After having a hot bath in a bathroom that smells like Yamada (which she sets up using a button on the wall—so cool) Ichikawa not only finds that Yamada’s gym clothes are the only ones waiting for him, but he has to go commando! When Yamada’s Corgi tries to pull his pants off, Yamada provides a key assist, while also resulting in a warm embrace.
While Yamada prepares hot pot she admits she usually eats alone before dinner, she provides a yearbook to show Ichikawa Lil’ Yamada, whom he can pick out of the photos even faster than she did with his. When he spots her piano, she says she tried it for about a year, then quit, then goes on to mention that she’s tried and quit a lot of things over the years.
She’d always quit when she got frustrated with others getting better at whatever it was than her. This leads her to start crying about becoming a burden to the great people she’s come to know. Ichikawa tells her that if people have had “enough” of her they’d be straight with her.
That leads her to bring up the two days he didn’t show up at the library as a time when he couldn’t be straight with her because he was too nice. When she starts crying even harder, Ichikawa reflexively hugs her. This is exactly what she needs, and once she has a good cry, they enjoy some hot pot together.
When she asks why she’s worrying about stuff like this when she’s always been this way, she blushes and definitely looks like she’s about to say “because I met you.” But Ichikawa suggests it’s because she’s growing up, and her parents treated her when she quit knowing she’d cheer up and keep trying new things.
When Yamada’s mom comes home, Ichikawa doesn’t want to be seen in her Yamada’s clothes, so she stashes him in her room and explains the shoes and second bowl as Chii being over. Ichikawa apologizes for making her lie, but after falling on top of him (as “payback” for when he did it to her), she says it’s fine, because as he said, she’s “grown up, now.”
The day finally arrives when Ichikawa can remove his arm cast, but something is going on with his voice. When he doesn’t greet Yamada or look at her that morning, she texts him that he could at least make eye contact, which he immediately does. Of course, he wants to talk to her, but can’t because of how weird his voice feels and sounds.
Yamada and Ichikawa end up becoming sparring partners in class when Yamada avoids everyone else due to her unusually stinky school judo suit (Hara’s reaction to smelling it had me rolling). After some playful foot-fencing, Ichikawa backs her up against a wall, asking if he only chose her because her suit smelled. But that wasn’t the only reason, and she pays him back at once by pushing him back and putting him on the ground.
As he says to Cool Ichikawa in his bedroom, Ichikawa is still under the mistaken impression that Yamada sees him as a friend who happens to be a guy, rather than a guy she likes and wants for a boyfriend. Because Yamada and Ichikawa are more alike than he originally thought, you’d think he’d think that part of the problem is that she, like him, is afraid enough of being hated to be hesitant to take that next step.
Cool Ichikawa knows better already: he’s got this, with “this” being Yamada. It’s not only the things they’ve done together, but the things she’s said to him that she’s never said to anyone else. At least Ichikawa is no longer always looking for an exit; he realizes the only way around this is through. That’s why I expect him to eventually realize he isn’t just like one of her girl friends.
When he tells her his voice must be changing, he also shows her his arms, the one in the cast being skinnier. But instead of thinking that arm got weaker, she believes his other arm simply got stronger, because he’s growing up. As she holds his arms out, she leans toward him and tells him he’d better say her name as often as possible once he gets his deeper voice. By leaning in, his hands brush against the sides of her chest, and he realizes she’s growing up too.
The five-star ratings will continue until quality and/or excitement declines. Fat chance of that!
