Very stupid indeed
They not okay for yamada interact with boi on her school or having relationship with them
But allow it with famous actor
Even allow her mom to do that ...
Just for sake they can market her and can use her to do romantic and sexual thing with other actor Infront of camera

Ugh. No. It’s not “bad”. You’re being nice to your friend. Kindness does not mean you are suddenly interested or involving yourself in sus situations, no matter what the NTR obsessive idiot gremlins who populate this fandom might think. It’s stupid, and really unhealthy to think otherwose.

If I'm not mistaken, he's in the prose SS volume.
Just a reminder that they got set up into confession. It's not like they want to do it in the first place. So having Yamada "rejected" Ichikawa was the only realistic option there to stop it from happening again
I guess you could argue Ichikawa could've just not do it, but I don't think the situation allowed him much of a choice.

So, Ichi's not touching Anna's boobs again anytime soon?
It’s her jobs fault lmao. Ichikawa didn’t ignore her btw. Ichikawa is very understanding of Yamada’s situation caused by her job. Yamada’s job made them both feel lonely, not Ichikawa.
East asian entertainment industry is very toxic and weird. I know Ichikawa admires Yamada’s dedication to her work, but I hope he can admire her even if she stops being in that stupid industry.
Norio is actually hilarious, trying to make me feel all that bad for Yamada, when it's clearly her job that's in the way.
Ichikawa is still the rejected guy in the minds of most students.
Sure, he convinced Yamada to fake reject him in public for the sake of her career but let's not forget how sad she was when she thought she had to give up her audition to spend more time with him and he convinced her to go for it because he hated to be a burden.
Moreover, she didn't want to confront her agency to talk about her relationship, as Ichikawa suggested in chapter 149, but she rather lets herself get manipulated TWICE by Pigman, who told her to put more focus on her career and the agency would count on her to do so and the thing about the Wasuda festival. If the author wanted to make me feel bad for Yamada in this chapter, unfortunately she didn't do the best job.
Thanks for the translation

Dude, there is no “unrealistic” solution. Yamada's mom never perceived Kataoka Ken's attempts to flirt with her as something romantic, and even if she did, the fact that she chose this restaurant only proves that she was going to reject him at the very least, while still seeing him as a friend because he works with her daughter and is a friend of the agency director. Just talking to someone of the opposite sex who has romantic intentions does not make it cheating.
I don't know what you usually read and enjoy, but it seems to influence the fact that in every part that you associate with NTR, you begin to see the worst intentions of the mangaka, as if you had read something that does that, and then assume that everyone who hinted at it in any way will do something similar. When you assumed, based solely on your emotions, that the “evil” Norio was going to do more “NTR” but the editors stopped them, and then you assume the worst plot twists based on your fears. It's as if you read some manga that did something similar and now you're projecting that here. This isn't some spicy, edgy manga that would do that; after reading 178 parts, you could already understand that.
Also, there is simply no NTR in this part. It's clear that Kyotaro was scared because he was at Moeko's house for reasons unrelated to exam preparation and showed a small gesture of care that had no romantic intentions, which simply caused him anxiety about what he was doing in general. Here, a slightly different conflict is being promoted than cheating.
Harem protagonist aura in a monogamous manga
Her manager also very fake on understanding yamada ...he only care about his job and salary...but make himself look good at yamada and ichi POV so he can continue making many thru yamada career

No disrespect, but what exactly does Yamada's job have to do with this? If you had written this under the section where it was discussed, that would be fine, but her career isn't even mentioned here. In addition to this, don't forget that if they want to meet, they have an agreement to ask for it, but they don't do it because of Kyotaro's exams, and he still decided to go help his sister with the video for the song instead. (I have nothing against Kyotaro, he wants to help them and this shows how much he actually cares about others, if he didn't deny empathy for others but not being able to see his girlfriend because of exams doesn't work when you have no problem spending time on something else besides them). It's not Yamada's job that prevents them from meeting somewhere privately. Kyotaro would still prioritize his exams, and that would affect their meetings. It's enough to cite almost any story where priorities in school/work are a source of conflict, without having a character who works in the entertainment industry. Considering that Anna's attempt to give in and just wait for him to pass the exam in order to support him in his goals, as he did with her career, is not evaluated in any way.
Everything is leading up to a plot twist that she will not kiss the actor for the sake of the scenes in this conflict, as many have already claimed. She is not even 16 years old, so believing that this will happen is like believing that MC's would have sex in Karte 157. I see no reason to worry about the fact that the conflict has not been resolved yet, as it will be resolved.
I won't say that this definitely won't happen, as some people think (it's impossible to predict how things will unfold), but at this stage in the story, there is nothing that makes this a viable option. Anna loves her job, and giving it up just for Kyotaro is the wrong reason. He wouldn't be happy if she gave up her dreams for him. Even if something changed in her attitude toward her acting career because of what she encounters, she will continue purely because her acting is one of the things Kyō likes about her. And they are both insecure teenagers who are in that phase of their relationship where they feel the need to conform to be who they think they should be in order to be together. In addition, there needs to be a lot more development in both the plot and the characters for this to be possible, because right now it's not even close, or at least not enough has happened for it to happen, and only Norio knows if there will be such a plot twist or not.
I sympathize, but this situation is not unique to the entertainment industry. It is a typical problem that can arise in adult relationships. There is no guarantee, for example, that Kyotaro will not be too busy in high school, and he is entering the most prestigious private school, where there will be high demands, so he will have significantly less free time. There is a manga where there was a similar problem, called “Blooming Love.” One character is an art college student, the other works in her grandfather's drum-making shop. They also had a problem with dating because they were too busy and didn't see each other in person for two months. One of Ibuki's friends at college even thought he didn't have a girlfriend because he didn't seem like someone who was in a relationship, since he spent almost all his time creating art without taking any days off. Bokuyaba is also known for telling its target audience about the problems of growing up and adult relationships in a more unique way through two 14-15-year-old children, and Anna's career at such a young age is just one of the mouthpieces for conveying this narrative. The goal is for them to overcome these difficulties.
Page 116, lines 8-9 metaphorically shows how they are currently attempting to build their relationship. They are attempting to “follow the recipe” but are failing because of this, and the advice was to constantly form their own “recipe” for a relationship through trial and error.
The answer turned out to be much longer than I planned, my fault, but it's just a very one-sided view of what's wrong with their relationship.

this is gettin lil too much drag arnd.. lemme drop for now
You can’t deny that the biggest hindrance to their relationship is Yamada’s job. I’m not saying it’s the only issue, but it’s clearly the biggest one. If you think that the chapter not mentioning Yamada’s job makes it irrelevant, then you’re completely missing the point. The entire issue of them not being able to meet or spend time together started because of her job. Even if Ichikawa is focused on his exams, they would still find time to see each other if Yamada weren’t stuck in the entertainment industry. And let’s be honest, blaming Ichikawa for helping his sister is unreasonable. That song isn’t just important to his sister, it’s meaningful to him and to Yamada as well. Her job is still the root of the problem, no matter how you look at it or how much it’s ignored in one chapter.
I’m confident Yamada won’t kiss someone else, but pretending the entertainment industry isn’t a threat is naive. I understand she enjoys what she does, especially after Ichikawa’s encouragement, but that doesn’t change the fact that her job constantly puts pressure on both of them. I’m not saying she should abandon her acting or modeling career just for Ichikawa, but I sincerely hope she finds something healthier and more fulfilling. I also believe intimacy should only happen after marriage, so the idea that Yamada could be forced into such scenes doesn’t sit right with me. People underestimate how manipulative and exploitative the entertainment industry can be.
The entertainment industry is toxic whether you like it or not, especially in East Asia. They’re still high school students, not adults, and their relationship shouldn’t be this strained. Everything I’ve said comes from concern, not hate, because I truly dislike what her job does to their bond. I trust Norio-sensei to write a beautiful story about them overcoming these challenges, but let’s not ignore what’s clearly the main cause of their struggles. I’ve seen how the Asian entertainment industry works, and it’s far from pretty. Even in other cultures, it’s not much better in my opinion.
