This is the list of chapters present in the webcomic Advance! Kitakou Broadcasting Club by Hidekaz Himaruya.

Main Storyline

Chapter 1: Abolished Club

At the beginning of a new school year, The student council votes to abolish the broadcasting club, as all it does is eat up funding. At the same time, new student Noto Kanazawa heads to the broadcasting club to inquire about joining, and discovers a student dressed as a ninja hanging from the ceiling, appearing to have committed suicide. Noto begins to freak out, but the ninja (in actuality club president Suzuka Akafuku, who had been hanging there since the previous day. Suzuka is initially upset at Noto for barging in on him, but later becomes excited when Noto is able to understand his bizarre Ninja speech pattern.

Suzuka explains that when he joined during his first year, the broadcasting club was run by third years who just blasted loud and unpleasant music. After they graduated, he attempted to run the club himself, but failed because no one could understand what he was saying. Noto introduces himself, revealing that he had won a prestigious broadcasting award back in Junior High, and has dreamed of attending Kitakou High after watching them win at the Fukushima Nationals eight years ago.

While Suzuka reveals that the broadcasting club has been abolished, he is re-energized by Noto's story and asks the student council president Miyako Owari (one of the few people who seems to understand Suzuka) to reinstate the club for the new member. Impressed by Noto's qualifications, she allows the Broadcasting Club to resume, and wishes them luck. Suzuka, ecstatic, asks Noto to go out with him, which Noto flat-out refuses.

Chapter 2: Eh! Seriously?

The Broadcasting Club has been back in operations for two days, and Noto is confused as to why the upperclassmen have been harassing him. Suzuka reveals that the host club is hated by the third years, who were bullied by the old members of the broadcasting club back when they were first years. As a result, Suzuka believes that Noto may be in harms way, as they have been seeking vengeance ever since. Later, Noto meets with his childhood friend, Iriyoshi Toyama, who is also attending Kitakou High School and is a member of the Electronics Club, and he reiterates Suzuka's fears.

Toyama reveals that bad rumors have been circulating about Noto and that he's cheeky to the third years. He tries to convince Noto to quit the broadcasting club, but Noto says that he'd be miserable without it. However, their conversation is interrupted by a rally outside advocating for the destruction of the broadcasting club. Due to the fighting skills of Suzuka, the mob has gotten the "Big Boss", Hatoba Isahaya, to join their cause (though he appears unconcious and somewhat unaware of what is going on). Against Toyama's advice, Noto decides to go and see what is going on, and gets up on stage to apologize for the club's actions in the past. However, this only serves to further enrage the crowd, who claim that Hatoba will beat him up instead.

Lost Strips/Misc. Strips

Short Story: Showa-era Kitakou

Note: This story was originally from the Pure era, but for some reason it is included in the main storyline on the current Geocities page for Kitakou, between chapters 15 and 16.

Short Story: Randomness

Note: This "story" is actually a collection of strips that could originally be found on the KitaPure page. For some reason, it is included here after chapter 17.5.

Short Story: Christmas

A story that originally came after chapter 17.5. Though it is still listed on the Kitakou page, the link is broken.

"Gaki"

A seven page story detailing how Noto and Toyama met as kids. The story could be found on the Kitakou page in the earliest days of Kitayume (on the Side-B mirror), but appears to have been entirely deleted from the Geocities site.

Kitakou Fantasy

A story that has also been removed, it originally took place between chapters 16 and 17. Its plot is mostly unknown due to only one page existing on Internet archived versions of Kitayume's Side-B mirror. It appears to involve Noto either dreaming or lost in a different world where he encounters fantasy versions of the other characters. The only existing page features the original debut of the Hamamatsu siblings in Kitakou canon.

Chapter 16 (unfinished/scrapped version)

An early version of chapter 16 that comprised four pages. It is notable for the graphic depiction of a woman being shot in the head on-panel.

Yunyun Christmas

Originally featured as part of Kitakou Pure, this strip was inexplicably moved to the main Kitakou page in the remodeling.

The broadcasting club celebrates Christmas.

Radiowave Yunyun

Another story featuring Chako/"Yunyun", this was also originally part of KitaPure but moved to the regular Kitakou page.

A story detailing the past of the Hamamatsu siblings and their bad luck.
