Houkago no Idol ni wa Himitsu ga Aru - Ch. 80 - Kuromiya-san and the third language

[MiguelH224]

This chapter made way more clear how smart Hiruno is

Only book smart, he's still the human equivalent of osmium

I saw your comment and as it was the last one I immediately closed the page, but 1 second later I understood the joke, laughed and came back to type this

Well... I can't blame him for that.
Kuromiya clearly said (even if he doesn't know) that her only intention is that he fall in love with her (which he is already has, thus she is also dense), but that she doesn't want to go beyond that. We all know this is BS and that she will not be able to keep things platonic.
In other hand, he knows she is an idol and that if he made a move, there would be two outcomes:
1) He is rejected
2) He is not rejected, but now her career would be at risk (godhowIhateidolcultureandthatpartwhereidolsaretreatlikeaproductmadetocreepparasocialdudessomeofthenbeingmiddleagedman why god? Why does this need to exist?)
Thus, he knows he can't focus on romance, not with her. Part of him may be denying any possibility of Kuromya liking him because of the closed path in their futures (and also, he has low self-esteem)

I never get idol culture BUT
Imagine giving people who have power over you even more freedom and power.
Why are we human like this?

The thing is, idol industry get money from people that probably have serious issues (all that parasocial stuff), I really don't believe that the majority of the fans would care if an idol had an actual life, but the obsessed ones are the ones that expends (literally) all their money with the idol and thus, it "worth' to do what they want.
It's like the gacha logic, most players are free to play players, and just a few players are addicts who will expend all their money in the game. The game is mad to those addicts.
It's sick, but that's how the industry works
