Yeah, I think so(⊙…⊙ )
I’m leaning more towards the no end of the spectrum? Because the “adult” in the relationship doesn’t have pedophilic feelings for the minor, and Yuu never really makes any romantic advances towards Taubaki, and we only ever see him thinking Tsubakis cute (in a brotherly sort of way)
Also, Tsubaki’s crush on Yuu could be labeled with the term “puppy love”, which isn’t typically associated with pedophilia or shotacons.
I mean it’s in the name. And the author wouldn’t write a one sided light romance :) it’s okay to like light shounen ai shota trust me I don’t judge
If he returns the feelings then yes..
I'm curious, does this really count as "shotacon/pedophilic" when in the story it's actually the kid crushing on the highschooler and not the other way around?
