twocat

yeah i was like "Oh I know you... sorry your name was...?" kinda thing for whole 2 chapters
(￣∇￣")

and i actually LIKE age gap but the older guy is just so horribly written i can’t root for him at all (+it also makes me think the author’s planning to make him a parent/brother figure for the fl than actual romantic interest)

Thing is that she doesn’t have a romantic feeling for her “childhood” friend. And yes the adult male is an ass sometimes :(
Even if he was busy with work he could have taken some time to respond to her :/

she doesn’t have romantic feelings for him yet. they can always develop over the course of the story as she gets to know him (and herself!) more.

and yeah, our supposed ml is super hot and cold towards her which i really dislike

So far the plot is pretty similar to similar to Hirunaka No Ryuusei :)

I don’t see him that hot though. But bitchy personality attract girls :)) I would have argued many times with him if I was the FL.
He’s “nice” to her only when she is showing her cute side and doesn’t do much to help her with insecurities or beeing supportive in daily problems. I like the teasing parts, but they seem too much and too often.
I see why it gives you the vibe of parental figure, but that’s definetly not the case (nor it can become in the future). If they don’t end up together they’ll be acquaintances in my opinion. He has some feelings but they aren’t strong to make him change for the best. One wrong move and he’ll dump her, he doesn’t seem the patience type.

Her classmate is still imature and shy most time, but at least he’s trying to be by her side. They can grow together. But what is most important is for her to be more sicure and know herself better as you said.
