She's pretentious and condescending because she's an author stand-in without any humanizing flaws. And every time tension from an interaction between Hina and Asahi--be it awkward tension or otherwise--she's there to be Hina's crutch and the cycle resets.
Asahi's burner accountbecause all of you here totally would do better
These types of comments are always hilarious, nice joke
In other stories I get it because the MC is legitimately pathetic and it gets grating, like imo the ML in I Want To End This Love Game, but in this story the MC just feels like a normal guy who is a little shy sometimes and is too scared to ruin his relationship with someone he's known for years and years by making a move. Its like if you don't wanna read a slow burn romance why are you reading Japanese stories?because all of you here totally would do better

I believe Asahi himself, just like Tsukko, is supposed to be in-universe really good looking. Tsukko has been depicted as having a beauty hobby, if not a way of life. Hina is, then, her "creation". Hina's basic personality is a lot more lax and friendly than Tsukko's. I reckon it was Tsukko who coached Hina to always look so fabulous. Asahi has always been in these two's company, plus he's natural among the girls of his own class. I feel like the hard to confess part plays a stronger role than out of his league part. Unless I remember utterly wrong the early chapters, one big problem is that he has sort of fallen into a little brother zone in his own opinion, what comes to Hina. She's very comfortable in his presence, which makes Asahi believe she's not really aware of him at all, as if he was just a member of her own family. So, he might as well be her little brother. This makes him afraid that if he suddenly approached her romantically, it would create an exceedingly weird atmosphere.Also it's his big sister's friend. Definitely hard to confess to an older person, especially if he's a secondary student and she's a university student (huge gap in maturity!). Doubly so since he's known her for a while and it seems in-universe she's clearly extremely attractive and "out of his league".
Your pfp gives me all the info I need.I prefer the other girl with MC more. Please make it a harem or love triangle. Need some more drama/tension.
