I hate that Natsumi forced Yuuto to be in the same situation that she was in.

Watching your love interest reject your feelings, hoping to get someone else's attention is totally painful, and although Yuuto is handling the situation very well, all of this could have been avoided if Natsumi properly rejected his feelings like she rejected her classmate back when she was a student.

The author has a ton of loli H art over the years that he's drawn and notably a few of the splatoon inklings, it's not that deep he just wanted to draw loli x bear.
What I conjectured (about the aim of the character designs being more concerned with size contrast) isn't that deep, either, but noted.

Also, maybe that Splatoon art was what was being talked about here:

It's not really the same situation-- the classmate was rejected because he confessed in the first place. Yuuto has yet to do anything of the sort.

Yuuto's declaration of duty to cheer up the person you like if you really want them is admirable. The ball is still in Natsumi's court though and I'd feel bad if he is just Futaba's replacement goldfish for her. On the plus side, beach chapter soon woo-hoo!
I wonder if Natsumi wears a bikini she isn't guaranteed to be hit upon and Yuuto has to assert himself in front of her (or at least try to).

There's a chapter where Yuuto and Natsumi talk about the type of person that Natsumi would want to have as a romantic partner.

In the chapter, Yuuto says that Natsumi would like a guy who is tall. Natsumi responds that her type is someone who is short who gives it their all. Natsumi asks if there's someone that Yuuto has a crush on and Yuuto (being someone short) responds that he would definitely give it his all. What Yuuto is trying to do is portray himself as someone who is her type and while doing that show that he has interest in her.

There's also the chapter where Yuuto asks Natsumi to go on a date and see the fireworks with him and after he convinces her to go see it with him, she says, "I don't know what he sees in me", signifying she knows about his romantic feelings for her but she agreed to go anyway.

The classmate was rejected and she wouldn't go on a date with him because she had feelings for Futaba, but Natsumi didn't refuse to go on a date with Yuuto even though she still had feelings for Futaba, and by doing that Natsumi created the situation that I had initially described.

Hope that clears things up for you ~

16? you got to be joking, right?
No he's not, he's just an attentive reader. Yuuto was in middle school at the beggining of the manga, and many chapters ago he was just entering highschool. First year highschool students are 15 to 16 years old, and quite some time passed since that chapter, so 16 is pretty accurate.
Time passes quite fast in this manga, we already had like 2 or 3 Christmas during its span.

Lemme try to tl;dr this:
  • Futaba's a working adult with working adult responsibilities, and is treated as an adult in a setting with a society much like our own.
  • This is not at all like thousand year old lolis, whose social standards are so alien to us they may as well not exist, because there's no such thing as thousand year old lolis in real life.

Frankly, I think she was designed with size contrast (vis-à-vis Takeda) in mind.

As in, it's just funny to think about how Takeda would split her in half with his gorilla cock if they tried anything.

(Or maybe there'll be some Kirikou-type shit and she'll grow two feet once they finally kiss)
Ironically gorillas have smaller dicks than humans

The things is that, differently from Igarashi, who never saw Natsumi as anything other than a friend, she sees Yuto as someone special. She fells at ease with him, she likes to watch them from a distance, she lets him go into her home(her special place), and much more. Natsumi drama is about the fact that she went from merely finding his tries amusing, to actually developing a emotional bond with him. She may not want or have what it takes to answer his feelings, but she doesn't want him to go away

Putting aside that he's apparently 16-17, if you actually get the sense there's no romance between the two, then there's literally no problem.

The actual weird thing is thinking that a minor can't be casual with an adult (or vice versa), even when it's a given that the adult isn't predatory.
Wow, now I have to re-read this manga from the beginning with this information in my mind.

I used to think we are witnessing an innocent boy interested in an adult woman, because she is frendly towards him. Relationship that cannot end in anything but condencending friendship, but now...

If he is almost 18 years old, this put the things in a different perspective completely. Good luck to our boy. By the time Natsumi-san develops any feelings towards him, he will be 18, and she will pop his cherry. Many times, just to be sure. What a lucky bastard. I envy him already.
