Ep 12. I Love You, Shiraishi!

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches is a popular anime series that follows the journey of Ryuu Yamada, a delinquent high-school student who discovers that he has the power to switch bodies with anyone he kisses. In this episode, titled "I Love You, Shiraishi!", Yamada confesses his love for Urara Shiraishi - the girl he has been switching bodies with the most - but things don't go as planned.

The episode starts with Yamada and Shiraishi arriving at school together, as they have been doing for the past few days. Yamada is nervous and fidgety because today is the day he plans to confess his love to Shiraishi. He has been practicing what to say for days, but when the moment finally arrives, he can't bring himself to speak up. He keeps getting distracted by random things, like a bird flying by or someone sneezing in the background.

Throughout the day, Yamada tries to find the perfect opportunity to confess his feelings to Shiraishi, but he keeps failing. Every time he tries to talk to her, something gets in the way, like a teacher calling them over or a student interrupting them. It seems like fate is conspiring against him.

Meanwhile, Shiraishi is oblivious to Yamada's inner turmoil. She is busy with her own problems - she has a big test coming up and she needs to study hard for it. She tries to focus on her studies, but every time she looks at Yamada, she gets distracted. She can sense that something is wrong with him, but she doesn't know what it is.

As the day progresses, Yamada gets increasingly frustrated. He feels like he's running out of time, like he's never going to get the chance to tell Shiraishi how he feels. He starts to think that maybe he should just give up and move on, but he can't bring himself to do it. Shiraishi is too important to him.

Finally, after school is over, Yamada decides to take matters into his own hands. He meets Shiraishi by the school gates and pulls her aside. He tells her that he needs to talk to her, that he has something important to say. Shiraishi is hesitant at first because she's in a rush to get home, but when she sees how serious Yamada looks, she agrees to listen.

Yamada takes a deep breath and starts to speak. He tells Shiraishi that he loves her, that he has loved her for a long time. He explains that every time he switches bodies with her, he feels like he's getting closer to her, like he's sharing something special with her. He tells her that he wants to be with her, that he wants to make her happy.

Shiraishi is taken aback by Yamada's confession. She had no idea that he felt this way about her. She doesn't know what to say, so she just stares at him for a few seconds. Yamada starts to panic, thinking that he has messed everything up. But then, Shiraishi smiles at him and says, "Thank you, Yamada-kun. I'm happy to hear that."

Yamada is overjoyed. He can't believe that Shiraishi is actually happy about what he just said. He asks her if she feels the same way about him, but she hesitates. She tells him that she needs some time to think about it, that she doesn't want to rush into anything. Yamada is disappointed, but he understands. He tells her that he'll wait for her, that he'll be patient.

The episode ends with Yamada and Shiraishi walking home together, talking about their plans for the future. They are both happy to have finally expressed their feelings for each other, even if things are still uncertain. They know that they have a long road ahead of them, but they are willing to take it together. The future may be uncertain, but for now, they are happy just to be by each other's side.
