10

Kyotaro and Yamada start their third year of middle school. Excited to see each other, they hold hands, drawing glares from the rest of the class. While most of Yamada's friends and Kyotaro are in the same homeroom, Chi is unsure which class she is in. After a visit to the faculty office, everyone is relieved to find out that Chi is also in Yamada's class. After class, Yamada gives Kyotaro a wallet chain as a gift. While helping him put it on, three other girls enter the room. Yamada and Kyotaro hide to avoid getting caught together. The girls leave, and as Kyotaro gets up, Yamada inadvertently pulls his pants down. Sekine returns to the class, sees the scene, and is shocked, stating she won't cover for them anymore. After school the boys walk home, Kyotaro is asked how he feels about Yamada. He replies that he's glad they are in the same class since they are good friends. On another day, Yamada and Kyotaro spend some time together at the library. They discuss their growth and changes in height. Despite Kyotaro considering confessing to Yamada, their time together is disrupted when Yurine walks in. The next day, Kyotaro sits in the back of the class and Yurine switches seats so that Yamada can sit next to him. In order to keep the class unaware, Kyotaro tries his best to stay at arms length with Yamada. After class, he finds a note that Yamada wrote for Yurine. The note explained that they were not a couple yet. It also mentioned that Kyotaro is really shy and that she does not need help in furthering their relationship. Embarrassed by the letter, Kyotaro also feels a greater urge to ask Yamada out. (Source: Wikipedia)
