Anyway I don't see why some people need to quickly jump on this anti-otaku wagon thing whenever netorare is mentioned, does that make them feel superior? Who knows. But I think it's appreciated if people can discuss something without using ridicule. This forum is also full of "otaku", so I can't say how many people were disappointed in what they just had to read through. I don't think any of us are qualified to judge people anyway, these "loser otaku" you are labeling.

Jealousy of what? They weren't dating. If anything, she was prob trying to scope him out financially and then decided to stick with the rich one she had. (She was complaining about lack of cellphone for contact, etc.) The girl is playing the field, prob looking for sugar daddies. (She's not dressed particularly wealthy so "daddy's money" isn't prob going to hold up for long. I'm betting on subsistence dating for her current situation.) Wouldn't surprise me if she also had or eventually gets a card.
Masakaki is probably this title's version of Kyubey so I think he's telling the truth about Hanabi.
