Won't even go into the cell phone bit of the conversation. It's the little things that add together. What she did was subtle but it was still done. Unless you're a brocon, pressing your breast against your brother's arm is just not proper. That's a bf thing.

I see where DragoZERO is coming from.
The anime gives all these familiar hints that she's romantically interested in the guy, and then when he finally starts to show some degree of reciprocity, she heads off with her actual boyfriend. RedWing is right that in the real world, this sort of thing isn't usually a big deal, but many of us are so used to not seeing this sort of thing in anime that it can come off a bit badly. At the very least, it did startle me a bit when she mentioned her boyfriend.

I really don't understand all the hate being directed at Hanabi. She was friendly and made no indication she thought of him as anything more than a friend. Yes Kimimaro is interested in her, but it's not like he made it known. You can't blame her for not reacting to something he never bothered to let her in on.
I eat lunch and study with my female friends, they don't forget about me the minute they get a boyfriend. There's a reason for that; we're friends. |

As far as what was shown, Hanabi just treats the protagonist as just another one of her guy friends. Or at least, it wasn't shown whether she is closer to the Kimimaro anymore than any of the other guy friends (ex. everyone else calls her Hanabi as well).
That's why I don't see how Hanabi getting a boyfriend is NTR in the slightest. NTR is suppose to rouse jealousy (or as I like to more specifically put it, "I want to punch someone in the face" feelings ) because the protagonist had someone precious 'stolen' from him. And for someone to be 'stolen' from the protagonist, the story must have established early on that the two were close and the girl must have slowly drifted apart. This show on the otherhand pretty much establishes from the get go that the two aren't any more than friends, and yet the two haven't drifted apart as friends either. If anything, the protagonists feelings seems more like its been unrequited for quite some time, and that is the farthest thing from being NTR from what I understand of the term.

Anyway, the claim up there that a girl shouldn't help out a classmate if she already has a boyfriend is disgusting. Hanabi didn't do anything bad whatsoever. If she was indeed the type that played with people then left them, then her refusal of the invitation to dine together would have come with at least some shade of malice. As for how the show suggests she has a romantic interest in the guy, for the most part, there was no such suggestion. But even if there was, it's fine for a girl to have some feelings for a guy while going out with another as long as she doesn't two-time. It's fine for everyone, not just a girl, and I know more than enough people who have some feelings for someone other than the people they are in a relationship with. You can't help but feel for someone. The only thing that matters is that you don't abuse them which Hanabi didn't, not even close. |

In this scenario, MC didn't have a clue and she doesn't act like a girl with a bf. Quote:
People don't use malice nowadays as you can't predict how the other person will react.

Yes, it is odd that he didn't know she had a boyfriend, but I'm sure she would have told him had he "made a move." That's just it though; he didn't. He's our main character, but he's probably not a huge part of her life. He is, in all likeliness, a casual friend. He probably doesn't hear about stuff as soon as it happens, especially since he doesn't have a cellphone. Hanabi was just living her life, she may have no idea Kimimaro is taking her kindness as an "advance" of sorts. |
