## Chapter Chronology

**"Someday, my real..."** (いつか俺のほんとの, *Itsuka Ore no Honto no*) is the 103rd chapter of Mashiro's manga series, *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999*.

## Summary

Takaya and Akane unexpectedly met at the lively night of the Gunma festival while Takaya is currently working at his yakisoba stall. He asked if Akane had come alone, and she mentioned her boyfriend, Yamada, was with her brother Kotaro at the restroom. Despite feeling a bit down, Takaya continued arranging items at their stall. During their chat, Micchan's enthusiastic announcement at the beer stall caught their attention. Akane immediately recognized Micchan's voice, while Takaya highlighted Micchan's loudness, hinting at something deeper.

When Takaya offered Akane some yakisoba, she hesitated briefly before accepting. He subtly referred to the karaoke gossip, where Micchan accidentally disclosed Takaya's feelings for Akane. This made Akane uneasy and led to an awkward pause. After apologizing for the discomfort caused by Micchan's revelation, Takaya confessed his long-standing feelings for Akane, regretting not expressing them earlier due to his immaturity. Although surprised, Akane stayed silent, seemingly pondering his words.

As Yamada and Kotaro waited for the restroom, an awkward silence fell between them. Kotaro, feeling uneasy, started talking about the previous year's festival with his sister, Kaede. He was frustrated because Kaede often got caught up in long chats with friends, leaving him waiting around.

Meanwhile, Yamada, dressed in clothes borrowed from Daichi which was lent by Kaede, wondered if there was a nearby store during the quiet moment. Sensing the prolonged silence, Kotaro started sharing his complaints about having sisters, explaining how they took forever in the bathroom, bath, and makeup routines, causing delays. Yamada, an only child, couldn't fully understood Kotaro's problems, though he thought of the pros of having siblings himself as well.

Thinking back on the times when Takaya used to visit when Akane, his older sister, still lived at home, Kotaro wished for an older brother. He cherished the fun times playing games with Takaya, seeing him as a true older brother figure. Kotaro wondered if Takaya could someday be a real brother to him. Yamada interrupted Kotaro, saying the toilet was free, and Kotaro hurried off. Left alone, Yamada thought about Kotaro's words, especially since Akane, Kotaro's sister, was Yamada's girlfriend.

As they wandered around the festival, Kotaro asked Yamada what he wanted to eat, suggesting fried squid. Agreeing with the idea, Yamada decided on the same. But then, Kotaro also mentioned wanting yakisoba, noting that their mom mentioned Takaya and Daichi having a stall.

While walking, Kotaro spotted Akane chatting with Takaya in the distance and tried to signal Yamada. But before Kotaro could say anything, Yamada brought up what Kotaro had mentioned earlier. He asserted that Takaya couldn't be Kotaro's big brother because Yamada planned to marry Kotaro's sister. The discussion left Kotaro silent, paying close attention to Yamada's words. Yamada then encouraged Kotaro to join Akane, signaling that she was calling for them. Though confused, Kotaro followed Yamada toward Akane, who was smiling as they approached her.
