In Episode 7, we witness Yamada's attitude toward relationships. Although he is the center of female attention, Yamada seems to avoid acknowledging the romantic intentions directed at him. His lack of reaction is unusual for the typical character who feels uncomfortable around women, as often seen in romantic comedies.

His preference for conversations about games, as in his chat with his classmate Tsubaki, suggests that he feels more at ease with straightforward, goal-oriented interactions than with the murky waters of human emotions. These interactions give us a glimpse into Yamada's personality, which at first appears empty.

The majority of this episode focuses on Yamada's quieter moments and deviates from the high-energy chaos of Akane's story. Akane's straightforward nature and her distance from school politics make her a suitable romantic interest for Yamada. Her actions, such as cooking for her loved ones or insisting on repayment for computer repairs, are a clear sign of her feelings. These actions align with Yamada's preference for clear interactions and mirror his satisfaction with the binary win-lose conditions of games.

While this episode is less flashy than its predecessor, it still showcases the series' craftsmanship. The decision not to focus on faces in the opening scene subtly emphasizes Yamada's difficulties in interacting directly with people. The attention given to small details, like the homemade omelet or the "Out of Order" sign on Akane's computer, highlights the visual storytelling.
