Is Kana justified to get angry at Aqua? She did say "You started it" when Aqua said "I'll get hurt too". So did he unintentionally hurt Kana? When they were playing catch, he did say he sees girls above his age as potential love interests, but before that dialogue he said Love now cast aren't that close with him, he invited particularly Kana, made her feel special(unintentionally) and made her think she has the most high chance make him fall for her.

Is she in the right?

Maybe, No.
Most friends (best?) do the same things, like playing or inviting them over. So, does that make everyone a love interest? Can no one have "a (good/best) friend as a friend", or does everyone have to be in a relationship because they like/enjoy being together?

If Aqua cant get that he was unintentionally leading her and that his relationship with Akane hurts her then he is a dumbass. Kana literally sparkled when she met him again in ep2, even if she truly fell for him at the end of Sweet Today. She even spells it out "go get cozy with Akane you womanizer".

On the other hand she cant be that mad at him for this as if her intentions were 100% clear.

In short, both are dumb teenagers.

She's not justified at all its a girl jealous over a boy who she isn't romantically involved with and Aqua isn't leading her on or anything as of yet so there's no way possible to say he's wrong.

it's natural for her to be angry with him but she has no idea about the reasoning behind that decision to kiss akane. so in reality aqua did not realize he was hurting her because 1 he doesn't know kana has feelings for him even though it's blatantly obvious and 2 because his intentions were not that of a romantic interest

Both Kana and Aqua are in the wrong. Kana was told by both Miyako and Aqua that whatever happened in the reality show was just a job yet Kana still choose to be jealous.
On the other hand Aqua did say that he had no interest in choosing someone yet he still went with Akane (but for revenge reasons) so he did end betraying Kana's trust.

At the end of the day it's just dumb teenager drama that will be solved soon but believe me, there will be more drama between the two in the future

You're right from our(viewers) POV, we know that Aqua ain't meaning to hurt her(even unintentionally) but from Kana's POV she might believe he's a womanizer and trying to hit her(Kana) after hitting with Akane(even though he said he wouldn't from Love now cast)

Actuality from any pov she's wrong her perceived conception about him based on nothing but her feelings causing irrational assumptions is 100% wrong. The most he did is call her cute plus aqua was on a game show where he was acting not real relationship.

Yeah but when he said he likes older women of course he was talking about Ai. But she has no idea about this so of course she is hoping that he will return her feelings. And even though he is just acting in the reality show he should have noticed her crush on him by now. Idk if either is right or wrong, just not communicating with each other and hurting each other because of it.

Not that passing the criteria makes you that particular one or special, but just close to it. However, I would say keep watching. It's just that compared to Kana, Aqua isn't paying much attention to it right now because of his intentions.

There a few nuances with the situation in the anime. The biggest one is the fact that Kana doesn't show any signs (at least Aqua didn't notice them) that she has feelings. Also, like irl she isn't taking any action and then got jealous because someone got Aqua before her. Aqua doesn't even have feeling for Akane, at least yet.

There is no right or wrong here bub. Its emotionally charged responses. Its natural as Kana's going through self-doubt and low self esteem even before falling in love, while Aqua's focus is on something else. Not to mention Kana is an idol now. There is no big driving force for them to talk about their feelings atm.

No she's in the wrong. Aqua did nothing wrong. First of all he doesn't even know Kana likes him. Second he's only doing it for the show. Her getting mad is just her being immature and not putting herself in Aqua's shoes.

How can she put herself in Aqua's shoes when she doesn't even know what he has been through as a child? She doesn't know his trauma, intentions, ulterior motives, etc.

Kana's monologue on "You started it." honestly made me laughed out loud 🤣. That phrase alone says to me that Kana is head over heels crushing on Aqua. She likes him even more now than they're good friends (thanks to that baseball catch scene when he invited her to skip school).

If I can tell Kana off, I'd tell her, "No, Kana. Aqua didn't started it. You fell hard for him when Sweet Today finished shooting."

Aqua performed her a favor: he joined the Sweet Today drama as a minor character, albeit a villain. She fell for him when he staged Sweet Today to make the final episode a success.

Because Kana is so into him, she just can't help but perceive the kiss from the Love Now finale as the real thing. Who wouldn't? Akane confronted Aqua at the bar and asked him directly, "You like the character I was imitating, right?"

It's a reality dating show after all. There are some realistic aspects to the show despite the suggestions of the directors, producers, and others.

As for Aqua, I am impressed by his patience. He didn't show his annoyance at Kana when she made those mean faces at him. Any other male teenaged anime character would. And remember: Aqua still has the mind of a 40-year old doctor to some degree (even though the boundary between Gorō Amamiya and Aqua Hoshino are disappearing); so, I am impressed how Aqua was still able to hold it in.

The next time he attempted speaking to Kana was simply to give her a bottled water. He wants to have a proper conversation with her, "Kana, what's going on? Did I do something wrong? Why are you mad at me?" Those are the words that he simply could have asked.

But Kana's rejection of the bottled water says enough: she doesn't wanna speak to him, and is still irritated at him.

Of course, Aqua didn't forced the conversation on her and just cooly expressed his disappointment, "If your bad/foul mouth keeps this up, I would be hurt too." which is the most realistic response a composed and understanding male teenager would give to a jealous female friend.

Anyway, Kana's not justified. She's not in the right here nor is Aqua as he could have done better. He could have said, "If this was about me kissing Akane at Love Now...well...it's just for show, alright? Nothing to be mad about." But of course, Kana didn't hear any of that cause she removed Aqua's opportunity to even have a proper conversation with her.

That's...what? It's not hard to put yourself in others shoes. Think to yourself, if I were in Aqua's shoes, how would I feel right now. his past has nothing to do with this. If she did that, she'd realize Aqua is feeling down and that he did nothing wrong. She'd realize that maybe I was too hard on him

You are looking at a teenage girl whos not only emotional but also in love so yea its natural any normal girl at her age will behave like that. Was she in the wrong? yes partly but shes not the only one, aqua also was no less. You compliment a girl on her beauty, ask her to take care of your sister, approach her out of the blue and have real personal talk with her, also on the topic of  the kind of girl you prefer/like, supports her out of his way and tries to comfort her too. also idk if you notice he's normal and himself around kana & his behaviour towards her is also different, so in a way he does send out some signals which can be interpreted in a certain way especially by someone whos crushing on you hard. 

Its common teenage drama, nothing to get worked about and hate for. cant people actually getting on kanas case for this. Also aqua should know better he's the most matured out of both of them, he's no saint either.
