In love with Saotome, eh. No. These things throw that around a lot but come now.
The first time this guy talks to someone else other than Moteshiro girls and they happen to be asshats. I could tell how this scene would go from the outset. Ffs. Did Saotome not have one good guy friend at his previous school? I was not one of the cool kids in my day but I had homies(and a number of female friends all the same). He's fairly normal so it would not have been impossible.
Ah don't worry, one guy, he is not dating all those girls. He has not the nuts for that level of debauchery.
