Its actualy a permanent step of progress for the two on their relationship.
The main issue wasnt exactly communication, it was willful ignorange on Kyo's part. He literally admits to it here and in the previous chapter realizes where he is failing by focusing too much on himself and not enough on how she feels.

This arc heavily relies on knowing the subtext of those two and how they think, react, and more importantly; how surprisingly well they are at reading each other.

Anna isnt a subtle girl at all(in many different ways lmao) and Kyo is pretty good at noticing her on topof that, communication wasnt the problem. He was keeping her at arms length for a long time and she was feeling incredibly lonely for it, yet, the ever so selfish and un-subtle Yamada Anna still bit her tounge and held back for his sake. While he was fully devoting himself to studies and neglecting her, he suddenly goes to hang out with a couple very attractive girls and hangs out with them.

He didnt tell her cause he felt guilty about betraying her like that. He knew why she was upset but wasnt being honest (hence the repeated "be honest" past chap). She knew he knew and was dissapointed he was still keeping her at arms length.

Anna is needy and clingy AS FUCK, she's self aware and tries to keep it under control but it still hurts. TLDR: she was just sad that he gave others priority and was still keeping distance from her.

PROOF it wasnt a communication issue: Kyo knew exactly what to say to get her attention, then said what he had to after getting it.
Nah it gets to a point where that doesn’t work. It’s bad communication on both of them and the “seeing the signs” shit will only work for so long.

I have many feelings about this “mini-arc.”

My understanding of Yamada’s problem was that Ichi wasn’t spending much time with her, and she was angry because he spent time with Moe when he could have spent time with his girlfriend. Ichi realized that Yamada was sad but that he had ignored her, and he felt he shouldn’t have.

I’m very sad that the first thing he thought was to call himself “trash,” when he didn’t do anything wrong. The only time (shown to us) he broke his study routine was to visit a friend. Was it the right choice not to visit Moeko? Was he supposed to ignore all his other relationships because Yamada exists? Is he supposed to always prioritize her in every single instance?

But I also don’t want to place any blame on Yamada. She’s a teenager in her first relationship, heavily spoiled, and her boyfriend — who she hasn’t spent much time with recently — was visiting his friend’s house instead of studying like he told her he would. Sadness and anger are to be expected.

The “resolution” (in quotes because this issue could resurface) felt a bit incomplete to me, but the most important thing is that they came to an understanding, even if I don’t fully agree with it.

Really, the missing piece for a healthy resolution (at least in my eyes) would be Ichi realizing he isn’t a “pile of trash” for not being with his girlfriend 24/7, and Yamada realizing that she can feel sad even if it's not rational to expect someone’s undivided attention.

However, a healthy resolution doesn’t mean a more interesting one, and this conflict resurfacing later is an interesting plotline. Given the quality of this manga, I trust Norio’s choices.

In the end, I liked it. It made me think a lot, which is a good sign. I hope for more sweet and wholesome moments in the future, though.

I do think that it wasn't the most serious, but a sort of prelude to what adversity will come later you know?
Not every argument or problem has to be a big big problem, sometimes they're small like this.
But it sows seeds for bigger conflicts to happen.
Like others said, it's a band-aid onto potentially a bigger upcoming problem, only resolved so he can lock in on the exam.

What was even the issue??

This mini-arc just reminded me why Moe would have been such a better FMC in this manga than Yamada lol
Lol, in my country we call this "Nibba Nibbi" issues, and not it's not the N word, it's Hindi.

It just means teenagers do weird shit in relationship, which 99% of the times doesn't make sense, so nvm them.

They’re quite literally 15. They might act and think that they're more mature at times but they’re still middle school children.
