Professor Yamada

Not to be confused with Yamada the mangaka, who Shouta Kisa manages at Emerald.Yamada (山田, Yamada) is a minor character in the Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi series. He is a professor at Touto University of the Arts at which he has been seen co-teaching oil painting classes.
==Appearance==
Yamada is a tall man with dark hair and a few wrinkles on his face. He usually appears in business casual clothing fitting for his job as a university professor.
== Plot ==
In “The Case of Kou Yukina No.1,” Yamada is shown harshly critiquing Kou Yukina’s painting, calling his artwork superficial and soulless. This leads Yukina to eventually being able to come to a point where he is reflecting his emotions in his work.
In “The Case of Kou Yukina No.2,” he instead critiques the way that Yukina is painting his emotional state for the whole world to see when Yukina is in a particularly bad mood, but still says it’s better than what he was making before he stepped in with his initial critique in his debut chapter.
In “The Case of Kou Yukina No.4,” he critiques the way in which Yukina’s work is not clearly communicating its meaning to the viewer, but notably more gently than he has critiqued him in past chapters.
== Relationships ==
=== Kou Yukina ===
As pointed out by his classmates in “The Case of Kou Yukina No.4,” Yamada will often ignore the students that he doesn’t care for. Since he goes out of his way to push Yukina and critique his work so much, it is likely that he has high expectations of him.
== Trivia ==
* Yamada shares a surname with one of the mangaka that are published through Emerald, another Yamada with an unknown first name who Shouta Kisa manages.
