I think you seem to forget that if the mc is 18, Hatano would be 15 years old. He explicitly stated, 'Wait for me in 3 years!' indicating a 3-year age gap. Even if the main character is not 18, but perhaps 19, Hatano would still be 16 years old, which is still concerning. AND if they do end up dating they have to date after 3 years bc you can literally end up in jail bc ur dating a minor. Even hatano realized that.
No that just means that I like to overuse emojis to piss you off and it is working. And replace pressed with concern. And if i am the one getting pressed on a pixels then It seems like you are the one who is pressed about some tiny yellow dudes pixels emoji. Why do you even care about my use of emoji gurl. I mean come on it low of you to be talking about emoji!
your whole comment is you crying about how japanese people love age gap relationships and how you don't wanna see hatano with mc because he's too young, but you're saying me mentioning your emoji usage once is me being pressed? nice try, but you're gonna turn the tables on me or whatever the hell you think you're doing. keep crying harder tho, maybe the author will see your comment stereotyping her and will change the story to personally tailor to your tastes. again, you're crying and whining about a bunch of pixels, it ain't that fucking deep.
also saying it again hatano most likely won't be a serious love interest anyway. this manga seems very much like those mangas that go on forever with something fun happening each chapter rather than focusing on character development and personal relationships too much (at least when it comes to mc anyway). mc genuinely doesn't seem interested in hatano (for now) and hatano's thing seems like a puppy love type. and as much as you hate hatano x mc people are going to ship who they want, that's kind of the whole point of shipping.
I'm hoping that the author don't make hatano the ML but I assuming he is bc of how the author is adding more chatper about him but I really can't. why can't it be Mizumoto like why does Japanese people love the huge age gap difference like bro is still in highschool and mc is a full Adult like dude
