That's what I'm trying to say, reread chapter 2. He had Osgood-Schlatter's, which is way more painful than normal growth pains.

I see. Yeah, it's a growth pain further induced from intense exercise. So it makes sense why he may have had to drop Baseball.

Still, it sounds like he just didn't see sense for 4 years and I doubt his growth spurt was that long. I'm guessing there were other mental/psychological barriers at play there. Sense of shame for giving up (i believe he played baseball to mold himself into sense's ideal man), Lack of self worth over his weakness.

Growth spurt clearly paid off tho lol. How he was swatting away women for years shows his true fortitude.

Oh I remember my growing pains. Some days my thighs hurt so much I didn't even want to stand because I didn't want to put pressure on them.

I mean, you don't need to guess anything. He says it, again in chapter 2: like many boys when they hit puberty, he felt a loss of confidence in himself while coming to terms with approaching manhood, and was too ashamed to show himself before her. So he settled by waiting till he was legal to her (and not a second longer, since he visited her the day he became 18).

My dumb brain: so is it okay to call this the ethical usagi drop even if they're not comparable and the dynamics are pretty different hahhahaha

Yeah true. I guess that's why I get to this point on why this chapter felt like it had less meat. Not just because it had less pages. It was more about MC telling (a piece of) his reason to Sensei that the audience knew. And the audience still knows more afterwards anyway.

lol, not physically raising the child does completely change the dynamic by a lot.

I get Sensei’s reluctance, but… Do you really want to waste another three years without enjoying that “ulterior motive”?

Not to sound like one of “those” guys, though.
