The decision to lean in to her being a gross pedophile
I always had trouble with the pedophile term here. Pedophile will imply had Miyako had sexual desire toward Hana, which is clearly not the right way to see the whole picture. The overall gross attitude come from the extreme passion of Miyako for cosplay combined to her fondness for Hana and her social akwkardness.
Nah. She's straight attracted to her.

I kinda agree, I absolutely don't ship Hana & Miyako, I usually don't have any issues with onee-loli, but this pair just don't click
My issue is how much of a creep Miyako is about it. The decision to lean in to her being a gross pedophile leering at a child who is blatantly uncomfortable strips away the suspension of disbelief I usually can maintain with this kind of age gap.
Suspensions of disbelief for what?
For a preteen being romantically involved with someone 5+ years older than them not being wildly inappropriate and predatory.
You expect a serious and responsible romance in comedy manga about collage student lusting over preteen, where entire premise is based on the fact she's creepy af and preteen is grossed out by her behavior? I mean, in the very first few chapters Miyako buys Hana by offering her sweets, while manga acknowledges that's exactly the thing kids are supposed to avoid. If you still reading it after it with hopes for something wholesome, then I'd reconsider your approach to consuming media and what kind of expectations you have from it.
