The Dangers in My Heart

[Arceles]

If Ichikawa was selfish and pushed Yamada to quit her job, he wouldn't be the one right for her.

Ichikawa loves Yamada for all of who she is, which includes the things she loves and works hard at it, which is her job in modeling and acting. If he forced her to quit doing what she loves (which we've she would actually be willing to do for him), it would make her miserable and that's not what he wants for her. He wants her to be happy and safe regardless of what he gives up.

And actually her caring about her job is actually a big part of why he likes her from the start. He first realizes that he really likes her when he saw how sad she felt about not being able to do her modeling job because she got her nose broken.

I actually like that her being a model is actually used to introduce another challenge and opportunity for development for them instead of being just treated as some throwaway thing to show off how beautiful the fmc is that other similar stories would treat it.

Never said anything about Ichikawa forcing her to resign. If anything, should be her decision... and her own thinking, that such "job" is diminishing to her. She can talk about it with Ichikawa, but if we have the simping Ichikawa he would simply would say "do what do you think it is best" whereas a more true to character Ichikawa would actually think in what Yamada likes from acting and perhaps suggest a job related but not the same to what she has, then she has to make decisions as well, after all, she is growing too.
