The Dangers in My Heart Vol. 1

Product Information

Eye Scream: Yamada tries to put glasses on Ichikawa’s face in Extra 54.2. But she also wants to surprise herself and keeps her eyes closed-shut while doing it, resulting in him getting poked in the eye by the glasses' temple. Karte 31 shows Ichikawa walking past Yamada with her phone in hand, displaying her attempts to share LINE with him going over his head. It also goes both ways. Ichikawa gives her an ear stimulation when he was just trying to quietly tell her to hide some candy from the librarian. In trying to keep Yamada from seeing some magazines that she models for in his bedroom, he pins Yamada to the bed and seemingly awakens a collar bone fetish in her. When Yamada asks (over text) what Ichikawa said about her to his sister, he tells her that they’re friends... “at least for now.” Ichikawa meant that that’s the explanation of what he’s going with. Yamada's focused on the “for now” part, and gets giddy assuming that he’s talking about a future Relationship Upgrade. That said, when she does stuff like open her mouth to show she just handed him an empty wrapper and the actual sweet is in her mouth, it often results in Something Else Also Rises.

Suicide as Comedy: Played With in one of Vol 2.’s extra chapters. Yamada pretends to be a zombie and is about to bite Ichikawa, but he rallies and "shoots" her. Then, after seeing her "dead" body on the floor and imagining her as an actual zombie he had to put down, he puts his "gun" to his head and shoots himself too. His internal narration notes, "If Yamada died, I'd die too." Girl Posse: Chii, Moeko and Serina are prepared to guard Yamada and deflect questionable male attention from away from her at a moment's notice. Ichikawa notes that their process in doing this oddly resembles a tactical battle formation.Star-Crossed Lovers: Discussed. When Kana brings up the idea about the two’s "hearts changing" as they grow up, Ichikawa immediately thinks of Yamada’s modeling/acting career and becomes fearful of them growing apart. Especially after hearing her affirm that she loves it. When Yamada invites him to watch her during work, Ichikawa goes along to defy this trope and learn more about her. Chocolate of Romance: The nature of conveying feelings through chocolate is discussed throughout Karten 72-74. Affectionate Gesture to the Head: In Karte 49, Yamada does a simulation of this to give Ichikawa a good night's sleep over the phone by having him stroke his own head four times. Unbeknownst to Ichikawa, she's stroking the head of one of her stuffed animals at the same time.

Show Within a Show: Kimi-Iro Octave or Your Color's Octave, a shoujo romance manga that Yamada reads (And the only manga she seems to read). Ichikawa becomes a regular reader after she loans her books to him. Certain scenes in the series are used as parallel to Ichikawa and Yamada's growing relationship. The female lead is an identical clone of Yamada and the male lead Nigorikawa shares a significant number of Ichikawa’s personality traits (Which he subconsciously denies). Nigorikawa himself eventually manifests into a imaginary representation of Kyōtarō’s growing self-esteem and true desires. During the parent-teacher conference, Kyōtarō’s mom awkwardly adjusts her posture just as Yamada did at her mother’s request.Also somewhat unrelated complaint with the manga, but it has a decent amount of somewhat creepy art of Yamada. Like, when Yamada is being romanticized/sexualized from the perspective of Ichikawa, it makes sense because that's from his perspective. But the manga has a lot of non-canon panels that feel more like pandering for the audience and... need I remind you all that Yamada is a middle schooler? This kinda made the whole manga reading experience a lot more uncomfortable, and I couldn't end a review on it without at least mentioning it Meanwhile, Hara herself is one for Yamada and Ichikawa, being the only one to have seen them interact with each other one-to-one. When Ichikawa winds up at Yamada's house and has to take a bath (they were out too long in the snowfall and Ichikawa's hand is still in a cast), he immediately notices the scent of the shampoo and recognizes it as the smell of Yamada's hair. Erotic Eating: Sometimes Yamada does this, seemingly without meaning to. Only Ichikawa seems to notice, so it's entirely possible it's all in his head.

I thought this was just gonna be a chunni freak show with weird fanservice which it manages to fit in quite a good amount of, the boisterous and ultra well endowed little giant of girl yamada anna , (who we are somehow supposed to believe) is a middle school student and a model is alarmingly unaware of her antics of overeating and accidental fanservicing which are fueled by the chunni and Perverted delusions of our main lead ichikawa who Cram School: Ichikawa frequently mentions that he attends one in between school breaks. It's also how he met his friends Kinoshita and Tadano before elementary school. Volume 8. The first chapter of the volume has Yamada questioning if she and Ichikawa are in a relationship, in the final chapter the answer becomes an unambiguous “yes“. Be Careful What You Wish For: While still within his “murderous-urges” phase, Ichikawa mused in chapter 1 about seeing Yamada’s “beautiful face contorted in pain”. The sight of her suffering from a nose injury horrifies and hurts him almost as much as it does her, and his delusions stop afterward.

Sherman, Jennifer (December 5, 2020). "Seven Seas Licenses 12 Manga Including Lupin III Compilation, Seaside Stranger, Pompo: The Cinéphile". Anime News Network . Retrieved May 20, 2021. The Dangers in My Heart ( Japanese: 僕の心のヤバイやつ, Hepburn: Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Norio Sakurai. It started serialization in Weekly Shōnen Champion in March 2018 and was moved to Champion Cross, before being moved again to Manga Cross. It has been published in nine tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by Shin-Ei Animation aired from April to June 2023. A second season is set to premiere in January 2024. Kyotaro is a troubled student who fantasizes about murdering his classmates, in particular magazine model and classmate Anna, even carrying a box-cutter for that purpose. By chance he and Anna are alone in the library where he notices the odd behavior she exhibits, including humming like a monkey. Seeing she needs scissors for her schoolwork he impulsively lends her his box-cutter, leaving him without his weapon. He finds the box-cutter in his desk later, surprising him that she knew which desk was his. He begins to notice more odd behavior, which somehow tempts him to secretly offer help. They accidentally interrupt love confession between Hara and Kanzaki, and Kyotaro is forced by Anna to make cat noises to conceal their eavesdropping. Kyotaro is baffled by his continuing to help her. Later he spots Anna in a shop blatantly trying to get noticed as the model on the magazines, which makes him embarrassed on her behalf. On impulse he buys the magazine and it is implied he uses it to masturbate. The next day he spots a "senpai" named Haruya harassing Anna for her Line and impulsively speeds his bike into the river as a distraction. Anna correctly deduces he did it to help, and laughs when he sees he "hit the gas and not the brakes". Think Unsexy Thoughts: Ichikawa delves into this at times whenever he gets inadvertently stimulated by Yamada.
