It's pretty obvious from the way she was covering the name but Yamada definitely knew they switched shirts when she put it on, and was definitely giving the shirt a sniff. There's a lot of theories that people who are more compatible tend to enjoy each other's scents (no I don't mean weird stuff...
@Mervina It seemed a bit like a test. If he went in with her he'd see Yamada and have to explain why he went to another girls home late on New Years. However, Norio doesn't seem like the kind of author that does that stuff so maybe Moe did want Ichi to see Yamada which is much cuter.
Can we just appreciate that Ichi thought it would be "lovely" if he stood on the lower step of the escalator? Tried to be on the offensive but Yamada was having none of it. 😝
Yamada remembered Ichi is a good artist from the drawing he gave her earlier. I'm sure she still has it, I wonder when it'll appear again. Maybe if Ichi ever gets to see her room.
Kinda wish the author would would do flashbacks to parts of their lives other than middle-school. It's like they just transformed into married adults with a kid and it's started to feel a bit 1-dimensional.
