Nah I agree, even if the argument is "he wanted to be her brother," he wanted to be her brother because he wanted the attention she gave to her actual brother. I think ppl r also forgetting that this kid lost his parents and is highly scorned in society, and a grandfather who shows a lack of emotion towards him. He's is likely desperate for attention where he can get it, as children commonly look for

What age gap? Isn't she like 2/3 and he's like 5/6? He isn't in love romantically. She's just his favorite person right now. Everyone fawns all over her, so for a kid who lost most of his own family, for her to show him attention and he can see she's pretty cool, of course that would make him happy. Lots of kids pick a favorite person. These a kids emotions not adults.
Why does everybody hat the ml so much? He is nice, cheeky and trying his best and.. literally a child xD what's the problem?
