Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu Season 2 Episode 12 Discussion

@Hayuume Yamada did not tell Ichikawa she had an audition over the phone, the scene in the manga is the same

@OrielBel She did, though? She didn't told him what was the audition about, but she told him about an audition. She stopped before saying the date, the rest of the scene is the same.

Edit: To help with it, when he talks to Kobayashi, he mentions the audition before she tells him about it.

@djg2345312 Now that you mention it it's a little odd that Kobayashi would mention it to Kyo since she doesn't like him and is so dense she has no idea Yamada is in love with him (which buys him loads of forebearance from her other friends). Moe would tell him to put the ball in his court to see if it would pay off, but it's weird that Chii does it.

The chapter of the manga ends soon after that scene, but of course the episode of the anime is longer, adapting several chapters. In the manga it's how that single chapter develops the story where the anime not only can play it down to pay off later, but would actively want to do so to put the reveal at the end of the episode instead of the middle.

NGL but for a minute I thought that this episode was the finale but luckily there's one more since this left off at a brutal cliffhanger, phew!

While I don't really know why Yamada is acting a little off I think it's because she chose to go on the field trip instead of doing a job/audition hence her friend saying she made a choice to go there and also telling Kyotaro that she'll for sure be at the field trip. On that note I think she does want a kiss and/or confession too.

Anyway, I don't know how Kyotaro gets out of that predicament with being in the girls' hotel room but I think he'll have to wait until they're all asleep, good luck lol.

I thought it was weird at first, but it was probably to let the season finale have more of an impact.
