I Hate Yamada Anna tries to get Kyotaro’s Line, but he is oblivious in part because she isn't direct. Anna decides to get it when Moeko suggests a group chat for their class, but Moeko intercepts her and gets his Line first, infuriating her. The situation eventually makes Kyotaro realize she was asking for his Line the whole time. Haruya asks Chii out to get closer to Anna, but Anna can’t bring herself to upset Chii by telling her. Two girls ask Anna about boyfriends, but when Anna firmly denies having one they realize she is saying it for Kyotaro’s benefit, and leave them alone. When Haruya arrives Anna fakes a kiss with Kyotaro, so he leaves and Moeko ends up telling Chii the truth about Haruya. Kyotaro angrily convinces himself Anna has been using him to deter Haruya since they met, so he ignores her for the next two days. Upset, Anna confronts him and asks if she did anything wrong and starts crying. Kyotaro realizes Anna isn’t cruel enough to use people. When he apologizes she impulsively hugs him, and this time he lets her. They end up talking their whole walk home and since it is winter break the next day Anna asks him to meet out of school, this time openly asking for his Line and they end up texting all night.
