I agree, maya admitted that he intentionally give a hint to cheat on a test.
No, he wasn't in love with him at the beginning, but he was in INTERESTED. Maya starts to realize his feelings a little bit later. We see this when he says things like, "you just don't get it" as well as when saves Nemu from being "taken" by Tae at the bar.
well all you said proves that he was in love with him since the beginning..
Slightly off-topic, but perhaps something that can tell us about Maya's first interest in our beloved Nemu-nemu.
This short extra seems to imply a dejavu situation of when Maya first took interest in Nemu (Maya was taken by Nemu's innocent earnestness, like he's not aware he's in the lion's den):

Pages 8-10 of Imasara Briefs...is what made me think that Maya had a former interest in Nemu, though not necessarily developed into "love" just yet. Know what I mean?

wooow never saw that extra, thx so much for sharing
yep I remember that scene though, but for me, again, it was love since a long time ago... thats my point of view ^^
So guys, MAya was in love since the beginning with Nemu right? He created the opportunity to blackmail him to have him? if thats the case... damn thats so mischievious lol
