**I'm Creepy** is the eighty-sixth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*. It begins Volume 7 of the collected manga.

## Summary

At the Ichikawa house, Kana is excitedly declaring that Kyoutarou is going viral while watching a video of his speech along with their parents. He walks in on them watching, and, embarrassed, interrupts their viewing by waving his arms over her phone, while she asks what he's going to do if he keeps getting more popular. She roleplays him turning down the ladies by telling them he already has someone he likes, and he gets nervous wondering if she somehow learned about what happened in the nurse's office. Kana proposes practicing him turning down girls.

At school, Kyoutarou is still reeling over the realization that Yamada likes him. He sees her in class, and they avert eyes nervously, while he considers how even with this, things haven't changed between them. He even considers how things will be dangerous since he has been operating with her being at zero affection, but his actions from here on could lose him points, and a fall from a high point could cause problems. He considers how he needs to be careful, but catches himself in a creepy grin, smacking himself and telling himself he needs to get a grip. Yamada begins to walk up to him to talk, but Chi suddenly invites her to a karaoke party with some of the graduating basketball club members. Yamada excitedly decides to go, and Kyoutarou leaves the room, considering it a poor time to get involved. As he walks outside, however, he runs into the basketball club, with the girls saying that Yamada is also coming to the karaoke, but realizes that the boys half of the club is also there. He gets immediately jealous and follows them all the way to the karaoke place, ending up alone in his own room and thinking over how much of a creep he's being.

With his back to the wall (unknowingly next to Yamada), he considers how this is a normal graduation party, and asks what he's even doing. Inside, Yamada is offered the microphone to sing next, but her mouth is full of food, so she declines. A song is sung, and again she is offered the mic, but is still eating, which Chi calls her out for always doing. Kyoutarou rapidly runs past the open door of their karaoke room to glance at Yamada, calling his action risky, but runs into three other girls in her group. They instantly recognize him as the "farewell address" kid, and fawn over him momentarily, then ask him to sing with them, pushing him into the room and garnering a shocked reaction from Yamada. Chi bluntly asks him why he's there, and he bolts out of the room back into his own. Inside, he reacts with shame, calling himself a creepy stalker spying on a party he's not involved with, but Yamada walks into the room and sits down beside him. He asks what she's doing and that she should be enjoying the festivities, but she reminds him that she quit the club halfway through the year, and she feels a bit like an outsider. She asks him what he is doing, and he considers his options, thinking about writing it off as a coincidence, but imagines her asking him to sing when he tells her he does karaoke alone, which is no good. She asks him directly if he followed them, which he tries poorly to write-off. She brings up their previous interaction in the nurse's office, where she said she likes someone, and asks if he heard her say that. He can hardly believe that she's bringing this up now, and she continues, saying her heart skipped a beat when she said it. She says that it made things feel even more true, and how it made her feel funny. She apologizes, saying that he doesn't have to worry, but he says that that isn't what he was panicking over, and, in a moment of assertiveness decides to face his creepiness directly, and declares openly that he didn't like her being around the boys on the team. Yamada begins poking him continuously in the back with her finger teasingly, while the girls outside the room ask themselves what's going on inside with them alone.

A bonus page is two 4koma comics: Firstly, Ichikawa is attempting Karaoke, but stumbles and mumbles through the words. He asks how it turned out this way, and he notices Nigorikawa in the doorway, but when he asks him to light a fire underneath him like with the student address, he gets ignored. Second, two of the girls ask Ichikawa about his speech, and it begins to go to his head when they compliment them. Chi calls him creepy, which brings him back to Earth, and later he thanks her for doing so.

Another bonus is a chart of characters and their personalities as shown on an + chart. The four quadrants are good person, bad person, refreshing, and creepy.
