A good man, single-minded and single-minded
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
If the game created half of Haruo’s personality, the other half was created by his mother, Namié Yaguchi (Namié Yaguchi).
His father has always been working alone and never appears in the game, and Haruo has always been raised by his mother.
Haruo’s mother never forced him to study, never told him to stop playing games, and raised him in a carefree manner.
However, she didn’t just coddle him; she punished him accordingly if his grades were poor.
While treating him like a friend, I continued to watch his growth as a guardian.
As a result, Haruo has become a single-minded and single-minded person who always does what he wants to do.
She works hard at her studies, even shutting down her video games in order to attend the same school as Akira, and she doesn’t mind working early morning jobs to buy games.
This single-mindedness is probably the best part of Haruo’s human appeal.
And the same goes for her love life.
Even though he wasn’t aware of his own love interest, Haruo had always wanted to hang out with Akira ever since he was in elementary school.
This has never wavered even after Koharu’s appearance.
Even after Koharu confessed her feelings to him and when she asked him to go to a love hotel, Akira was the only love interest for Haruo.
Koharu says in her heart that she was attracted to Haruo, who is straightforward in his own world, which means she fell in love with him because of his single-mindedness.
Probably, if Haruo had been swayed by Koharu, Koharu wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.
That’s why Koharu realized in the beginning that she didn’t stand a chance.
When love stories have a love triangle, it tends to be a slippery slope that shows the bad parts of each character and makes it easy for readers and viewers to dislike them.
However, this is not the case at all in this work and Haruo remains the main character that is supported by the fans until the end.
That’s probably because he was always single-minded.
Are you actually a natural womanizer?

Haruo’s roots are honest and pure, but he is not a naive character.
Because of her purity, she often gets swept away by the atmosphere of the place.
For example, when he was in elementary school, he got caught up in the rough and tumble atmosphere that was typical of the arcade games back then, and Haruo himself became a very mean-spirited gamer.
When I was a high school student, I started hanging out at the arcade in Shibuya, and I was completely steeped in the colors of the city, dressing a bit like a badass.
To tell the truth, I’ve become a bit of a bad boy.
This bad boy is one of the elements of being a popular guy.
I’m sure many men know that just being a “nice guy” is not enough to be popular.
Also, he can act casually to show consideration for others.
The reason why he spent a huge amount of time creating the “Oonoke Quest” for Akira, who couldn’t leave his house, was because he simply wanted to make Akira happy, without any ulterior motive.
Perhaps the anime emphasizes this point, but in the episode where he was taken to Akira’s mansion and spent the night with her, a scene was casually added in anioli to make it easier for Akira to take the candy.
All of these aspects of Haruo’s life are not done with the intention of being popular, but it’s one of the reasons why he’s popular as a result.
In that sense, Haruo might be a natural womanizer.
Summary
There are many reasons why Haruo is so popular, but I think the number one reason is that he was raised by that mother!
In that sense, the true MVP of High Score Girl may be Mother Haruo.
