Don't bother! This guy won't stop. Either it's a troll or mentally defunct in simple analysis.It's what he says in the chapter
"Even if we dodge this, it'll just keep coming up, in that case..."
Nothing's stopping him from telling Kanna to leave them alone. But getting it over with and having Yamada reject him stops it from happening again.
A bit of her arc is that she lacks self awareness and is selfish to a degree. Both of these things are stuff that you learn to deal with during adolescence. That being said she struggles with putting others first. She has tried it before with the audition and the school trip and understandably couldn't commit and broke down when push came to shove. Ichikawa just doesn't want her to compromise her happiness for him because he's put her on a bit of a pedestal and would not want her to be sad because of something that she did for him. All of these things leave room for growth.Yamada doesn't want to put herself first. That's why ichikawa has to push her to do so every time. I fully believe she'll be there for ichi when he actually needs her to.
You admire the thing in others that you lack yourself. That's why this isn't growth, it's just an expression of his character and his undervaluing of himself. He's fine being in the shadows because he puts Yamada on too much of a pedestal. Looks based attractions are shallow.Also... can someone walk me through page 11? She is, once again, deep down she still has that selfish impulse and his retort is that this is what he loves about her. Why?
With this expansion of the thought, it might not be entirely wrong. It's always important to read this series keeping in mind that Norio-sensei's self-insert is, in fact, Ichikawa.lots of himejoshis i follow on twitter love bokuyaba saying its yuri, and i wasn't completely sold on that argument despite being a himejoshi myself and liking the series, but i have to admit this was yuri as hell
editing in my stance since the class is confused:
ok, so there are three points in my argument, starting off broad and vague then going to specific
1) where a lot of straight romantic comedy and drama works are defined by a progression of courtship, a majority of yuri works are more interested in the exploration of relationships that already exist, whether it be a steady couple, a pair engaged in physical intemacy despite not being official, or long term friends that can more closely share the same space than traditional boy and girl friendship would be able to allow. of course a lot of romcoms stick around after the main pair confesses (ie bokuyaba) so this is why this is a broad condition
2) yuri works consistently focus on how social forces constrain or set norms for couples. the relationship has to be negotiated to fit into a wider world because it is deemed different or bad. bokuyaba shares this as anna and kyou are right now working around how anna has to fit as a "pure actress," without scandal
3) lipstick is a traditionally feminine object. the lipstick is applied to kyoutaro, a feminizing act. the lipstick remains the focus of the scene as the kiss is also framed as a way to apply the lipstick to anna.
q.e.d. regardles of author intent, at this moment bokuyaba falls under the framing, context and content of a yuri work
This is why i thought there had to be a better way. Even if just rejecting the entire premise was the way, though, it probably wouldn't put an end to the dating rumors ("he didn't confess because they're already 'that' way"). But, then, neither does the way they took ("they had to put on an act because she's in entertainment, after all").or he could, you know, just not grab the bouquet and leave?
these 2 chapters have me like

- is it because this fallability is something human and her sharing this with him is strenghtening their bond?
- is it because he understands that while this is something she should work on, her distressed current state is not the best time to bring this up since now is the time for reassurance?
- is it because he thinks that putting yourself first in that situation is the absolute right thing to do and her getting that shows that they both are at the same wavelength in regards to this?
- Is it because he admires her maturity in looking at what's best for her in the future and not right now? As in, sure coming clean now would be great but what is the fallout for her career and stuff?
I'm sure this is not even a question to most people lol.okay chat
is this better than rental
(talking to myself)
Oh shit she was !? I'm going to have to go back and re read it. This chapter is so amazing and I love the ending. ^^Though you can see in Chii's face on page 8 that something seems weird to her. She's looking at Kyo for two panels while everyone's going to Anna.
