My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (TV) (both seasons).

I think you have Hachiman pegged just right but it makes me wonder what he would have done had Ebina said something like "I always dreamed you would say something like that -- let's go out!"

Sooner or later Yui is going to confess or pressure him into doing it. It's a toss-up as to which happens. I just hope they don't take the Hanagai ending.

That was a bit confusing to me, but my take, I think, was that spoiler[Yui was upset seeing him confess to someone else, even knowing he didn't mean it, and Yukino was mad that he didn't realize it would upset Yui.] Maybe. I dunno.

That's an interesting interpretation and one I find somewhat persuasive. However, I also think it is what others have said: the girls are just tired of seeing him take the pain (and I'm talking about his inner sensitivity, not the external reactions of other people) to help others.

His comments telling girls not to be so friendly to him from the fact it is very easy for him to misinterpret affection. It has caused him to take on the rough exterior that most see, and that comes down that he is actually deathly afraid of rejection.

If you are correct in your assumption that Yui felt Hachiman's confession to Ebina was sincere, then she really is more dumb than even I thought. But I don't think she's quite that dumb. Let's give her enough credit to assume she knew exactly what Hachiman was doing. However, even if she understands it wasn't a sincere confession, it would not have made her happy to see him say it to another girl.

I think I don't remember what she has on Hayama to make him come running at her beck and call.

I don't think they ever straight-up demonstrated a connection between the two, but it was implied in the summer camp arc in season 1 that Hayama and Yukino went to the same elementary school. Maybe it has something to do with that? (Perhaps their families are friends or have some connection?)
