Extra 41.1

**Extra 41.1** is an Extra in *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

* Ichikawa is staring into the sky on a hot day, commenting on the weather, while Yamada washes off her scraped knee at a nearby faucet. She asks him what his favorite kind of weather is, and he says he likes days where the clouds have big cracks of sky running through them, and just a bit of light shines through. He looks over at Yamada's bleeding knee, and mentally asks if she needs to go to the Nurse's Office. She says his choice of clouds is romantic, and mystical. He continues to worry about her knee, while she talks about how she likes cumulonimbus clouds, and he adds that it's because she likes cotton candy, which she affirms. Still anxious about her wound, he watches her and realizes that she has appears to have another cut on her elbow, and grabs her as she tries to take off, finally vocalizing his desire for her to go to the infirmary. She clarifies that it was just blood from her knee cut that she had rubbed there, but that she'll go with him. She tries to interlock their arms, but he recoils, and she calls him a nervous punk.

* A bonus page is Chi lamenting that she has to play the goalie in the soccer match.

* Another color page is Yamada in her casual outfit on her bed. It's a Saturday, and she is dreaming of Ichikawa, worrying that he won't look at her. She wakes up, checks her phone, and brushes her teeth messily.

* The first image is an advertisement for a special art booklet for the series from various mangaka.

* Next, a follow-up to the previous Extra, Ichikawa is in the Nurse's Office, but she isn't there. He gets some bandages, gauze, and disinfectant, and Yamada sits down on a bed. She cleans her wound and applies the bandage, saying her mother is going to be upset. She then motions to her bare foot, telling him to look, and pointing out a scar. She says she had an accident when she was little on the playground, and had to get stitches. She says her nerves are damaged in that spot, and she can't feel anything there, so tells him to touch it. Nervously, he does so, pressing at the spot with her finger, while she leans back, closes her eyes, and asks if he's doing it. He says yes, and continues pressing, but the gauze he got earlier slips from his hand and brushes against the sole of her foot, causing her to flinch and panic. She accuses him of touching her sole, and unaware of what happened, he denies it. The scene cuts to the nurse, hiding behind the curtain in a nearby bed, looking content, while the two bicker.

* Yamada and Ichikawa are doing their usual daily routine, saying good morning, going to classes, etc. When it's time for them to leave for the day, Yamada proposes a race to the shoe racks. She takes off and beats him there, looking smug and asking for a prize. At first he thinks that he has nothing for her, but he remembers something and fishes out a Country Ma'am Chocolate and Vanilla Cookie. He talks about the cookie and how he was planning on having it for breakfast, since he was in a rush, but Yamada is infatuated with the confectionery, spins it around and squishes it, commenting on the softness of it. He says that's how that brand is.

* Another page is Kana thinking about White Day and asking Kyoutarou if he got any chocolate from anyone other than her. He considers his previous interactions where he got chocolate from Yamada, asking himself if it counts, but can't decide. His sister nervously asks if he got so much that he can't even remember.

* Ichikawa is at home on the couch, looking through "Anna Akino's" Instagram page, which is mostly images of food or herself with food. One image is of her holding two meat buns, which he calls suggestive, because it implies she will need to share it with the viewer. He gets overexcited at the prospect, and says he should stop looking, but ends up saving a bunch of images instead. A panel shows that Yamada has no problem eating both buns, however. Kana appears after a shower, curious about what he is thinking about, while he looks off into space, considering Yamada's Instagram pictures.

* Another color page is Yamada and Ichikawa thinking on the series winning 4th Place in the "Manga I Want To Be Animated Ranking." Ichikawa's runaway imagination envisions the anime with Yamada and Hara in their school swimsuits, but Yamada's idea is of her and Ichikawa drawn in a more Western comedy cartoon style.

* On an especially windy day, Yamada catches up with Ichikawa as they walk to school. She greets him, but she is holding down her skirt to prevent it from blowing up, and the wind catches her hair, revealing her forehead, and he, only half-aware of what he's saying, declares that hers is quite wide. She becomes immediately self-conscious, and moves her hands to her head, smoothing down her hair so he can't see her forehead. Realizing it may have been a sensitive thing for her, he panics, telling himself that he meant it was wide and lovely. The wind rages again, this time blowing up her skirt, and showing her shorts. Realizing he's caused a problem, Ichikawa grabs his own hair and swipes it upwards, showing off his own forehead, saying that his is wide, too. Her complex immediately vanishes, and she smiles as he explains that they're similar in that regard, though he finds the comment to be gross. Feeling adventurous, she grabs a hair clip from her pocket and puts it on his head, holding his hair up and keeping his forehead exposed. She whispers to him to keep it like that for the entire day. The scene cuts to them in class, with him still having his hair up, and Yamada's in a similar fashion, to match him. Embarrassed, he asks for the sweet release of death.

* Another image is from Sakurai Norio's copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with her character looking like Yamada, and showing off an in-game pixel art of her cat, Mamelon.

* Another color image is a continuation of the first. It's a selfie with Yamada and Ichikawa with their hair up, and she is looking happy and doing a peace sign, while he can barely hold in his indignity.

* Another page is of the half-created image of Yamada and Ichikawa when he is pressing on her scar from the previous extra. The tool box from her art application is covering Ichikawa's arm and Yamada's foot, making the image look more suggestive than it already is.

* Another image is of Class 2-3, with two images stacked on top of each other in a "Spot the Differences" setup.

* Finally, a color page is Yamada and Ichikawa advertising the Volume 3 collected manga.

## Trivia

* Ichikawa has a hand in his pocket in all of the scenes leading up to the cookie reveal, so he was likely looking for an opportunity to give it to her as a gift, and his story was just a cover. Yamada may have noticed he was trying to work up the courage, as she asks him what is going on, and used the race as a catalyst to get him to give her the present.

* The differences between the two spot-the-difference images include: The volleyball being a different color, Hara's hand being open, Kanzaki's expression, Chi's phone design, the blood splatter on Ichikawa's book, Adachi's shirt having a different number of buttons, the pie-chart having different colors, the length of Serina's skirt, the papers on the board being moved, Yamada's cardigan, and there being a blue pen in the open book.

* Yamada's last saved photo in the selfie is also of Ichi, looking shocked. She likely has a few of them.
