He just misses the weeks broadcast, but will surely make a run at catch the next one.
Ichikawa accepts that he likes Yamada, but doesnt believe it can orshouldgo any further than that.
Sure, its all circumstantial evidence, and shecouldbe simply teasing him.
But we know Yamada isnt that kind of girl.
She likes him, plain and simple.
If he doubts it, all he needs to do is ask.
Somewhere along the way, Ichikawa and Yamada accidentally swapped gym shirts bearing their names.
When he gestures at his chest to Yamada, she simply stares lovingly back at him.
He also catches a glimpse of her weight, but makes it clear he doesnt care either way.
But this presents a problem: her massive frame blocks most of the blackboard from his view.
Shes playing the daughter of a cop and only has one line:Youre such a creep.
For Yamada, hell let her say it as many times to him as she needs to practice.
He asks when the film is coming out, and she estimates in about two years.
This makes Yamada so happy, she ends the rehearsal session right then and there.
She cant continue anyway, because she cant call the boy she likes a creep anymore.
Maybe not immediately, but progress is definitely being made.
Next Tuesday night he learns she doesnt even have a speaking line on the TV show shes in.
Hes relieved because it means shes not so famous as to be completely out of reach.
Shes not out of reach at all.
