Whilst normally the age gap would be okay between adults, both of them are minors. One, however, is a teenager (presumably 16 years of age) whilst the other is a toddler (presumably 7 years of age at most). It’s not just an age gap anymore, nor is it just a preference anymore. It’s a perverted, pedophilicly charged fetish. Get your head together lololol ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ

Think whatever you want, but I will not act like this manga isn’t repulsing. What does it matter if the kid acts more mature? He’s a child regardless. I will not deny the fact that he has more sense than most adults, but that doesn’t make his age a double digit.
Follow along this manga all you want, but don’t defend it. The author possesses common sense, they *know* that this is wrong, but they still went through with it. They’ve written and drawn a pedophilic manga. What’s stopping them from doing it again? What if it’s even a larger age gap next time? Or what if the kid isn’t “mature” and doesn’t understand anything yet?
Sorry for any grammar mistakes~ ╥﹏╥
(Ps: You can always imagine the kid to be older but that won’t make it any more morally right ( ̄へ ̄) )

I did not mean to defend the author or help to justify using children as love interests. So you are fully right in hating this story in that sense.
As a sidenote, other than pedophilia/grooming, this author often seems to want the uke in a situation where they get (sexually) abused or even raped to make the story more tragic, which I'm also not fan of. (It may be some way for the author to try and make us sympathize with the older guy and justify falling in love with an innocent child since adults are evil, cunning and repulsive?)
(Ps. I've read too much shitty BL that I've developed my brain to the point of willingly sidestepping actual morally bad things if I want to ((rape, sibling love, too young kids, victim blaming, abuse and the list goes on)) if the story or the characters are otherwise good and/or interesting enough. Not saying this is necessarily right way to go about it, and it does NOT apply to real life.)

Thank u~(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Sorry if I came off as harsh but I’m happy we could have this conversation!!
I fully agree with you and I’m thankful that we’re both on the same page!
(I really like how you interpret the authors choices, such as the teen falling for an innocent boy due to the cunning adults all around. Again, sorry if my comments came off as rude or not understanding, I’m not very smart so I find it harder to comprehend stuff on the more complex side. I’m grateful you could point that out for me!!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧)
That’s all I have to say so pls have a nice rest of ur day! (⌒▽⌒)

the author literally wrote that their fetish is kid semes and watching them grow up way bigger than the uke.
ngl i kinda get it, it's like "you have always protected me so now it's my turn to protect you" and it has it's own charm. doesn't mean that it doesn't feel illegal though lol i like age gaps and I wouldn't mind if they're both adults though.
but as long as they dont smooch smooch while he's still a kid i'm kinda fine with it. ofc doesn't apply to real life.
This creator has a weird obsession with childhood friends to lover in not a good way but we need shinjuu suru made matte ne translated its similar to one room Angel but darker
