i think part of it might be because of an established trope. you know that trope where A likes his friend B but B likes someone else, so A falls in love with B's sibling instead? i believe people like who like that trope want to see Yanagi and MC end up together. personally, if Yanagi *has* to end up with someone, i hope it's the thickheaded friend Misato (?). i don't really see much appeal in MC x Yanagi.
See few people shipping Yanagi and Mc. Why him
