Asian fans don't hate Mannie (maybe some of them can't get over the fact that ayu didn't choose a Japanese but that's not hate) but they hate Maro because he is a) divorced and probably had a child and b) he is six years younger than ayu. Many fans automatically turned to "Maro must've been taking advantage of ayu"

Funny you should say that... But didn't the overseas fan say the same thing about Mannie taking advantage of ayu? I mean, I understand why ayu dating Maro isn't acceptable in Asian culture. But with ayu and Mannie, she was
also the older one in the relationship. To be honest, it's also ironic, given the circumstances.
