I'm shocked at the amount of comments against Hatano! Oh?

On one hand yeah but on the other hand it makes sense cause Hatano is currently winning so a lot of people feel threatened by him.

I’m assuming it’s cause he’s a minor or he’d def be rooted for

It's even funnier when you realize that the reason Hatano still has a chance is because he's a minor. Because if he was an adult he would have confessed and would have been rejected and cut ties with the mc. So as a minor they cannot go out and they can only interact as acquaintances and get to know each other.

wait you cooked I never thought of it like that lmao

makes sense I genuinely forgot the mc wasn't in highschool anymore, but either way I saw some people being mean to him not a kid's fault for crushing on an older guy. Thankfully mc is clearly not interested

omg that's a good observation
