After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me Episode 6

Misunderstanding Asamiya’s words, “You don’t have to fall in love with me,” Mayama becomes convinced that his feelings were all a misunderstanding, leaving him deeply hurt. In an attempt to forget Asamiya, he starts working part-time delivering flyers during summer vacation. However, no matter how busy he keeps himself, his feelings for Asamiya refuse to disappear. Meanwhile, after unexpectedly running into Sakaki and seeking his advice about love, Mayama is more or less forcibly dragged to a group blind date. But Mayama cannot fit in with the others, and he finds himself preoccupied with the fact that Asamiya misunderstood his feelings. Around the same time, Asamiya opens up to Tsunekawata about his own romantic troubles for the first time. He confesses that, because he desperately did not want to make the person he loves feel burdened, he had tried to distance himself. But the truth is that he cares about Mayama more than anyone. Tsunekawata encourages him to express his feelings honestly, giving Asamiya the courage to face Mayama. Eventually, Asamiya goes to the group blind date venue to pick Mayama up and, without caring about the eyes of those around them, takes him away by the hand. Once they are alone, Asamiya apologizes and explains that when he called himself a “local mascot character,” those words did not reflect his true feelings. He had simply clumsily expressed himself out of fear that Mayama would feel obligated to like him. He then makes it clear once again that his feelings are genuine romantic love, telling Mayama that he is someone so precious to him that he wants to hold his hand and hug him.
