Episode 13 begins with Yamada handling a delicate situation with Tsubaki. Tsubaki likes Yamada, but he doesn’t feel the same way. He handles it with kindness, which only makes the viewer root for him even more.

Then, a breakthrough for Yamada—he realizes he has deep feelings for Akane. This is a pretty big deal, as he’s been dancing around this fact for a while now.

The story continues with Akane meeting up with her FOS gaming friends. By the end, she’s a little too tipsy, and guess who’s there to help her? Good old Yamada, always ready to lend a hand.

And now comes the fun twist. Instead of confessing her feelings to Akane like we’d normally expect, she asks Yamada if he likes her. Well, that gets Yamada to finally admit that he’s more than just a little in love with Akane.

With Yamada’s heartwarming confession, we see a positive shift in their relationship. He calls her the next day (as he promised) and confirms that they’re now officially a couple.

And so, the final episode comes to an end. This finale wraps up the season on a high note, leaving us with a warm, fuzzy feeling. While we keep our fingers crossed for another season, it’s comforting to know that Yamada and Akane are starting a beautiful new chapter in their lives. Even if the anime doesn’t continue, their story lives on, and they’ll level up together in life.
