In the first episode of the second season of "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu," we meet Kyotaro Ichikawa again, who starts his third year of school with a broken arm after an accident in Akita. Various interactions between him and his classmates follow, with his relationship with Anna Yamada taking center stage.
Throughout the day, Ichikawa becomes the center of attention due to his cast, and his classmates are eager to have him sign it. There’s a mix of concern and playful teasing from his peers about his injury. Anna Yamada is particularly worried. She suggests Ichikawa ask someone for help, hinting at herself, but Ichikawa, hesitant and embarrassed, dismisses the idea.
The narrative then shifts to a scene in the classroom, where Ichikawa struggles with his one-handed limitations, especially when taking notes. Yamada, noticing his difficulties, offers him her notes, leading to a misunderstanding as Ichikawa believes Yamada paid him a compliment. This lighthearted moment is interrupted when Ichikawa grows more confident and accepts her help.
As the episode progresses, we learn more about Yamada’s life outside school. It turns out she is not only a model but also works in television and film, which surprises some of her classmates. This revelation causes excitement among the boys in the class and leads to an awkward conversation between Ichikawa and Yamada.
On their way home, Yamada shares her experiences from a photoshoot, her nervousness, and how she tried to act naturally. Ichikawa, struggling to express himself, attempts to compliment her, resulting in an awkward yet sincere exchange between the two.
The following scenes further explore the dynamics of their relationship, with Ichikawa often lost in his thoughts about Yamada and their interactions. This includes a flashback to an event during winter break and discussions about their respective vacations. Yamada’s increasing involvement in Ichikawa’s daily activities, especially her help in managing his injury, becomes a central theme.
The climax of the episode revolves around a lost dog keychain that Yamada deeply cherishes, leading to Ichikawa’s desperate search in the snow. Despite his injury and the cold, he is determined to find it. The search ends successfully when Yamada joins him, and they find the keychain together, creating a moment of gratitude and closeness between them.
The episode ends with Yamada inviting Ichikawa to warm up at her place.
