All breakups are messy and it's not easy to do it right. But here are some things he could've done:
(1) Break up with Asuka immediately. (2) Refrain from dating Eba for the time being. (3) Graduate from college. (4) Get a job. (5) Court Eba when he's mature enough to think in terms of marriage and family, as opposed to an ongoing soap opera. This may not be as entertaining a read, but that's how you're supposed to do things. |

Spoiler for :
The whole situation was messed up from the start, Haruto genuinely believed he'd reciprocate Asuka's feelings only to find out that his feelings for Eba were still much stronger, that's bad luck for all parties but that's also how love works, it's not fair, not rational, just completely arbitrary. So despite all his failings in mitigation this could've never been solved smoothly anyway. This may sound cheesy but at this point you could even say KNIM is posing the question about how far one would go for what he/she thinks is their true love. Is it worth hurting someone? Is it worth losing most of your close friends? Ofc there's no correct answer, such decisions are a two-pathed gamble. ... Oh wow, you have to explain to me in detail how you compose this. |

probably because of how 'stable' they think the relationship was for 2 years and then it just suddenly ended without knowing that
even thou haruto said he doesn't love eba as much anymore a few chapters back. but i guess at 50% less is still still more then he ever loved asuaka.... |

Haruto wanted to get back together with Eba, but he wasn't sure whether she would accept him as a boyfriend. So he wanted to keep Asuka around as a backup plan just in case. I can see his thought process: (1) If Eba accepts me, I break up with Asuka and date Eba. (2) If Eba rejects me, I stay with Asuka. Yeah, she's not as good as Eba but she's OK and it's better than being alone. (3) If Eba keeps me in limbo, I keep Asuka in limbo until something happens. I can half-date both girls until Eba makes up her mind or Asuka dumps me. This is very consistent with his thoughts and what actually happened. That's why people think Haruto is wishy-washy, despicable, and totally mishandled the break-up. He was playing games with two girls' hearts and was only thinking of himself. Compare that with the resolution of the love triangle(s) in Good Ending, and you should be able to see why people are getting the pitchforks out for Haruto while they have much more sympathy for Seiji. Personally I think dealing with relationships before you're ready for marriage and family is like playing with fire. You might get away with it sometimes, but at some point you're going to get burned. |

also, something to consider, it seems like maybe Auska was keeping a distance from haruto and tried not have any progress in their relationship since she knows him well and ... well... going into it too far would turn this into an obligation for haruto.

Meeting up with her pre-skip resurfaced those feelings a little and seeing her recently did it even more. I know first hand how feelings can resurface after quite some time, although they aren't as strong as love, but for story's sake, I'll accept the love. Plus Yuzuki was herself around Haruto this time around, so that reminded him of when she first moved in and everything.

Agree that Asuka would suffer more if they manage to stay together...Asuka knows that he doesn't love her so that's no point to stay anyway
And since the whole thing has become a mess, any decision Haruto is going to make should at least be loyal to his real intention...another lie would hurt everyone much much more... it's just that I don't like the part where he changes his heart too fast (within two days)...or maybe he hasn't changed his feeling at all since the Tokyo arc (which should be obvious by now )...don't understand why he is so obsessed with Eba...maybe it's because they never really start a real relationship (he couldn't really feel that he had a gf in that long-distance relationship) and the fact that it was Eba who dumped him
