i was about to talk about it, that's their culture, us outside of japan don't give a damn, use whichever you like to say
And not anywhere in the world it is like this, a lot of cultures put significance into names and what kind of a name is appropriate when. (although not a lot to such a stupid degree as asian cultures)

I will never understand this trope. A name is a name, why be so embarrassed by it?
Yeah, I can't really feel that trope either - bur apparently it's huge thing in Japan, being on first name basis that is. Depending where you live it's kinda hard to wrap your head around 😅

Think of it as "intimacy", let's suppose you just met someone at first you call them sir, after a while you just call them by their name and then by their nickname.
What makes them ashamed is the progression of intimacy.
(Of course this is exaggerated a bit because it's a manga I highly doubt people will react that way)
