I kind of understand the thought process of why Ichikawa decided to confess at the moment. he knows that Yamada likes him, so he thinks that her going along with the trip instead of the audition was just to make Ichikawa like her/fall for her more so he probably thinks that if Yamada knows that he likes her too she wont hold herself back anymore and just go do her dreams or whatever.

Hara san truly pointed out how pointless the "problem" with Ando (mask girl)'s flash mob is. No idea why that was even a thing in the first place.

Also Ichikawa could've easily gotten out of that though. since he knows most of the girls there he could easily just say "ive been mistaken as kobayashi so sensei forced me in. can you guys let me out?" plus Yamada is there. she'll just vouch for him. or explain for him to get him outta there.

It's happened in the manga before – during chocolate preparation with Yamada's mother. They are middle school students and they keep assuming the worst will happen in these embarrassing situations.

Yamada hid Ichikawa for the reason, that both of them want to keep their relationship a secret (see Yamada's letter to Hanzawa-san in chapter 102). Kankan (the mask girl) is a manifestation of the part of Japanese culture that was brought up on the MangaDex forum for a previous chapter. The classmates/schoolmates/colleagues gossiping about people dating in Japan puts a lot of pressure on the couples. It gets so bad sometimes that it's easier for people to break up, than to deal with it. People attribute it to Japan being a more collectivist society than the very individualistic Western countries.

Ahh... so this is where the 'he ends up stuck in the girls' room' thing happens in the manga. I personally liked it happening the prior night, to be honest. It's also when the short scene at dinner happens, but I kinda liked it being a moment of reflection on Kyo's part in the anime. I just really liked how the anime had everything come to a head so she could actually depart right after the confession/push for the audition, and most everything else was able to shift before it reasonably well.

Having to hide him makes a lot more sense before Kanna's been told off about the flashmob nonsense and trying to force couples together prematurely like she does, and Anna leaving flows better the way it was handled in the anime, too, I feel, so far. Though I can't say that for sure until I see her actual departure in the manga, I still really like the whole sequence of them separating right after the confession so Anna has no time to give her response, anyway.

Oh shit, and that's also where Chii puts herself down about being a bad leader and Kyo reassures her! Holy shit.

Yeah. Anime basically did just about this whole volume better, in my opinion, with the final four episodes. It's becoming more and more clear to me as I read and rewatch. This is still nice to see in manga form, but I am glad the anime version exists so much more.

Sensei: "my work here is done."
Ichikawa: "But you didn't do anything."
Sensei: smirks "Didn't I?"

“Yamada will always be Yamada.”

Not if she takes your name.
