The Dangers in My Heart (僕の心のヤバイやつ)

My name is Kyotaro Ichikawa.

I'm a second year in junior high,

starting my third term today.

And that's... Your hands, they're ju-

Anna Yamada.

Nothing more to say. Huh?

Oh! You really did break your arm, didn't you?

Yamada was telling me about it. Chi!

Took a little spill out in the mountains of Akita?

Chi! For some reason,

I find myself surrounded.

You're meant to sign it.

Just because you broke your arm don't mean nothing!

Why are you making it sound like a good thing?

Huh? What's this?

A dog? Shoot!

Oh, that's just...

You're weird.

Think he's going for a laugh by wearing that?

Who knows? Better put this

away before I lose it.

Hey. Huh?

Listen, if you need any help with your arm there...

Dayama! Huh?

Brought you something special all the way from Osaka.

Oh.

Let me know!

Tough break, huh?

Must be rough since you're right-handed.

No, I'm used to it already.

Don't you think you should ask somebody

to help you out with things?

No, I...

I can tell where this is going and I don't like it.

I think it's a good idea.

Who do you get along best with in class?

I knew it! I don't get along with anyone!

Miss Yamada...

What about her? Your desks are close.

Uh, Yamada...

She has lots of friends and is busy enough already.

It's not like that. We just talk sometimes.

We aren't close or anything.

You sure?

Don't worry about me.

I can handle class and lunch

with just using one hand.

This is bad. Real bad!

Why does it always turn out this way?

Especially now, just when we started

getting a little closer with each other

over the winter break!

It's all ruined.

All because of me!

Should have figured I couldn't keep up with my left hand.

What?

Too late now.

Gonna have to copy from someone else.

Uh...

Huh?

Uh...

Oh, I can just ask Hara. Oh no! Wait!

That feels like the worst thing to do right now.

Here. Huh?

Yeah. Guess she finds me someone she can depend on.

Yamada, I mean.

Yamada?

You need my class notes?

Yeah. Ichikawa does.

My handwriting is too sloppy to share.

Cool!

And then after that,

she told me she can only count on

someone as cool and kind as me.

Amazing, huh?

She didn't say a word of that, did she?

Mm, maybe not.

Oh.

Hey, um, I'm sorry.

For what?

For what I said to Mr. Maeda.

Is that right? And what did you say?

Go on, say it.

I, uh, well, uh...

What do I say?

It's just that, well, I thought...

I didn't wanna force you to help me, so that's why.

But you're the one I wanna ask for help the most

when it comes to it, you know?

Oh.

I know that.

So hey, you're not getting a ride?

My mom has work, so I have to walk today.

Oh, then I'll carry your bag.

No, it's fine. I can...

I mean, actually, thank you.

Hey, could you not talk to Adachi so much?

Why? Tell me why I can't.

And just like that,

I suddenly had Yamada basically

looking after me.

I'll take your stuff

back with mine, all right?

Oh wait, I still have soup left.

Ah! Uh, which one's mine?

Oh, I'm so sorry!

What are you all shaky for?

I've had my cast for three weeks now.

I'm starting to get used to it and all, but...

Next page, please.

Hold this! Huh?

Sorry! I forgot.

But I'll never get used to Yamada's help.

Yo, get a load of this, my dude!

What? You got some smut? Close!

What now? Oh, just some pop star mag?

You're so obsessed with Lemonzaka.

Just look at it though.

Look at them getting all worked up

over some little magazine.

Show some class, fellas.

No way! That's Yamada!

What?

Huh? Guess she goes by Akino for work.

But hey, I thought she was

just a model though.

What? You guys didn't even know that?

Huh?

She's not just a model.

She's on TV, in movies, and lots of stuff.

I bet her agent makes her do it all.

Whoa.

Crap!

My big mouth!

But if she's in a pop star magazine, then...

If she's in a pop star mag,

then maybe she's making that her main thing

instead of all that other stuff now.

So we'll get to see her in a bathing suit!

Damn, I was thinking the same thing.

She'll wear an itty bitty microbikini!

Wish I could get a new microphone...?

Hey, what were you and the boys talking about today?

Should have known this would come up.

Uh, nothing much.

Oh, it must have been secret boy stuff.

I guess.

Sorry.

I wonder, would she mind too much

if I asked about work?

I imagine she probably doesn't really want people

to see her doing glamour shots, right?

Hey, uh, mind if I pop into this store for a bit?

Ah, they have it!

Look, that's Honoka Saito from Lemonzaka!

She's adorable.

Oh, and who's this?

She never changes.

Oh yeah, better check my horoscope.

Hey!

This took a lot longer than my usual photo shoots.

I got all nervous on set

when they told me to just act natural.

Doesn't really look like it to me.

The people on staff were so funny to work with though.

Oh, I'm sorry. You probably don't care.

Don't do that. It looks just like it...

It always does to me.

And by that, what I mean is

it looks as good as all your pictures.

Like the Yamada I know.

Why are compliments so hard?

You think?

Well, that me must be me in my best condition,

don't you think so, Ichikawa?

How do you figure that?

I mean...

Nevermind. I'll buy this for you.

I let that chat back in class just slide by.

But now it's really on my mind.

I know nothing about that world.

Which one do you like the best?

No particular one.

All of them, huh?

I guess. It's different from the

usual fashion magazines though.

You've seen them?

No, my sister just bought one I happened to see.

Oh, right. Of course. That makes sense.

It really is different though.

Different makeup, different poses,

and even had a different feel.

Yeah?
