Koguma has shown several times that she is quite capable of it. And I already shot a hole into the coercion thing.
A tiny meaningless hole but sure. If you power on over someone's hesitance because "They didn't say no" especially if part of why they didn't say no is because you've given them an ultimatum then there's no consent. Period. It's not a shades of grey issue. Consent isn't "Not no" it's "Yes."
But yeah I'm dropping this, Hino is officially just kind of repulsive to me at this point.
Hino hasn't done anything aside from saying they should hold hands together. She let go of Koguma's hand when she saw that it was too much for her. Koguma could have told her to leave, without repercussions at that point as she already let go of her hand, yet didn't. When Koguma told her to cover her ears she did.
Literally all the power is on Koguma's side, with Hino only having the "I won't go to class" card as a starter.
If there are no consequences, not saying she should leave is just her own fault at that point. Read the chapters again carefully and this becomes blatantly obvious.

In this scene Hino quite blatantly tells her to just let go and do it on her own. She is giving her every out. In the first place the whole bathroom thing was more of a joke suggestion, but Koguma doesn't refuse. As I mentioned before, she seems to be pushing as far as she can to find out when Kgouma will finally push her away, even though she is afraid of that too.
The only thing you can blame Hino for is being opportunistic.
