Some interesting choices in the adaptation in this episode. Yamada asking for Kyoutarou's LINE address was actually all the way back in chapter 21, and where they actually exchange addresses as at the end of the episode here isn't until chapter 44! Kyoutarou did realize that Yamada wanted his address in the earlier chapter so it's odd it took so many chapters for it to finally happen so melding the two chapters was a good idea. There's also two seperate instances where "Pick-up Senpai" tries to get closer to Yamada; one where he baits Chii and another where he just goes away after trying to invite Yamada to play video games. Combining these two events made a lot of sense; it even tied together "senpai" using Chii with Kyoutarou fearing that Yamada was using him. It was clever to see this connection and add it to the story.

Why did Yamada whip out the calendar?

She was checking what day of the week Christmas Eve was; later she realizes she could trick him into setting up a date then by "forgetting" the manga. Christmas is a big holiday for lovers in Japan.

Not much to say other than it was super adorable. and honestly they are moving faster to a confession than most other romance slice of life animes ive seen which i can appreciate. although i doubt they will actually confess this season but it shows that they are getting closer to that point. anyways 10/10 once again

One of my favorite events in the manga finally animated too.
This is really one of the most emotional events in the series so far. This is really a big development for both of them, and also this is probably one of the major tugs on Yamada's heart, truly making her realize that Ichikawa is someone she cannot let hate her as a person, let alone, walk away from her life.

We only have 3 episodes left but I suppose the next events will be covering more major developments for them and probably cover until the end of their 2nd year in middle school.

I just realized that the series dated itself exactly; they had school on a Monday and the next day is Christmas Eve; this last time Christmas Eve was on a Tuesday was 2019. I guess this is a period piece!

The "I hate Yamada" thing? I really liked how straightforward and brief it is. So many series would takes ages to resolve this.

The Japanese school year ends in March so it's probably not going to get that far since it's only late December.

Ichikawa nearly took a thousand steps back from all the progress made in the show so far, but thankfully it was resolved rather quickly thanks to Yamada pretty much wearing her heart on her sleeve, and as a result we got that phenomenal moment between them and the entire scene afterwards as the credits rolled, love when that kind of thing happens lol. I also nearly missed that Yamada tried stealing Ichikawa’s bike before they parted ways, I had to rewind a bit because I was confused lol.

I also really loved the little argument between Yamada and Kobayashi, it seemed pretty realistic and was also thankfully quick and ended wholesomely, the “big stupid she-giant” got me lol. And Ichikawa and Yamada finally exchanged contact info, and wouldn’t you know it, they immediately stayed up past midnight texting each other, love it lol. And lastly I was surprised by the direct reference to Re:Zero with Ichikawa’s LINE pfp, kinda cool to see even though I still haven’t seen it lol.

They took one episode only for Line ID's exchange lol, what a progress.

Hey Ichikawa, the Rem pfp is cute xD I love it.

This scene living forever in my mind, I screamed when I watch it.

Ichikawa's self-doubt is so relatable... I know it's really hard to trust people and the feeling of afraid to gone too far about something.

Not gonna lie I almost cried when Yamada cry T_T also she uses the tissues that Ichikawa gave to her in library back then... They are really sweet.

The hugging scene is adorable... they adapted it really well.

Did Yamada trying to steal Ichikawa's bicycle at the credit scene? Lol girl I giggled.

I guess Yamada doesn't bring the next volume so she can asks his LINE ID xD Nice play.

Also their LINE chat. They are so silly indeed.

This anime is truly The Dangers in My Heart.

Now that was an amazing hug that Yamada gave to the MC in the end.  I bet none of us have ever had a girl (whos not family) hug us that way with such passion. 

Beautiful crying by Yamada. Really felt it. 

And I felt bad for the short girl best friend of Yamada; she was really looking forward to going on a date, but it was all for nothing. I hope she can find romance.

Yeah I just realized that the next events after their Christmas Eve date (this coming episode) might have too much content as well. It might really not reach that far by the way it is now paced.

Yes, this exactly. The way they have pieced together the various events from the early chapters has really revealed how much thought and care went into this adaptation. I was absolutely certain they would make sure the "Line" events would take place in the same episode, since the timing of the two chapters in the manga always struck me as odd. And the fact they tied in the Chi episode (Chi being used by Pickup-Senpai) to reenforce Ichikawa's assessment that he was being used was quite thematically adept. 

And not for nothing, besides the obvious conclusion that Ichikawa's Line avatar proves that he is a Re:Zero fan (completely based, in my opinion), the fact that he chose a character that parts her hair in the same way covering up her right eye is nothing less than hilarious. I just love everything about that.

You got it absolutely right friend. This chapter, the end of it was a perfect, 10/10. The moment when she asked for the Line it was memorable, up there in my ranking with NHK ni Youkoso episode 8.

These days its unusual not for classes to have group chats. If she ever got serious Yamada can get anyone she wants. Still it was amusing seeing Anna try to get close to Kyotaro. But Kyotaro proved to be a pretty good shield for Anna that allowed her to hopefully beat the wannabe playboy away. The makeup between Kobayashi and Yamada though was cute. Im glad that despite the confusion that he's feeling that Kyotaro and Yamada were able to make up. Looks like as a result their bonds only have gotten stronger. Curious to see how things would be next ep.

What is there to not like? The amount of visual sucrose is enough to make me diabetic.
When I was watching, there was a certain person which said a really good way to describe it
"Me while watching
grins creepily
slaps himself
grins creepily
slaps himself..."
That's pretty close to describe the most viewers, the grin every few seconds on your mouth, I dare you to condemn my accusation. This anime made me smile more than I did in a year just thought it's course and I am really glad there is more.
Ichikawa is clueless, as most boys and man Yamada is carrying it. They both have their blows and that's the most sweetest thing I've ever witnessed. I've patched up a lot of relationship of friends and they tell me a lot of juicy details but nothing as close as this.
There is one sentence to describe this properly, freaking amazing.
I was also one of those who thought of this as Kubo-san's replacement but man was I delusional. This is of it's own league. It's kinda pointless to say this considering many have said the same but "Plot wise and character wise this (The Dangers in My Heart) is definitely better. Kubo san is for high sugar intake". I think it is the best way to put it.
Kubo-san is is a bit low of overall story progress as in less things are going overall, kinda simple and bland but what they really nail at is the sweet parts and personal progress in relationship whereas in this, there are a lot of variables going on, all characters have their own significance to stitch the story, the significance, which I like more than just plain sweetness so as a story person this is a 9/10 for me. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of sucrose, both metaphorically and literally. But yeah, I like watching stories where they make use of everything since it feels kinda incompetent of the author if they do not do so. I feel like I can do better than that which is not something I like to pop-up in my mind watching. I am not targeting Kubo-san, that is very well written as well. I am talking with contrast to trash isekai since it's the best punching bag.
It's really sad to see this anime coming to an end, just 4 left but as Dr.Seuss said "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". I am really happy to see that there are so many good anime this year, like MT and whatnot. It would be a shame to miss on any of them.

Side note:- Man it sucks to use the rate and review thing. My long written reviews have been erased for the nth time :') I took a lot of time to put every word carefully and it just vanished. Previous one was so well written. Welp... MAL need to save it or give a option to restore review because of misclicks. I don't know about others but I do write this way because of the convenience and easy accessibility to names and it feels like coffee spilling over to the project you spent all-nighters 2 days in a row to make. All the work in vain. OOF.

To be fair this started at 6.95 to 7.00. 
A .4 increase is already significant when most of the time romcoms like this either stay at their initial rating or eventually drops.
Mixed reactions to the first episode didn't help too as some anime watchers have short attention spans and will not gonna give this a chance at least a 3 episode treatment.


Show opened at about 7.15, dropped to 7.04 toward the end of April and has been climbing since.

7.49 at time of posting

It will be quite a stretch for the rating to get to 8 from there but I'd be very pleased to see that.

I mean Ichikawa, get the idea already lol. It wasn’t as if Yamada was interested in you being in any particular line group or not, she just wanted your id. Though he got it all wrong in the beginning but realized it soon after, when Yamada was about to ask some other guy his id. Must say the timing was perfect as he avoided the unwanted.
To his defense, he realized in the second part of the episode. It's not unusual to be in denial when you are seeing the person interested in you as someone completely out of your league.
Sometimes, realizing they might be interested in you and not just casually joking around is the highest hurdle to jump over.
That's because most of the people keep wall around them that prevents them getting hurt.

The moment he saw she still has tissues he gave her before was where it all dawned on him. I guess from this poiint onwards, they are more or less conscious of their mutual feelings.
