Social media in a nutshell. In today's modern age, LINE is a thing so obviously, the show wanted to dive into that social media platform for social exchanges.

This episode was alright although Anna seems uncomfortable at some moments. I wish some of the girls left her alone. I like how they connected Kyoutarou and Anna when they both needed each other.

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.

Also hey being the big anime fan he is, he had Rem as his pfp. Thumbs up for that, but hey there’s a problem when you begin to see those super cliche scenarios in some super cheesy shoujo manga even with a speck of realism. Though it was fun to see his perception of that pickup senpai but it was that perception itself which gave him the wrong idea.

The wrong idea of Yamada using him as a means of deviating that senpai, so the senpai couldn’t get closer to her. But how wrong was he boy… despite knowing Yamada wasn't even indenting to do anything closer to what he was thinking. 

And then Yamada confronted him..  we got a hug and they reconciled again. Hell yeah. That's how you deal with misunderstandings, giving the good out of them and not making a fucking mess. Exchanged the id's too :)

"Hey Ichikawa, look, these LINE stamps are really cute, i can send them to you too, if you want"
"No thanks, im good"



WHY U DO HER LIKE THAT MAN. Anyway, a little bit of teenage drama, glad to see it got resolved so promptly, considering their age and this being romance anime, and all that comes with it, lol. Bit by bit, they are there :)

Also, finally Switch Pro has been teased.

The drama was handled well and we even got a cute hug near the end, every week this show surprises me with how wholesome it is and there's always some progress.

Line is dominating Japan since a decade ago, and it seems like there's no rival that can disrupt this monopoly in the next ten years. Almost every anime has Line stickers, but sadly most of them are region lock to Japan only.

Romance Saturdays continue πŸ™πŸΎ man I had goosebumps the entire episode, this was amazing. Kyo a rem stan??? He’s literally just like me wtf.

Ever since the key visual for the series changed so too has the mood and direction. Yamada knows she has feelings for Ichikawa is is definitely more aggressive with her pursuit. Cute how she went thru all that just to get his LINE, lol. Need that type of love.

As usual, the direction and OST were on point today, especially that hallway chase scene there “are you mad at me?” Just perfect really. Can not wait for the next episode

She just wants your line id, get the hint man. She was so desperate to let him know she doesn't have a boyfriend but that dumbass misunderstood the situation. I'm glad he realised that wasn't the case. That hug was so cute. These two are so adorable, love em so much. Also happy for Yamada, she was able to get his line id. Btw my man's a Rem fan, he knows who's the best.

Who's Rem? Obligatory meme.

Wouldn't be an anime MC without some density.

Is fantastic that they got closer in this episode. But I worry about the drama/bullying that the pick up artist guy, may bring.

Nice episode as a whole, took some constant emotional turmoil experienced by both of them to get to them exchanging LINE IDs but all's well that end's well. Good to see Yamada assert herself to see what was happening when Ichikawa was constantly on the run from her, even gave him a couple assertive hugs at the end there to send a message that she cares for him quite a bit too, more than he would think right now given his lack of confidence and belief in himself.

Good grief, my heart is swelling fit to burst...

Kyoutarou's lack of self esteem is a major hurdle, but Anna doesn't give in so easily and he is at least smart enough to eventually realise the flaws in his own logic.

Nice try with the bike :-)

And who wouldn't want a "Yamada Hug"

Easily my favourite romance of the season.

Such a good episode. One thing I am loving with this series is the Violin that plays at the end of each episode and each episode being something special. This week it's Anna getting Kyo's LINE. Her just saying "Kyo" at the end, man the VA nailed it.

Such a great episode.

Please please please don't drag this out unnecessarily long. I get it manga authors want to make money, but just give the story a resolution without bloating the chapter count.

Yes, today's episode confirmed my rating for this show is a FAT 7. it won't live up to the manga IMO and I really think it's missing the manga's charm. Some of the eps are good but most feel off or unsatisfying due to cut scenes/panels or even saturation of the scene being way too much. The biggest thing tho is the pacing which at times feels rushed throughout the anime when there should be a pause for dramatic effect.

I love the growing relationship between Anna and Kyotaro. The little hints Anna always gives him are actually so obvious, but since Kyotaro can't imagine that someone like Anna could like him, he always misinterprets them. The hug scene we got this episode was so cute. I hope the two get together soon. The Dangers in My Heart is one of the best romance anime this season and already one of my favorite shojo animes.

I love all those little Love hints we can see they are not seeing. like Yamada looking on Ichikawa before asking that guy for his LINE. Like is he gonna stop me? Then the face when he does.. 
Or when hes reading manga and saying: Yamada love guys thats distant,curt,nice, bit awkward.. thats literally Ichikawa.. :D Or she yelling I dont have boyfriend right in his face.. still no clue :D I wonder tho why did she pretend to kiss him in that library.. to show him she doesnt care what they think? or just to get rid of nampai? perhaps both? Anyway another 10/10 episode..

Yamada trying to ask Kyoutarou's LINE ID but fails. Re:Zero reference, nice. Haruya trying to invite Yamada over but she's not into it. Kyoutarou thinks that Yamada uses him but that's far from the truth.

Wholesome hug moment between Kyoutarou and Yamada. Kyoutarou and Yamada walking home together. Looks like Kyoutarou will be out of town and visiting his grandparents. Yamada has now successfully achieved Kyoutarou's LINE ID.

It's amazing how much of a rebound this show has taken in my eyes. I liked it from the first episode, it dropped off a little, and now, it's absolutely splendid. There's actual character growth to be seen, and I'm glad the little drama ended in such a rewarding way, and quickly as well. The directing and OST has always stood out, but these last few episodes, I have really enjoyed it to a higher level.

Someone do tell me though, who was the peculiar girl that was on Kyoutaro's LINE profile picture?

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.

This show is having one of the most impressive rises in score i've seen in a while, also with the 1/5th dropped rule we will see it go over 8.00 by the end guaranteed.

Man, this episode left me with such a grin on my face in the end. I was surprised when the black screen came on and I saw my face, xD. It's just been that kind of show for me but this episode. Yeah, it was special. 

Yamada's assertiveness when it comes to Ichikawa is just too amusing and wholesome to watch! Can't believe Ichikawa went on to that tangent for a bit though, that's really disrespectful but I'm glad he was convinced pretty easily about his misunderstanding. And then what followed was just good vibes all round. Volume 4 to be read soon but more importantly, they exchanged Line contacts at long last! I was thinking maybe Ichikawa would bring it up but got to leave it to Yamada to remain dedicated to that goal, lol.

Here's to hoping the senior won't come in between to complicate things between the two. I wonder if he'll figure out that Ichikawa was the one who stopped his advance earlier too, I suppose that could complicate their relationship a bit. Let's spare a thought for Chii-chan too, being swayed like that but thankfully not too late.

The episode is truly emotional. At the beginning of the series, there are usually many prejudices, but it is one of the best-developed relationships in the romcom genre without exaggeration.

That was literally such a perfect episode. Love how they tied in Ichikawa's childhood and him being afraid to admit that he wanted the game, to not wanting to believe that Yamada really liked him. That and all the scenes leading up with the idea of being used by someone really made this episode complete.

The scene with the two of them making up was just beautiful, the animation, direction, and score from Kensuke Ushio was just perfection. Also Yamada still has the tissues!

I think this show will end up being one of my favorite romances if the rest of the episodes keep getting better like this

Multiple things factor into this. It's not on crunchyroll so it's an availability issues. And many people dropped it after the initial few episodes because well they though Ichikawa was a creep or something.

Now for the episode. It was great. We had to have a flashback to the line exchange because they shifted some chapters around and I guess they assumed people wouldn't remember if they didn't.

  • Yamada going 100% on the prospect of having an acceptable situation to ask Kyo for his line without him being able to say no
  • Moe stealing Kyos first line contact exchange and Yamade going Yandere-mode
  • The Ishimuro-san thing where Yamada made sure to speak loud and towards Ichikawa so he would hear her say that there's nothing between them to put his anxiety at ease
  • Him finally checking what she wanted all along and her getting it and deciding to drop the exchange for now
  • Kyo reading Kimi-iro and not yet adding 1+1=2. I mean he even says something along the lines of her liking boys that are crass on the outside but with a soft shell but fails to reflect this exact thing about himself. Important part here is the scene with the page that says "I didn't say that I don't like it"
  • Yamada can't tell Chi that she's being used as bait because it would hurt her and that is a big no-can-do for her but she's struggling with it
  • Yamada going out of her way to tell the other girls off that she doesn't have a boyfriend but going an extra step by telling it directly to Kyo... the implications of that are once again lost on him
  • Her using this oportunity to get rid of the pushy senpai by showing her closeness with someone else to make him back off. She is, at that moment, not reflecting upon how that would make Kyo feel.
  • Kyo feels like he was used as bait and starts spiraling downward (hence the name of the episode) During the episode the murder book pops up a couple times. It's placement and prominence in shots is used to illustrate Kyos "Walls" to keep people away from him. In this case it shows his regression as a character. He feels like he opened up and was used again so he goes back into his shell. He proceeds to distance himself from yamada partially to protect himself... and partially to hurt her. He hasn't been to the library after school either
  • Yamada is picking up on this and is confronting Ichikawa (she is being quity pushy about this) and asks him if he's mad at her. Realizing how pushy she is she's taking a step back. Kyo attempts to bridge the gap but is unable to commit and gives up. But her crying and reaching for a bag of tissues (the same he laid out a couple episodes before btw. They have the message on them) makes him realize his mistake. Deep down he knew all along that Yamada isn't the kind of person that would use people like that. He realizes that he's fallen into an old pattern of his that he used to distance himself from things that he felt were unatainable. He gives a somewhat bullshit excuse about having stuff to do during lunch break (library meetups used to be after school I think) but Yamada is going in for a big "friendly" bear hug (How has the coin not dropped yet man...)
  • She apologized for the hug and there we have it his reply is "I didn't say that I don't like it" word for word from the manga. And they snuggle a little more where they have more privacy
  • No ending because the time was needed for the setup for the next episode (Love it when they do that)
  • Setup for family trip arc. They both loved the same arc in the manga with the timid slow buildup of a connection between the two leads. Yamada tells Kyo that she will bring the next volumes the next day
  • Yamada "intentionally" forgets the volumes but promises to bring them the next day... which is not a school day sooo Line exchange it is!!!
  • After the line exchange he says his first name which is Kyo. But Kyo also means today. So as a cover she follows up with something like. Not today I mean tomorrow. This gets lost in translation which is why I bring it up. Setup for Christmas Date is done
  • And the first good night text as well


Jampacked episode with maaaany great moments and I think one of the few "drama" arcs that the story contains (so far). Each weeks episode puts my heart in danger of bursting. I absolutely adore this show.
