    I really hate the premise. This kinda situation just DOES NOT HAPPEN irl. When an underage girl asks you to let you stay at your place, your first reaction would be to call the police. Her saying "but my parents hate me so I cant stay there!" is not a valid reason for you to do anything. If she's abused, she can tell child services.
    That unrealistic setting is just something you have to accept with these types of stories. It's a fictional setting, just like in a shounen series with monsters suddenly appearing and high school kids needing to fight them to save the town. If he took her to the police or just ignored her (before or after talking to her), like would realistically happen, there wouldn't be any story.

    The issue is: I've seen many similar anime, except the protagonist is totally oblivious of the implications of taking in a stranger young girl. This guy, Yoshida, makes it overly clear that this is wrong and could get messy ... and then does it anyway. It makes no sense this way.

    There are ways to do it even with taking reality into account. For example, she could have lied and told him she's living by herself already. Or her parents abuse her, but she cant prove it, so she needs a place to stay. Or blackmail him and say "if you wont let me stay here, ill call the police and tell them you assaulted me". So many way, both positive and negative.

    But his "oh well, ill take her in anyway" atittitude was dumb. If at least he banged her. At 16, she'd be legal in Japan, right? Anyway. I'll see how this goes.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
