Chapter 90: I'm Tangled Up

**I'm Tangled Up** is the ninetieth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

Two panels show a comparison between Ichikawa, Adachi, and Kanzaki's dispositions on the dates of March 13th (Monday), and March 16th (Friday). On Monday, they are all three fretting about the upcoming White Day, but come Friday Adachi is in the same state, while Ichikawa and Kanzaki are beaming. Adachi explodes, asking why they seem so satisfied. Kanzaki and Oota ask what he's even fretting over, because what Moe gave him was friend chocolate. He begs them to let him have his youth, while Moe smiles smugly in the foreground.

In the hallway after school, Adachi is holding a small package, and Ichikawa inquires into it. He claims there is a 300-Yen bag of cookies inside, and explains his plan to put it in her shoebox. In his imagiation, he tosses the package into her cubby with his best-acted attempt at being casual, which Ichikawa finds to be a distorted perception of himself. He explains his plan where Moe will notice the cookies and Ichikawa will come up as a "witness" to explain the scenario to her, making her impressed with his intricate wrapping. Ichikawa is not impressed with his imaginary scenario, however. Ichikawa notices that Moe is walking towards them with Yamada, and informs Adachi, who attempts to reenact his imagination spot, but misses the cubby, and attempts to correct it by placing it inside, but again messes up, putting it into Yamada's, before fast-walking off.

Yamada finds the gift in her shoebox, and looks it over, with an excited Moe claiming it must be for White Day. Ichikawa attempts to interject, but realizes he's outing Adachi by doing so, and Moe begins walking off, thinking the gift must be for Yamada. He suddenly grabs Moe's arm, making the excuse that it's nice to chat in a group at times.

Outside, they are sitting on a brick planter, while Moe goes over the scenario, trying to figure things out. She says maybe the gift is from another boy, but Yamada replies that she didn't give any other boys (meaning except Ichikawa) chocolate, which he mentally yells at her for revealing. He considers how he needs to clear up the misunderstanding, or else it's going to cause problems, while Yamada talks about how nice the gift is, and how romantic it is putting it in a shoebox. She bickers over which method is best with Moe, before noticing that there is a letter attached to the box. Ichikawa tries to begin his explanation, but at that moment they are interrupted by Adachi's mother, who has dragged Adachi over to them. Adachi attempts to run away, but she grabs him and demands that he thank Moe properly for her gift, while the three other students look on in amazement at the antics before them. Adachi is forced in front of Moe, and makes a big deal of clearing his throat before beginning, thanking her for the delicious chocolate, and saying it was super nice of her to do so. She waves it off, saying she gave it to everyone, but he affirms that that's what he meant. His mother, satisfied, lets him go while rubbing his head, saying he did a good job.

After the Adachi family leaves, Moe hands over the gift to Yamada as Ichikawa realizes he never cleared up the misunderstanding of who it was for. She opens the letter, reading:

*Dear Lovers, The chocolate was totally delish. Super thanks. Keep on doing that stuff I luv. Kiss kissy kiss.*

Yamada envisions Ichikawa as the one saying this to her, and becomes super embarrassed and flustered at the idea. He tries to reach for the letter, but she keeps it away at arm's length.

## Trivia

The cover page shows that while Ichikawa is trying to grab for the letter, at a point immediately following the Chapter, Moe trips him intentionally to have him fall on top of Yamada.
