Anyone reading milkgreentea’s message, don’t believe it. That person has no idea what they’re talking about.
One thing, Male MC is creepy. He has stated this, and so have others. They are all aware, so this really doesn’t mean much at the end of the day if everyone recognizes it.
He’s the first one, or the first male to accept her as she is. Defends her, and protects her.
They’re in a relationship, not friends. He’s a guy, she’s a girl. As a guy myself, I know the feeling of jealousy.
Hiyami in no way, shape, or form is more mature than Tagami.
People just dislike the fact that men in manga can get jealous, and have feelings. Is he not supposed to be jealous of a random male he doesn’t know much about getting close to his girlfriend? Even with confirmation from her, why invalidate his feelings? He’s uncomfortable, he’s supposed to be, that’s her boyfriend. And Hiyami is a random male.
They state Hiyami is more mature because he doesn’t make advances on Tsugomi since she’s taken…yeah no duh? That’s the bare minimum. No one wants to be a homewrecker, lol. Why should he make advances if she has a BF? Use common sense.
And then they state he is more mature because he’s happy she is with that. That isn’t maturity, that simply acceptance. He knows he can’t be with her, lol. He simply likes that she is happy, that doesn’t show maturity. As her so called “Friend” he should want her to be happy.
“ Who says things like that, seriously? He's just making things messier by complicating a sensitive situation with hypothetical questions.
Tsumugi was honest so she didn't say something like "Hiyama's words won't ever affect me!! only you do Tagami-kun <3!" So instead, she thinks about it”
She thinks about it for a while, lol. She stands there, facing him, simply looking. She hesitates multiple times, so of course he would assume. Use common sense, if my girlfriend is hesitating when I ask a question it shows that there most be some confirmation of feelings.
“But the thing is, Tagami put her in a corner by using a hypothetical situation like this b/c if Hiyama hypothetically does affect her self-esteem if he confessed, Tagami would feel justified of his jealousy and anger while Tsumugi will feel guilty, even though it isn't cheating.”
He didn’t put her in the corner, he asked her a genuine question. Why shouldn’t he ask this? This is a random male, getting close to his GF. Is he just supposed to be unbothered? Hold in his feelings. Tsumugi literally states herself that he is continually holding back how he feels. So the one time he asks these questions, he’s at fault. Is he not supposed to expressive himself to his GF.
Yes, it’s hypothetical. But don’t females all the time ask hypotheticals and get upset? Even if it’s a hypothetical, what would happen if the situation does come around. It’s a genuine question, that needs a genuine answer.
“ Why isn't Tsumugi cheating in this case?
Because for Tsumugi, who gets made fun of b/c of her body weight, she has a low self-esteem, so if someone - ANYONE - tells her "I like you" of course it would boost her self-esteem even if she doesn't like that person back romantically and would decline his love confession.”
So you’re implying she should cheat? Lol.
Of course it’ll boost her confidence, he Tagami doesn’t have a problem with that. But this isn’t just a random person asking her. This is her so called “male friend”. Which once again, Tagami barely knows anything about.
Overall, the second lead syndrome take is idiotic.
Hoya I wouldn’t have been better for her, lol. She doesn’t like him, that isn’t how love works.
Y’all(second lead lovers), think just because the second lead is nicer(for the small amount of time they’re shown compared to the ML, because the ML also has been there from the beginning, when they(FL)have their problems), while the Second Lead always comes around when the Female Lead is “Fixed” or better looked at by others. Overall, Second Leads will always be trash. Same with Hiyami.
This is exactly why Japanese people don’t like readers from others counties. You don’t apply common sense.
