Yamada tries to get him to hold her hand by looking like she's going to fall over, is disappointed when he grabs her bag instead, gets massively doki-doki when he keeps holding on because he's genuinely worried that she'll fall over, then goes for the apex predator move of feeding him the candy...
@monoreposo I think after the initial shock Pickup-pai drew the same conclusion that Ichi initially did from what happened in chapter 42- that Yamada was just using Ichi to keep persistent men off her back and didn't have any real feelings for him, because of course an 11/10 like her would never...
@monoreposo Norio's tendency to pair them off in the volume title/cover art (see https://mangadex.org/chapter/973521/2 and to a lesser extent https://mangadex.org/chapter/973522/3 also I don't think it's on here but volume 3's back cover also features Ichi, Yamada, Moe, and Adachi) makes me...
From the top:
-Ichi is, of course, with his two friends from elementary school who went to the private school he failed to get into, who first appeared in a flashback in chapter 42 and also came up in chapters 55-57.
-That's Chii in the middle, who we also know went to Ichi's elementary school...
@remiska The simple answer is that they don't actually weigh about the same but she doesn't want to say that out loud because even 11/10 girls like Yamada can get insecure about that stuff.
@imitation Yeah, seems to be another case of Boredom's translation defining a subject to a line when the original Japanese is more ambiguous. The same thing happened in chapter 64 when Ichi asks what Yamada's dad is like- the original line is "similar" without implying who her dad is similar to...
@fanghue He went out of his way to mention how the gym teacher was close to Shiori, though. You could certainly argue that the confrontation there was going to happen either way, but he helped ensure that it happened. With Shiori he similarly seems to be taking a situation that would exist...
@APinkFox Putting it at the start of the chapter would be a little much since that would spoil the impact of the chapter. Putting it in the description like @marcopolonian suggested would work, though.
Also, I feel like this manga is dark enough overall and has already skirted the subject of...
Sensei's grand plan seems to boil down to "ruin his bully's life by exposing how much of a monster he is to everyone around him." Exposing the affair to his wife is a big piece of that, of course, and he's probably letting Shiori get bullied because he knows that her father will turn on her and...
@Hol_Steed They're in their second year of middle school, it's currently January in-universe, her birthday's 9/10, his is 3/26, so she's 14 and he's 13.
@kaitouk166 He's Nigorikawa-kun, the love interest of the manga Yamada's been lending him, first seen in chapter 42. Since 49 Ichi's occasionally been hallucinating him as a manifestation of his inner chad. He also shows up at the very start of 57.
He's basically just there to make Ichi's...
