The story definitely did water down what he did, at most you could see it being framed as almost sinister tho. I don't get how some people in the comments can sympathize with him

//TW child grooming analysis thing cause Hiro is gross and perfectly shows how real life child grooming works but the story watered down the impact of his actions
Hiro isn't just a casual romantic rival that should have been glossed over after an apology, like what Tori did. He's by definition, a child groomer and predator. HE'S A PEDOPHILE literally-
The incident happened in 5th grade, and they started the rituals at the beginning of his first year of highschool. Which means Tori was 15 (at oldest) and Hiro was 19 and in college (at youngest). He slowly got Tori used to touching under the innocent guise of helping out with bad luck. It started with hugs, holding hands, then slowly got to kissing, and finally essentially sex with toys/foreplay.
it doesn't matter if Tori was sexually curious and technically "consented". Children can't consent. He was manipulated into thinking it was okay and Hiro knew what he was doing. He was fully aware.
Anyway the story was cute but Ryoma needed to break his nose to crush his balls or SOMETHING
