Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu - Vol. 3 Ch. 42 - I Was Used

@Hiyasc

I do disagree that it's the best way to translate it. The cut-off in English and Japanese don't work the same way. The intent is clear in the Japanese bubble. It has to be clear in the English one as well. Even if you omit the cut off altogether.
 
I have faith in Ichikawa that either he'll figure it out on his own that she didn't mean it like that or that Yamada will be pretty transparent about it pretty quick
 
She looked like she was going for the kiss there, but chickened out. That or she was hoping for him to pick up on the opportunity she was presenting to him. She was flagging hard to try to say "I'm available" to him, but that combo of events would make things look really bad to someone like him. Granted, if she actually wanted to use him for that, she wouldn't tell the girls that she had no boyfriend; she would start then.
 
His misunderstanding might bring out the serial killer in him.

That’d be an interesting way to end this series

I loved how the shoujo protag in the beginning was him to t. I also loved how Yamada lost her cool hammering in that she has no bf. Also could this be endgame? I don't see her clearing this up easily without confessing.
 
@Deadinthewater nah man, she did 'use' him to show that she didn't want anything to do with pickup-pai, but it wasn't something she did out of malice. He is just overthinking it
 
Everybody already commented on drama, so I just want to note that I really like how observant ichikawa is. A little fiddle with console and he already found out weak sides. How he actually notices how yamada treats him and conciously convinces himself that he's misunderstanding. How he's good about reading the thought processes of others if he is observer. And a bunch of other little things.
The problem is, he knows that he is socially inept and applies his painful experience when he doesn't need to.
Also, comment section's quest for SRS made me laugh.
