Kyotaro is borrowing manga from Anna, so they’re meeting up for this exchange on Christmas Eve, of course. Will a day together finally close the difference between them? And, finally, after so long, Kyotaro realizes that there’s somebody out there who just likes him as he is. But when the time comes, is he going to say what he wants to say? Or what he needs to say?
My review of the last volume could literally be copy and pasted here and that wouldn’t be a negative for once. This story is one of the most delightfully written rom-com mangas I’m reading right now and possibly the best non-shojo one I’ve ever read.
There is something special about stories of acceptance and being loved for who you are, but also with that little bit of being made a better person through the influence of somebody who means something to you. Of course, Kyotaro’s problem is that he doesn’t think, and has never once thought, that he deserves any sort of acceptance and that’s led to his thick, icy demeanour that is only just starting to thaw.
And thaw it does, even as he makes a colossal mess of his non-date with Anna. Or does he? As usual, Kyotaro is absolutely his worst enemy and he’s the only one in the room thinking any of this. And it’s not that Anna’s pitying him, she doesn’t care because that’s just who he is and she likes that. It’s just the cutest.
The ending of the non-date is vintage Kyotaro thinking he’s an idiot and Anna revealing that for all her goofiness, she is so very perceptive of his personality and habits. It would be the most romantic moment in the book, except, well… it’s not…
Kyotaro’s sister gets a lot to do in this volume as well, instigating the classic ‘changing room incident’ trope, which has a good payoff in an omake later on. She’s interesting and has the perfect ‘pick on you all the time, but secretly has your back’ attitude that many older siblings have.
Her antics at the shrine and the way she is simultaneously behind Kyotaro, but also figuring out how incredibly awful he is at taking so very many chances, is fun. Plus, the way Anna loses her mystique with her is spot on (and she justifies all her teasing with the keychain thing)
There’s also a fantastic appearance by Moe, who turns out to be a great wingman, and a flashback to Kyotaro’s past that shows his descent into what he became. The latter is tied to an awkward bedroom visit that has Anna finding what Kyotaro thinks is his most disturbing hobby pretty neat, showing that, often, you are the one who makes things awkward for yourself.
The “confession” that ends this book is the most perfect moment I’ve seen in a while, a little bit of magic that reminds us that some people do want to be left alone, but some people do not, even if they’ve positioned their entire lives that way. This is so, so much more special than what we could have gotten in a more traditional sense and elegantly lets the mangaka keep us on the hook for at least another volume.
This story is mostly two people talking and texting and it’s still full of both fun and good, sweet romance that never feels forced. Even the minimal fan service just elegantly comes up and goes away just as quickly. This book knows exactly what it is from the first page and feels just so beautifully written.
5 stars - minimal progress is normally a big no from me, but these two just light up every single page and watching them bounce off one another is a pure delight. Top it off with that glorious ending and you have a total crowd pleaser from start to finish.

The Dangers in my heart gets even better!
Our two leads are getting close now. To the point where Ichikawa gets hurt and calls Yamada, who's in her regular around the house clothing, bit revealing, they get all "OH MY OH MY" and then Yamada meets his sister, and things get even more fun. I love this manga for it's slice of life feel but romantic feelings work well with these characters.

Je dévore les tomes les uns après les autres et c’est génial. Et j’avoue que je pense avoir trouvé mon tome préféré. En effet c’est bien celui là. Je l’ai vraiment plus apprécié que les autres au vue de son contenu. De plus, je trouve que dans ce tome les choses changent réellement entre Yamada et Ichikawa. C’est un peu le tome qui va finir par faire basculer la relation entre les deux selon moi.
Dans ce quatrième tome, Anna Yamada, au sommet de la caste des élèves de son collège, et Kuôtarô Ichikawa, un garçon réservé et attiré par la noirceur de l’âme. À peine viennent-ils d’échanger leurs coordonnées que les vacances d’hiver pointent le bout de leur nez. Qu’est-ce qui les attend en dehors de l’école…? Reliés par un objet aussi petit qu’un smartphone, ils continuent d graviter l’un autour de l’autre, entre distance et rapprochements. Leur cœur palpite, lentement, tranquillement, à tout rompre… et les cloche de la nouvelle année résonnent.
Déjà, c’est le premier tome qui se déroule à 95% hors du collège. Et j’ai trouvé ça trop chouette! C’est les vacances de fin d’année et nos deux amis ont prévus de se voir plusieurs fois hors de l’école. J’ai trouvé ces moments beaucoup trop chouette, un brin gênant parfois c’est vrai mais en même temps c’était terriblement mignon et adorable. Le pauvre Ichikawa se retrouve a suivre Yamada dans une séance de shopping et termine par se retrouver dans une situation compromettante, cette scène m’a bien fait rire d’ailleurs! Je trouve également que tout va vraiment changer maintenant. La relation entre les deux a vraiment passé un cap selon moi. Ils se sont montrés un peu plus intime, Yamada est venu chez Ichikawa, elle a rencontré sa famille etc. J’ai très hâte de voir ce qu’il va se passer dans le prochain tome. Je sens que ça va être absolument génial à suivre. J’ai surtout très hâte de voir la relation entre les deux continuer d’évoluer!
Encore un tome vraiment très bon à lire. J’adore suivre les aventures de Yamada et Ichikawa, ils sont drôles et terriblement attachants. J’aime bien les voir apprendre à se connaître de plus en plus, ils sont trop mignons je trouve. Ce tome est définitivement mon préféré pour le moment, je pense que c’est surtout dû au fait qu’il se passe dans un cadre plus intimiste que lorsque ça se déroule au collège!

Wow, loved this. This series has totally found its footing and I was charmed by pretty much everything. I really like the depth to the characters this shows and how the relationship is developing. It’s very well done

The usual clichés, a bit of fan service and the reading is done. Pleasant and easy to spend a carefree hour with, Kyotaro is less gruff and less shy. Sweet sister who gives him the same pendant as Anna.

Finally finished the stuff the first season covered! Fresh stuff on the way! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This thawed my ice cold heart

'The Dangers In My Heart' vol 4 continues to be cute and good; Kyotaro is finally admitting to himself and others that he likes Yamada -- now if only he'd tell her that, since she's obviously also into him. It's not especially ground-breaking, but I'm going to keep enjoying it.

This series continues to shine. The pacing is really good so far. The two main characters really open up and are being honest with themselves. There were a couple really good laughs in this volume.

I am absolutely adoring this series, Yamada & Kyotaro are just so cute together, I want to read more of this series as soon as possible!

It's just cute watching the introvert, or the one who has struggled to make friends finally have someone reach out and slowly bring them out of their shell.
