it's a thing but it really gets to a point..? he does not look like a short adult, he looks like a child. it is not that hard to make include a size kink AND have both characters look like adults.
It’s the authors kink so if u don’t like it then don’t read ?? It’s pure fiction that doesn’t harm anyone else IRL. Just drop the manga and leave it be if you or others find it uncomfortable (which is fine) but insulting the work when you’re able to access it illegally is insane in my opinion.
Right cuz no matter how malnourished you are that doesn't make you loon 7-9 ( I remember reading this back in 2021 something I don't know why I didn't think that was weird may because I was young but now that I am rereading this all I have to say is what an actual fuck ) also I believe this type of thing help people normalize pedophila, I remember defending this type of plots when I was young. But the thing is I was young, was young a child but people who write this type sh*t are adults so it's disgusting
Size difference kink is a thing… rei is not a child he’s malnourished so obviously he doesn’t grow. If u don’t like size difference then don’t read no one is forcing you log off and go back to heartstopper
