Can't say strong women turn me off. is the 3rd chapter of Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo.[1]
Synopsis
'Yamada' asks a question about classwork, to the amazement of the teacher and amusement of 'Shiraishi'. 'Her' enjoyment is cut short, however, when 'her' friends invite her to eat lunch together, but 'she' ends up enjoying "boob heaven" instead, so it's a fair trade off.[2] Yamada remarks that Shiraishi was right when she said things have changed at school earlier that day. Five hours ago, she noticed that thanks to their body-switching, he has good grades and she has friends. The biggest change of all is that school has now become enjoyable for the two of them. In response, he proposed an experiment: spend the day as the other until school was over.
Back in the present, Yamada is gorging himself on the food offered to him by Shiraishi's friends, who are entertained by how he devours everything. He muses that people aren't noticing the difference between her and him, since body-switching seems too absurd to even think about. As he is lost in thought, Toranosuke Miyamura comes to the classroom and calls out to 'Shiraishi', saying that it's been a while and that he wants to talk. Yamada is wary, and wonders if Miyamura knows her, especially since he has a reputation in the delinquent circles, which seems inconsistent with Shiraishi's proper lifestyle. When a friend of 'hers' asks if Miyamura's looking for a date, he denies it and invokes his authority as vice-president of the Student Council, requesting a conversation with the top student of their year. Seeing no way of getting out of it, Yamada plays along and leaves with him.
On the rooftop, Yamada asks Miyamura what he wants. Miyamura mentions that he didn't think 'she' was the type of girl who would rough up those peeping toms. Yamada is immediately alert, wondering if he suspects something, but reconsiders and thinks that he wouldn't know that he isn't Shiraishi. Yamada plays the part of a clumsy girl, saying 'she' slipped and punched them. Miyamura leans in, and after looking at 'her', suggests that he "can't say strong women turn [him] off".[3] Thoroughly uncomfortable, Yamada concludes that he is in love with Shiraishi and inches away from him. Miyamura asks if 'Shiraishi' remembers the promise they made, which is to go on a date today. Yamada is immediately chagrined, shocked that Shiraishi would agree to such a thing.
Yamada walks down the street with Miyamura, cursing Shiraishi in his head for not giving him any warning and forcing him to go on a date with a guy. Yamada's vexation only grows, as girls flock to Miyamura, despite his callousness to them. Miyamura then asks 'her' about the rumor that 'she' and Yamada are best friends, which 'she' immediately denies. Miyamura comments that a top student like 'her' and a delinquent like him being close is completely ludicrous anyway, which pisses off 'Shiraishi'.
Before 'she' can adequately respond, however, the peeping toms 'she' caught appear and heckle 'her', blaming 'her' for their expulsion while 'she' sees it fit to go off and enjoy a date. Yamada acts helpless, and asks Miyamura to save him. He agrees, and tells 'her' to hide, but he is quickly beaten. Believing Miyamura to be unconscious, Yamada knocks one of the peepers unconscious with a roundhouse kick. When he turns to face the other two, however, he finds that they have already been defeated. Miyamura shows up, explaining that he knew something was off with the peeping incident, and admits that he doesn't even know Shiraishi, let alone promise anything to her. He recognized the kick 'she' gave the peeper, and asks if 'she' is really Yamada. In his attempt to deny it, Yamada slips up and says things Shiraishi wouldn't, further proving his point. Miyamura grabs him by the collar and asks him for a favor.
