As romcom misunderstandings go, at least the one in this episode didn't feel too contrived.

I still hate it, though! :)

I paused the episode and wanted to yell at the screen when they did that. Stupid misunderstanding romcom tropes make me want to drop a show immediately.

Pulled myself together though and continued watching, and thankfully this one doesn't seem to play out as I feared. It might even have given Yamada the necessary push to give Yukari a clear answer... which can only be a no, right? RIGHT?

Akane's confession got Yukari-blocked, but that scene in front of the konbini with her and Yamada was very sweet. Almost as good as a confession.

haha, after all the work has done to establish Yamada and Akane's mutual feelings. To take a hard u-turn to end the season with Yamada and Yukari becoming a couple would be so bold. I almost want it to happen now so we can go "WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?" together as the show goes completely off the rails. Almost; there's other shows to fill that niche.

For this show I'm hoping that Yamada will have a more emotionally-mature response to Yukari to show his growth compared to the beginning of the season.
