I don't fully understand why you're so confused by Ichikawa? He's obviously a chunibyo, it's not that outlandish of an idea. "What happened to the DNA that was passed down" is strange, bro is just a middle schooler being a bit edgy. It is nothing to be surprised about. I feel like you're not quite in tune with the writing, which is kinda unfortunate, I hope you'll warm up to it in time. (Because it's not like these early episodes suck, and there's a point to it all, even if you don't think so) For example, I don't really think the moment where he realises his feelings was meant to be funny, you just haven't taken any of the sweet moments in the series before that point seriously and only focused on how stupid the base premise supposedly is. Sorry if that sounds harsh towards you, I don't intend it to. Anyway, a bit of missed detail: Earlier, Yamada asked him which club he's in, he said he's in data processing club, so her saying she could join the data processing club while they were riding on the bike makes Ichikawa blush quite hard. At the beginning of episode 4 Ichikawa says things like how being in love is like a mental illness etc., but while on the bike he decides it doesn't matter cuz he's "always been sick anyways". The thing Yamada was offering to Ichikawa at the end other than the candy, was the mass of eraser she made out of rubbing it on the paper before. By picking that one over the candy, one could interpret maybe he wants Yamada to be able to keep all her candy :)

Hmmm I thought I complimented the series a lot after episode 4 but I can understand why some of my reactions were not well received. To be absolutely blunt, yes I didn't enjoy first half of episode 3. So my way of getting through that was being overly comedic. Therefore I probably didn't receive the confession bit too well. But to say that I haven't appreciate any of the sweet moments + the episodes sucked and wasn't a point to them I feel is unfair. The only time I might have referred to there not being a point to something was one of the sweet moments that I was actually enjoying which got interrupted by another seedy comment. To clarify my "I don't understand" bits are more directed at scene where they say things like "they finger themselves cause their nails are short" and the murder aspect which yes was only in episode 1. And it looks like my secret is finally out cause yea I honestly do struggle with getting edgy middle schooler boy especially the chunibyo concept as I struggle to relate therefore am probably harsher. (that was my attempt at cracking a joke to lighten the mood not sarcasm. I just wanted to clarify that just in cause it gets misinterpreted and make the situation worse hahaha xD) So my dna comment was just me laughing at what I believe was comedy but can see now that is not the case. I feel that you really love this series and honestly I too am starting to enjoy it so it is unfortunate to read this comment. I'll definitely try to pay more attention to the details aspect as you have mentioned I have missed. I do want to say though that my reactions are equivalent to my opinion so sometimes they are not always going to agree with yours. But hopefully going forward with my changed outlooked you will continue to enjoy my reactions as you so kindly have been :)

I honestly did not want to come across as super critical of your reactions, I would rather you be honest than fake anything. I wasn't trying to imply you're too critical or that you're missing all that makes the series great, I was just pointing out the few things I did notice you criticise. Honestly the whole bit with the overly sexual boys is something that I have seen and experienced as very true to life, though maybe not as openly expressed as portrayed here. But it is something where I can understand if people find it weird, just be aware that even the edgy middle schooler Ichikawa is aware this is way over the line and bullshit, hence all his thoughts about it. I can tell that you're still enjoying a lot of things the series has to offer even now, I certainly didn't want to imply that it felt like you thought it all sucked or anything. I don't want to argue too much cuz that in itself could be a hindrance to your enjoyment of the series, if it's associated with people being on your ass about every little reaction you have that may not be 100% in line with my or other people's opinions :P The series has a lot of smart little writing details that would be hard to catch on a first watch, so I'll continue pointing those out in the comments in the future, I hope you continue enjoying the series! Edit: Oh and concerning Ichikawa and his chunibyou-nes: I understand it may be not be easy to relate for everyone, but I guess keeping in mind he's basically just a kid and cutting him some slack sometimes is good. Not saying you aren't or anything, just maybe if it's hard to naturally relate to him, keeping it in the back of your mind could be good. ^^ he's a sweet boy, so empathetic that he starts crying simply from seeing his crush cry :P

Hahuh

The last line of ep 4 was more like “Just Yamada is good” rather than the translation though could be interpreted in a similar way
