It's time for another blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the odd ages of Nageki and Kazuaki-kun in Hatoful Boyfriend. But there will be spoilers! So proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! For those of you who somehow don't know, Nageki and Kazuaki-kun are dead in the current series. They both died a few years before the current events take place. Nageki was 15 and has been in the library for five years, which would make him about 20 years old if he was still alive. Kazuaki-kun was around 20, and he would be around 24 years old now. But this isn't the weird part. The weird part is that they don't age in the mirror timeline. Nageki is still only 15, and that's just incorrect. I understand the main character is 16, but that hasn't mattered before. In the original game, Shuu (who is 26) and Mr.Nanaki (who is 25) were both available love interests. This means there's really no reason why Nageki couldn't continue being a love interest if he was aged up to his proper age. It's difficult to tell if Kazuaki-kun was aged up properly, but I think it would be extremely strange if neither of them were. Perhaps Nageki just wasn't aged up because it would be difficult to make a new model for one shrine date, or because it wouldn't really make sense for him to be at a high school at 20 years old. There's a chance he and Kazuaki-kun will be their proper ages in Hatoful Boyfriend: Mirror, but there's no way of knowing that now. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. But as always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
