yeah im thinking the same thing too. and it looks like haruto was doing the same thing that the previous neighbor of ren that fostered him was doing all along. well idk if that was intentional, but it was def the same, it just so happened that some viewers might view it differently because of haruto's inner monologue of concern and the want to protect ren, which is ironic considering he's doing the same thing by taking advantage of the situation. he should've stopped and draw the line when ren was doing something for 'compensation.' idk why people were upset that they didn't reunite tho, i think that's for the best considering ren went through so much shits, he really needed that ngl
Yup now that I’m older this is 100% what was happening grooming. It was romanticized and the got doesn’t go out of their way to condemn this behavior, so I think it was intentional otherwise it wouldn’t be a romance story
Wow, being an adult and having a kid makes you think about it in a different way, no? When I was younger, i thought this is pretty good, that yey he found someone. Now that im older... It's a no, that is still taking advantage of him, aside from him being a minor, he doesn't know a damn thing.
