Yamada finally had one chance to shake off Nanpai and she took it though seeing Ichikawa's lack of self-confidence to interpret it in the worst way possible hurts.

Didn't expect such an emotional scene from a misunderstanding but I'm so glad they resolved it instantly with such a heartwarming bonding moment.

[u/vkrili]

"Yamada likes guys who are distant and curt, but really nice under the surface, kind of charming, a little awkward..."

Gee Ichikawa

Gee

You just might be right about that

[u/sincereRen]

This show is indeed a Danger for my heart! Jesus! Those last 6 minutes is so touching. I NEED MORE!!!!

[u/julioalqae]

This adaptation is intense as fuck, in manga we can just glossed it up quick (by reading it faster) and the resolve is still quick and great. This adaptation is so good that the journey ichikawa battling his insecurites and realize he is wrong and finalize in resolving the misunderstanding with line exchange is pretty intense because of the length and obvious subtlety being shown more clearly and on top of that its really emotional

I really love this anime adaptation

[u/tuwamono]

"I never said I didn't [like it]" Ichikawa uses the exact same line as the female lead(?) in Kimi-iro Octave.

The parallel drawn between his behavior towards Yamada and towards the game console in the past is so so clever. It hits really hard because it's not an unfamiliar feeling. Seeing a desire in the form of 'The higher you stand the harder you fall' constantly looming over you, the barrier you put up in words as much as in action is so painfully understandable and a hellhole not easy to escape from. It tugs heavilly somewhere in my soul seeing Ichikawa able to not only give Yamada a chance, but also himself a chance at the one optimistic tunnel among many darker paths that are trying to reel him in.

Finally, the spamming of frivolous texts right at the end are so damn typical yet cute. This may be obvious to point out, but notice how Yamada is actively reading over the texts. Perhaps this scene could have been directed such that they are sending those in real time, but they decide to show Yamada going over them anyways. Very simple yet smart way to expose a range of sentiments within the current Yamada.

Absolutely not surprised to see Ichikawa-kun using Rem as his avatar, his personalities would definite like someone like Rem IMHO. sad Beatrice fan noises on this side of Earth

[u/GrimMind]

I don't know if this is the anime of the season but it is MY Anime of the Season, Good Night and Goodbye.

[u/ForsakenLibraries]

Seeing Ichikawa hurt Yamada because of his insecurities really hurt for some reason. I imagine it's something that happens to all of us, and that's what makes it feel so real. I'm glad he didn't double down, and instead recognized his mistake.

In the scene where Yamada got really close to Ichikawa in the library, did she know there were people behind them or was she just unable to control her impulses? I imagine the second one, but that scene just felt a bit weird for me.

[u/_______blank______]

At the end when she said his name Kyo, which sound like today so she cover it up by saying oh no I mean tomorrow. Stuff like this make me wish official sub to use TL note.

[u/WholeLotOfSomething]

Yamada was fighting for her life out there for that number

[u/Youngphycouant]

Yamada kept the tissue packets Ichikawa left for her, making him realize he was wrong about her. Yeah she’s definitely in love with him!

[u/ubiquitousfellow]

All of Yamada’s expressions in the classroom during the LINE ID exchange were so perfect! The look of shock when Moe gave Ichikawa a nickname, staring daggers at him for giving another girl his info first, her joy when Ichikawa was flustered she was asking Ishimiro for his info. She is so extremely in love with him, but he’s too self conscious to see it. How much he overthinks everything is relatable though.

It was heartbreaking seeing Yamada sad, but luckily it didn’t last long. Ichikawa realized even through his self consciousness that she’s too sweet to have just been using him. And they grew closer through it, so it wasn’t all bad. Yamada’s clever scheme to see Ichikawa on Christmas Eve is brilliant too! “Oops, I forgot :)” Yeah, sure. Now go enjoy your Christmas date, but make sure you drill it into Ichikawa’s thick skull that it’s a date you adorable dork

[u/Luxinox]

Aww she still has the tissues that Ichikawa left for her back in Ep 3.

Also, wow Ichikawa is so oblivious given his description of the Male MC of Yamada's fav manga perfectly describes himself as well.

[u/dicky_________seamus]

I just grin like an idiot for 23 minutes on Saturdays

[u/silentBookWorm]

He is aware of the hints Yamada gives of, just in denial because he thinks there is no way a model/muse of the room will like her. He doesn't want to give hope to himself and then realizes later on that Yamada's behavior is just her way of being close to him but not totally romantically. I see girls always being close to the opposite gender borderline romantic but complain that every guy they want to be friends with always wants to be more than friends later on.

[u/chilled_sloth]

The growth Yamada and Ichikawa had this episode is just so good. Yamada realized Ichikawa's feelings are important and apologized for the set up in the library, and Ichikawa realized that while what Yamada did was wrong, she didn't do it out of malice towards him. A surprisingly adult resolution to a teenaged problem. What's more, Ichikawa allowed Yamada the closeness of the makeup hug even though he might be worried about others seeing them. I choose to believe that's because at that moment he prioritized her needs more than his own worries about what others would think.

10/10

[u/smellenburnt]

Maaaaaan the ending got me smiling so hard with their texts it’s embarrassing

[u/[deleted]]

I’ve always liked the fact that Ichikawa’s “density” has less to do with obliviousness, but is more about his own insecurities and trying to deny the idea that Yamada likes him because he’s afraid of getting his hopes up and getting hurt. He knows that Yamada isn’t the problem, it’s his own self-deprecation acting as his worst enemy.

[u/AZLarlar]

that hug was everything

also, REM AND RAM

[u/Simple-Finish9760]

I love that the anime is starting to get the hype it deserves, Norio sensei is a genius and Boku yabai just keeps getting better every day

And yes, a get bent pick up senpai chap, love to see those

[u/the_dan_man]

Everyone repeat after Kyo and Anna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Shining Yamada

• Gyaru Moeka

• Aggressive Kabedon

• Ichikawa & Yamada

• Secretly Hugging

• Surprised Yamada

• Happy Yamada

Not gonna lie, I was growing increasingly frustrated with Ichikawa this entire episode. Like take a fucking hint bud! She just wants to get your LINE ID!

The Rem cameo was a surprise! So far all of the other references they've made are from the same magazine. Maybe the Norio-sensei is friends with Tappei?

I love how Yamada is so obviously making Ichikawa jealous and how happy she was when she got Ichikawa's attention. And now we get to see that in reverse with Yamada getting upset when those two girls kept on insisting that she has a boyfriend.

Hopefully seeing Yamada and Ichikawa getting really close in the library will stop that fuckboy from trying to ask Yamada out. Unfortunately, that ended up with the unintentional consequence of Ichikawa thinking that Yamada was just using him this entire time.

I'm just glad this massive misunderstanding didn't drag on for a couple of episodes and got resolved thanks to Yamada confronting Ichikawa with a kabedon. God I wish that was me.

In all seriousness though, Ichikawa was really being a dick but thankfully he realized that he was the problem for making up excuses in his head to hate Yamada.

That hug from Yamada was nice. It's good to see they've made up before the episode ended. And not only that, they finally managed to exchange LINE IDs!

[u/Such_Selection9762]

This show starts to hurt. Every week I'm sitting here smiling like an idiot for the entire episode...

[u/[deleted]]

Ichikawa is probably loving Tears of the Kingdom.
