Yamada is a caring person, helping Akane when she needed the most. 

However, I think the most interesting part is about Akane and Tsubaki's relationship, or at least their past story. Feels like they wanted to tell narratives about his past and relationships with others besides just Akane and Yamada show. This episode had a lot of emotions. Akane's crying was kinda comical though.

It's seems like Yamada-kun have his own share of regrets in past.
Akane-san seriously kicked Yamada-kun's head .
Yamada-kun Super Cool

Well Yamada is good at taking care of the sick despite his usual behaviour.
And we got some more background information about the characters which was nice.
Hopefully the other girls will also find her happiness.

Who would have thought that all a man needs is to be an unruly gamer™, to have a bunch of girls fall for you ... man, i really need to fix my shit.

But anyway, even more unruly gamer™ character got some spotlight in this weeks episode, one would think they are a match made in heaven ... but hey, its the pretty boy who ends up with a hot blonde kind of sotry ... .. . SO SUCK IT UP AVERAGE GIRL, lol.

You already lost, Yamada already found someone <3 I'm glad he finally talked about the girl in his flashbacks. Funny that a minor cold turned out to be a huge ordeal. It was so sweet of Yamada to look after Akane after she fainted. Poor Akane has a whole collection of books to deal with breakups, she must have really loved Takuma. It seems like we aren't going to make it to the good chapters. This episode was so short!! I hate it.

After last week's episode, I had to read all of the released manga chapters, and it feels weird watching everything I read animated. This is the first time I've read ahead and then watched the anime afterwards. It is weird seeing some added scenes that weren't in the manga.

Well, it seems that Tsubaki did end up joining the guild, and although what they say hurts him, it's true, if you really liked someone enough to feel that bad when you think they're going to take it away from you, you wouldn't let it go away. no one for that scenario to play out, and honestly, I doubt that's the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was the girl who had a crush on him as a kid. And on Akane's side, more than feeling calm when she's defenseless near Yamada because she doesn't think anything will happen between the two of them, I feel that she feels calm because if something happened with someone, she wouldn't mind if it was with him, despite the fact that he knows that he can be cruel with his indifference and little insight. Now it's time to see who is capable of making Yamada wake up before so that he fully realizes his feelings, although our Akane already has an advantage, I haven't read the manga and I expect anything no matter how low the chance is xd

On the night that Yamada supposed to come to cram school, he found Akane sick, and sad to say that Yukari kinda already lost the love battle, though Yamada was the one that introduced him to the world of games and having aspirations for his future life. The class president who knows Yamada in and out, being chased by girls, though he had one episode which a girl confessed to him, and got all the beating from others about him. That is now he closed his heart and did only what he was told to do, after the girl had long moved out and shed many tears to the point of Yamada not being able to understand girls, or the people around him. That, to Yukari, finds that if someone actually dated Yamada, she would suffer as well, but Akane's the only exception that he's willing to go to lengths to take care of her until she is awake.

That reality, is NO longer a dream, and Akane DID find Yamada in her room, still extremely sick from her sickness. He very well could've caught Akane's cold, but instead, he chose to be kind to her, which she is overjoyed, and definitely lovestruck due to her fever and headache. Despite having a good guy image, Akane's episode of getting dumped by Takuma is better for the long run, and is a contrast to his old love life when it was all said and done. The angelic feeling within Yamada gives reassurance to Akane, and having a cramp doesn't help much until he fixes her leg.

Akane promising to properly thank Yamada for his help, though she wants to draw close to him, and at the same time, can't let go of him.

Love is in the air for Akane and Yamada...or is it not achievable yet?

Poor yamada he got kick from akane and he also has a past with a not so nice memory about a girl who confessed to him.
Good that yamada is such a nice boy he took akane in the hospital.

Akane's gonna faint she had seen her be princess carried back to her home. That is if she had been awake. So Yamada and Tsubaki's first encounter was after they played against each other huh. Pretty bold of her. Still i think she must be glad that despite how popular he is that he never had a GF and thus giving her the time to find the courage to confess. Akane's reaction on seeing Yamada after waking up really was priceless. Man this was such a fun and adorable ep that featured not only some nice background for Tsubaki but also some amusing Akane moments as well.

Madhouse masterclass today. Visual storytelling was impeccable. Combined with the OST and direction I was really impressed by this episode

Kinda feel bad for Yukari, this episode gave a lot more depth to she and Yamada’s relationship, but she was never going to win him over in the end.

In a way, Akane is an opportunity for Yamada to right what he feels were his wrongs of the past, like not saying anything to his childhood friend to make her feel better at the end. Really like how they interwove his flashback with the present day stuff with caring for Akane.

The wheels are definitely turning with romance now and my main complaint about the series, which is that their relationship seemed so shallow at first has now been addressed. There’s definitely some substance here now. Looking forward to how things develop

Let me break it to you nerd.. you don't stand a chance, You Don't Stand A Chance, YOU-DON'T-STAND-A-CHANCE. So no more of those tears and talking philosophy. PLEASE.

Also is it safe to assume this is the last one of those life-threatening cold shoved up on our face?? Because any more of it, and this will break past that cringe threshold which is barely keeping itself intact.

Ditto … wonderful episode … the slow pace allowing each of us to really feel Akane’s inner sorting of their thoughts and feelings.

Tsubaki’s inner dialogue about her hidden feeling about Yamada was especially poignant …

As I might have mentioned following a previous … the manga does have a community translation and is every bit as engaging as the anime!

I found the parallels between Tsubaki and Akane interesting. While they both are being drawn to Yamada, Akane is able to help him start to move past his childhood regrets just by being herself and from her past relationship experiences. Such sweet and hilarious moments between them that make me giggle and ship them so much~ <3

We got see more of Yamada's past and it looks like he wasn't comfortable around the girls as well. He did meet Tsubaka on a another game.

Wow Akane's health was really bad, so bad that she even needed to go to the hospital. That cramp scene got me laughing though even though some people can relate to it. Yamada is really caring of Akane and when Akane is feeling better the next day and Yamada is about to leave, Akane's body just moves on its own towards Yamada. Wholesome episode.

That was a deathly anime cold arc and a half, Yamada took full opportunity to get the most out of it lol, and of course you got the suggestive bed scene which was amazing, and I really appreciated Yamada’s dodging skills when he was helping Akane with her cramp, that’s what being a pro gamer gets you lol. And that final scene before Yamada left, Akane was grabbing his jacket unconsciously, this is the universe telling you to get together lol.

And Tsubaki’s bit in this one was interesting, it gave more insight on Yamada and also revealed a bit more of his backstory, I’m just really hoping that girl from the past isn’t Akane because I like that they just randomly met more than if it was some kind of fate thing. And I do kinda feel bad for Tsubaki, she’s saying all this about Yamada meeting someone when little does she know she’s late to the party lol.

Quite predictable the fact that Tsubaki had feelings for Yamada.

On the other hand, it seems that Akane already realized what she feels, I hope that develops fine.

I laughed so badly when Akane got a cramp, Yamada was helping her and then -bam- she kicks him with her foot😂 Reminded me a bit of the scene in Horimiya when Miyamura had the urge to put his foot on Hori lmao

Man, I absolutely adore this anime, I can't wait for the next episode! I hate these cliffhangers😭 It's nice to see how Yamada opens up more and more towards Akane...he even laughed, which he never does!🥹

yamada really is best boy. as soon as he saw akane collapsed he took care of her without hesitation. he may not think so, but he's a very kind and caring person.

really liked this episode. it was extra cute and sweet, and you can see the moments yamada is like "huh? what is this feeling?". i can't wait till he finally realizes his feelings for akane

Yamada helping Akane when she's so sick. Very sweet episode as they got closer while Yamada made sure Akane got the care she needed and recovered. First taking her back to her apartment but then later a nightly hospital. Akane fever wasn't getting any better so it was smart for Yamada to take her to the hospital. The Tsubaki parts of this episode were interesting. Seeing how she fell in love with Yamada beforehand as she got to know him better. How he doesn't think much of himself so thinking much of others just doesn't register in his mind. It sucks that she can't be with Yamada but at least Tsubaki herself knows that Yamada will find someone someday like she did him. Tying that back into the current events of Yamada helping Akane is great writing. Yamada has someone he cares for now and thinks about their wellbeing. Once Akane woke up and they started talking the mood calmed down more. Akane freaking out because Yamada was so kind warmed my heart. Akane is really starting to notice the many sides of Yamada too, now she's becoming very attached to him.

I did the same thing but back on ep4 or 5 (when they added all those Runa scenes). Super weird seeing the random stuff they add but I have been enjoying it all since it always adds to the character development/atmosphere in a positive way unlike basically every other anime that adds random stuff. Love the manga and can't wait to see it all animated, truly a hidden gem in romance.

I don't read the manga, but I think next episode could be "taking care of Yamada's cold".
