I'm going to be honest that's just an entirely ordinary parental moment.
Parents just casually needling minor insecurities is basically a fact of life as normal as gravity.
... and later it turns into questions as "why is he doesn't want to speak with us anymore, stopped calling us and doesn't want to visit home" with faces aka surprised pikachu 💁‍♂️

What an over reaction.
I lived in a dorm for all my 6 years in university and heard/witnessed enough stories of people completely cut off or significantly reduce their communication with parents and siblings due to these "overreactions" and things "that don't matter".

When you are grown up these "small" things above are what determines your desire to sustain relations and bad/unpleasant things tend to pile up over time

The parents are kinda hard to judge in the one chapter they're on, but it is true that small things add up.

Nonetheless, so far, there is no reason to believe that they do not love Youta as much as they love Rei (or vice versa). People who have siblings who are better than them resent their parents because they don't feel as loved or they feel left out (from what I understand, anyway). That doesn't seem to be the case here.

It sucks having a sibling who is better than you in almost every way. I don't envy the parents who have to care for children like that, so casting criticism on them from what little we know is kind of presumptuous.

Will the author give us the win against big bro, or is Youta gonna lose but it won't matter since he's already winning in life because of Izumi.
I'm guessing no. I bet MC kun is still gonna lose and Houjou gonna comfort him, but mc kun goes "what are you doing here? My brother is over there". Then Houjou goes "I actually dont give a damn about your brother (3), i want to cheer you up".

But that's just predictable, there's no way mangaka kun gonna do something like this right.

mixed up femc and mc's name. They both have O's in their name okay..

The twist is, the older brother is gonna lose, and Tohno is gonna cheer for him because she's attracted to losers

Let me guess, your parents are still celebrating the day you left.
Wrong, unlike this I have a good relations with them - visit and call them regularly, but that doesn't change my stand, that these small unpleasant remarks, actions and so on could ruin relations or simply make you don't want to put an effort at sustaining them.

And Rei reaction at the end is confusing : Is he upset or happy about Youta challenge ?!
He is happy about Youta challenging him again, but anxious about losing, this seems to hint at all the previous competitions actually having come down to close calls, but Youta having an inferiority complex feeling that he never stood a chance

As for why he is worried about losing? probably because his entire outer personality has centered about being perfect outside, and he is probably not ready to let the mask fall, which means that it is actually for his own good to lose, he can't keep that facade forever and it is not healthy anyways, but it is kind of too early for that amount of character development to happen just 10 chapters in, unless we are getting axed

Also since the parents know how much of a slob the older brother is at home, they probably don't think the younger one would develop an inferiority complex given the fact that well... the older brother is actually not perfect, but a slob, so in their minds they have 2 great kids that balance each other, and the younger one even landed himself a cute girlfriend, and as thus for them it would never register that there is a sibling rivalry or that one would have grown a complex against the other

Even more it would be pretty hard for them to figure out that Youta has been avoiding women, because all the girls that approach him were after his brother, which is something that only Youta and probably his closest male friends know

I expect that Youta personally is going to win by finishing his lap faster than his brother and significantly shortening the distance between the two, but his team is going to lose and thus he finishes second only half a second after his brother. The runner before him is also likely to mess up by falling or something. The most classic of the classic school sports festival tropes.

aura Izumi feel like future wife for Tohno vibe, her smile at MC is genuinely sincere :meguu: Even MC parents folks look like they’ve already given their blessing to relationship :meguu:

it's crazy to read such lovely parents and see comments throwing stones at them, lol.
guys, parents can tease their kids a little too, okay? It's not like it's a thin layer of ice that breaks easily, and it's pretty clear that they love our MC, just like his older brother loves him too. It's not like the family environment is terrible, or like he's being bullied or anything like that... It's clear that these are his own problems, and he'll have to deal with them himself.

Comments are oddly taking aim at his parents. From all of their appearances so far they've been equally supportive of BOTH of their children. His issue is self esteem due to girls using him and Youta comparing himself to his brother. Not school grades, lack of friends, or being bullied. From what we know his family love and support him. What can they really can they do about it? Tell the brother to make himself less attractive, less athletic especially when it appears he hasn't confided in his family.
At least! Someone with common sense
