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 hand Yamada was very sweet. Almost as good as a confession.
