I’m on chapter 25 and I’m a bit confused. He likes her since he was a kid, but wasn’t able to console her after the incident. After that they went to different middle schools and he changed. But why was he dating any girl who asked him out? And did he do anything with them?

He didnt do anything with them, he prioritised loving only 1 person over anything so he would go out with anyone hoping he’d fall for them but allthe girls got scared off because he was too extreme . He was in love with hotaru as a kid and when she gave him the umbrella he fell in love with her all over again. His character growth is really nice to see throughout the series, ask me if you dont understand something

I love that the story jumps straight into the drama. I have gotten tired of stories that hook you in, but then make you wait ages to get to the crux of the story like asking or getting a divorce or disappearing and then waiting for the regret and grovel to appear. Sometimes that arc tends to be short as well
At this point I kinda wish the fl was an adult witch who had her as a child and keep the ml as her romantic interest and loving step father to her child
