to Takumi for them, much to his disappointment.
At the end of the day, Itsuki still hasn't received any chocolate, and decides to check his locker just in case, but it is empty. He checks Takumi's before he leaves, and sees that there are two more gifts in it.
Some time later, Itsuki shows up at the gas station, and gives Takumi his chocolate. Iketani tells Itsuki that Natsuki got him some chocolate, but Natsuki says that she had given it away to a homeless man, as she didn't think he would show up.
Several days later, Shiraishi calls Takumi out to the train station.
