I mean this sort of thing will happen WAY MORE as they get older and when Yamada's career takes off seriously. This is nothing next to all the other hardship that awaits them as a normie and an up and coming actress pair who needs to hide their involvement and live completely separate lives and social circles. Though it's a shounen romcom so the obvious outcome will be ignored to end it on a high note.

I admit that this took me a while to understand what is going on with Yamada. Both are at fault. Kyo is just a man. He doesn’t perceive things may be seen as cheating even if they are not.
Yamada on the other hand is a young girl. She doesn’t know that she has to be vocal with her man. Expressing once desires to another is a skill we learn almost all of our life.

Yamada's approach to feeling wronged is usually to retreat and wait for the other party to realize what's wrong on their own

  • When Chi was going to go to pickup senpai's party even when Yamada didn't want to
  • When Kyo told their teacher he had "no friends"
  • Sort of happened in the Moe argument but she acknowledged she was in the wrong.
She shuts down because she's afraid of burdening others. It's childish but it's out of insecurity and she's a little spoiled (remember how she acted with grandpa earlier this volume).

We need HER pov right now, a in depth and detailed POV not just a 3 panel flashback.

The author is piling up way too much of the blame on him recently. Both sides are at fault, now show her own inner struggles and stop mystery boxing her thoughts so much.

She is as much of a main character as him, so TREAT HER LIKE A MAIN CHARACTER TOO.
Yamada no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu moment?

I genuinely think this is bs. Sure he didnt immediately spend time with her but its not like it wasnt the same case with her acting. Feels like there is some bias going on instead of a proper equal relationship. Poor excuse of a drama to be honest

Just so yall know, it's OK to not make your entire life about the one you're dating. Everyone has their own lives to live and only spending time with one person is codeoendance, not love. Yamada is over reacting but they're kids, so of course they both will
But they really aren't making their whole lives about each other though.. they're both incognito in public as well as separated for like 80% of the time

Keeping things hidden is reaching critical mass for Yamada's endurance, even if she understands deep down it's not entirely his fault. She's a teenager, plus all the stress already on her for her career and already not a secretive person I'm surprised she hasn't completely crashed out harder yet.

Saw this coming the moment that pink brat showed up with her confession games. I doubt they'll break up, but someone's gonna catch hell eventually.

It seems to me that Ichikawa has become overly cautious with all these restrictions and boundaries in his attempts to protect Yamada, but it also seems to me that he is afraid that the agency will find out about their relationship and forbid Yamada from seeing him, and that she will agree to this. so he is acting so cautiously to avoid this scenario because he is afraid of losing Anna. But at the same time, he denies his own fear by looking for excuses for his actions, convincing himself of them.

Not sure why almost everyone's arguing like it's a single, detached moment behind all of this when it's actually the culmination of basically their whole relationship dynamic so far. Sure they're both partly to blame, but Kyo really has been the driving force in making it what it is.

Even though Yamada values her career, she's always been striving for them to be together more, advancing the relationship and prioritizing it over other things at times. Kyo on the other hand, while a noble idea, has taken the opposite position and denied this believing he's doing her a favor by putting the relationship second, even if he at the core doesn't want to.

Having these numerous situations piled up it's easy to understand why Yamada is genuinely doubting Kyo's commitment and how important their relationship is to him. I think people are being too hard on her and not seeing the bigger picture. The entire point is showing the faults of Kyo only considering what he thinks is best for her/them, not what Yamada wishes for, and because she loves him and knows he has good intentions, she bitterly accepts it nonetheless

I think which side people take usually varies depending on where they are. For example, on Twitter, people tend to be more inclined to call out Kyotaro, while here they are more sympathetic to him and call out Yamada. I think it's easier for users here to empathize with him because he seems closer to them, and also because we usually see the story from his point of view.


But yes, I think when things like this happen, people sometimes start to lose sight of the nuances.

Ya know, it's moments like this that makes me glad dating and the like was never on my radar. I get enough arguments with myself in my own head, I don't have processing power to deal with other people!

Could be, there's absolutely distinct differences between websites. In that case it only makes it all the more important to present a different perspective on here though
