Oh, is the manga gonna explore the fact that "being an adult doesn't make you suddenly invincible, you still have your stress, your fears and such"?

It could be nice to see that.

Also, happy to see Ichikawa getting alone with his father in law. :huh:

Does any expert know if Anna, being a minor, is actually allowed to film scenes like the ones shown on the last page? In the West, adult actors are typically used to play teenagers, mainly for legal and ethical reasons. Since I’m not very familiar with Japanese series and movies, I’m curious how it works over there.

Thanks for the chapter!

Well, I think kissing and sus scenes are part of acting, I mean I know movies where partners of actors (albeit popular) came to the set to make sure that their partners were not too intimate with their heroines/heroes in sus scenes, BBBBBBUT!!!!

BUT, Anna is freaking 14, so yea, I don't think due to any reason other actors should even touch a 14 year old, heck, touch a under 18 year old like that, so that's that.

I really wish Yamada herself feels that it's uncomfortable to be part of projects and scenes which demand her to be physical, and chooses not to engage with them by her own volition.

Many people like to claim that Kyo has gotten over it, and while that may be true to some extent, it's perfectly reasonable and valid for him to be wary of what her work entails

Kiss can be faked, and what is a bra but a lacy swimsuit. Still yes, questions abound about her being a minor doing those things.
It's not just the fact of her being a minor, it's both Yamada and Kyo opposing those scenes as well. ''What is a bra but a lacy swimsuit'', well it's her being in underwear in front of and engaging with guys who are not her boyfriend

Hm, can't say I ever really liked the decision of the author to focus more on Yamada's acting career and the troubles it causes for her and Ichikawa's relationship. I still enjoy the manga because of it's general strengths (solid relationship progress, fun MC's etc.) but chapters like this one, where it's reinforced how Yamada's job separates these two, don't sit quite right with me.
