Weird he jumps to saying he would never be a pedo and not a parent.
It was quite a shocking moment since it felt like a crazy joke to make but...
Considering this manga it might relate to his reasons for disliking kids. Although he also says he doesn't know why he doesn't like them so idk

It's not legal for gay couples to adopt in japan so being a parent wouldn't be something he would even think of as a possibility

waow it was written so tiny i missed it the first time...
are we sure the translation is correct?

it's still a common (sad) misconception in certain mainstream narratives (and manga) to link homosexuality with pedofilia and/or abuse, so that might be the source for this phrase to somehow be produced (probably with good intentions/ignorance from the author/editor)

anyway, i personally feel this sentence is just unnecessary and hurtful... and of doubtful taste
there could be so many funny and quality light-hearted jokes to say that he's unable to imagine himself as a parent/carer/teacher/guardian/...
and i mean as an adult i would be triggered into asking some questions to a person making such a comment, so i'm surprised the main character does not react...

i already felt that the depiction of the romance lf the two male character was a bit out of touch, so i guess this kind of blunder was always possible

-1 point for the author of this manga, but i'm gonna continue reading, for now :/

but this forum thread gets a +1 :)

well, he could think about it, as freedom of thought is legal in Japan too ;)
and there are many ways to play a supportive role for a child, apart from adoption, as an adult in a given society, if that is your wish
