The difference here radicates in Mai Sakurajima being an established position in the entertainment industry. Albeit some lack of realism could be there, she left that industry by opposing to be a gravure model (but she honored that contract first), so that industry had got they lost a lot by that quitting, so when she returned, she was able to do it under her terms.

Anna Akino doesn't have that leverage, she is still a raw diamond, so she is not in position to make demands under risk of being ostracized into a C-tier actress. She still lacks a lot of successful films and TV series for her to dictate her terms regarding kisses and torrid scenes.
Umm..
Actually, Mai Sakurajima was never a gravure model. She was forced into a swimsuit photoshoot in 9th grade by her mother (who was also her agent), despite her clear objections. That shoot was a major emotional breaking point for her, and it directly led to her stepping away from the entertainment industry altogether. So no... she didn’t “honor” that kind of work willingly, nor did she build her success on it.

That’s exactly what makes Mai’s arc in Bunny Girl Senpai so powerful... she confronted the hard stuff early, even before her relationship with Sakuta fully took off. Meanwhile, Yamada’s arc still feels one-sided, with Kyo constantly giving while she stays emotionally sheltered. It’s not just about industry clout... it’s about personal maturity and sacrifice. Mai and Sakuta's relationship feels very balanced. Here it feels one sided.


That said, I do get it... Yamada’s nowhere near as emotionally mature as Mai, so the comparison isn’t entirely fair. But it was frustrating watching one character give so much while the other continues to drift. It's why I stopped reading this manga properly and now just jump in randomly to check where the author is taking this

The Japanese are weird man. in mange you'll see 15 year olds having a job as a gravure model and its supposed to be "Normal"
That's what I am saying, but there are some people even here to defend this absurdity. Plus, this manga takes place in MIDDLE SCHOOL! I was expecting our characters to grow up together and discover each other slowly.

This is what I'm talking about in the early chapters. Being an actress is a borderline prostitution. Kissing/doing lewd stuff to random dudes just because of "work" and people will call it "professionalism" always make me uncomfortable.

Just drop this job
There's many kind of jobs in to this world
And I think she'll easily find one
Cause I think in the job of acting this kinda thing is unavoidable
She may skip this but what would she do in the upcoming project
She said acting is her passion, that's why she can't drop it
But what about basketball ball. That sports was also her passion but she dropped it eventually

She can Just do the work where she can feel proud and her boyfriend ichikawa will feel less anxious

For once make Yamada actually sacrifice something for her man. So fair its only been Kyo sacrificing constantly. Author really doesn't seem to understand his views on introverts

Like when she was going to ditch her audition to attend camp with Kyo after seeing how excited he was about it? Kyo is the one that encouraged her to pursue this.

Entertainment industry is slavery, especially in Asian countries.
Imagine being forced to fake relationships with people in movies/series, but not being allowed to have a lover in RL.
Sick and disgusting.

I remember when people acted like I was crazy for pointing out how half the drama in this manga is just cheating bait.

If she was an adult I think it's different. Plenty of A-list actors do lewd stuff with other actors and they're dating or married to other people and it's chill. They have consent from all parties and they're professionals who know fiction from reality. But that is NOT the case with Yamada, she's still a kid.
