**** 1. Why does it always have to be about sex? Isn't it possible to fall in love without even thinking about sex now a days? From what I see, neither Yuta or Shinobu are scumbags, or perverts, or anything. There is a difference between love and lust. When they look at Hagu and admire her, they are wowed by her personality and skills, and their love for her is in wanting her to be happy. Maybe you think they look at her and think "I wanna get with that" but that's not what the author was trying to portray. 2. She really didn't act that childish. Actually, she acted just as mature (or not so mature) as some of her class mates. Take Shinobu for instance. Definite man child. Many of the characters are acknowledged to still be kids. Even the professor acts childish sometimes. And you know, that's common for anime. Take just about any comedy anime and there will be at least one childish character, and yet it isn't thought of as wrong or squick for them to engage in a relationship. And it is somewhat truth in television. It isn't as extreme in real life, but there are plenty of people that still have the heart of a child and are still mature. There is a difference between having the heart of a child, and having the mind of a child. Maturity isn't always about being serious all of the time, sometimes it isn't about where you're at, but where you're going. People never really stop growing up. Out of all the characters, Hagu seems to be the one to understand that the most.

*** Ooh, a twenty-years old that looks like a SEVEN-years old (Ayu and Takemoto thought her recent picture was from a Shichi-go-san). HOT. Actually, if they never acknowledge that she looks like a seven-years old in-universe then I'm fine with "Hagu as a symbol of pure innocence". As it were it's still disturbing, when you add the fact that she ACTS like a child too. But hey, if people still wanna tap that then YMMV.

** But there are remarks in-universe how she looks physically like a child (Ayu and Takemoto's surprise when they saw her coming of age portrait, they thought it was from when she was 12 or something). So the fact that she actually looks like a child, and have guys falling for her, and a very much older relative in love with her is very much squicky.
