Misleading labels

Japan is disgusting

Racism?

Think whatever you want, pedo, they actually give liability to you pedos through fiction.

I won't "think" I know you're being racist lol

I won’t “think” I know you’re a pedophile lol

Lmao clocked them!!

Well, that's what ppl have been telling here also there are no misleading labels, honestly not just in japan it sells well in other countries too because you know ppl are not idiots unlike here in this thread and everyone just started harrassing before understanding anything, well accusing others you know some dimwits really weaponize vilest accusations to sound clever.

It’s best if both sides (but only non pedophiles) give proper direct explanations without bashing each other but also, I think a romance label is misleading because one would assume that its a mutual romance. Which is pedophilic in this case. This manga has too much controversy, and there are actual pedophiles reading this. The author is suspicious as well, their other works seem to just be shota too.

Understandable! But one cannot categorize someone as pedophile without proof n reason it's not same as calling someone an idiot. This story doesn't have a romance tag, there is no mutual romance in this. I would suggest you reading the authors interview if you wanna know about it, she was directly asked by the interviewer on this subject and her works. Earlier when this story was new ppl who supported reading this manga and those who don't used to gives proofs and explanation for their opinions but now everyone just became too tired of explaining it again n again, what you'll see now is a battlefield where slurs are weapon.

This manga's gallery has images with cp undertones like the kid kissing the guy and the guy blushing and rubbing their dicks together. This is shotacon, and shotacon means where little kids get sexualized, and there are literally creeps in the comments who want to rape the kid. And you're saying that we can't categorize them as pedophiles? What other proof do we need to call one a pedophile then? Shotacon is made for pedos, or else why would you want to see a weird relationship between a kid and an adult with cp undertones? Everyone who reads and defends this is clearly a pedophile!

Have you even read this story? Yuu face turns that way in all kinds be it being shy, embarrassed, angry, sad, blush. They weren't rubbing dicks!! Shotacon in no way means sexualization of kids. Give me proof where one said wanting to rape the kid, I've been active here n never seen any comments like that. If they did, that's really disgusting but where?

Some questionable images from the gallery of this manga, how is this not pedophilic?

Whether shotacon is made for pedos or not that's for you to research, don't say it based on your feelings. You saw word shota and came with the conclusion of everyone being pedophile. If you take this statement in a court theres no way you will be taken seriously. What you're saying is reading this equals real life behaviour which so flawed, for context you can check "real life laws" about this too. There's a difference between saying this content makes me uncomfortable and labelling everyone who reads it as a criminal. If we go by your logic everyone is a criminal no matter what the genre is. Don't confuse fiction with confession. This story is about kiddo's crush on his neighbour who is also a kid by the way, it's to see how it unfolds. You need more than this to categorize someone as a criminal. By no mean who reads and defends this a pedophile but I wonder, someone who so easily throw strong accusations around on random stranger over a fiction without sound proof be called as.

Girl, what real life laws are you even talking about? Lmao. I don’t know where you live, but in my country, any material depicting sexual content with a child,fictional or real,is prosecutable. It’s both socially unacceptable and illegal. You can get locked up just for possessing it, and that’s the law here. And guess what? We have one of the lowest crime rates.Real or fictional, it doesn’t matter,it’s still a criminal offense. No law will protect you for having CP. I’ll say it again: none. Are you seriously saying those weirdos in the comments who want to rape the kid aren’t pedophiles just because we don’t know if they’re acting on it in real life? Shotacon is literally material pedophiles use to get off because they know they can’t do it with a real kid without going to jail, so they hide behind this fictional garbage.I don’t know why you’re defending this or what laws you’re even talking about, but in many European and Asian countries, it’s prosecutable, and people can literally get beaten up for possessing or enjoying it. No one in society is going to treat you normally if you admit to enjoying something that sexualizes little kids. The only place where this is considered remotely “normal” is Japan.no wonder it's full of pedophiles.

He's being awkward because of how forcefully tsubaki is coming onto him, his balls getting crushed,the pain!. Kiddo is just being playful, I remember this ch Yu was stoned, you need to see before and after of this panel. Yuu set clear boundaries, made him understand later, you can't be picking one panel and leaving out whole ch.

Your concern is understandable but it’s important to see this is a fictional manga, with drawn characters, not real children.The story operates within a fantasy genre, exploring different topics but that doesn’t mean it’s endorsing anything. There’s a big difference between fictional narratives and real-world harm.

Calling it as cp oversimplifies a complicated issue same as calling others pedo based on it, trickle down its meaning, understanding the difference between fantasy art and criminal activity is what's important.

Most importantly it depends on perspective of individual on how you see it, just like how you're dissecting it, some just read it without a thought, some simply don't care, some find it cute, some read n forget, some are just too hung up on each n every thing in this story. I like this story! I want to see it to the end and I'm enjoying their journey, I want to see what happens to them, I find their interactions cute especially tsubaki's friend, I find them sweet. I don't know how dumb you take readers to be thinking ppl don't understand right from wrong. You are not the only sane person just because you strongly disagree on something.

Yeah, I get why some panels look sketchy especially when you're just picking only some panels but not reading ch. in continuity, this stuff isn’t for everyone. But it’s important to remember that Shota Oni is just fiction, with drawn characters, not real kids. I’m not saying everyone has to like it, but why stop others from reading it and shaming for no reason??? it’s better to talk about these things with some nuance instead of jumping straight to harsh labels.

In my country it's banned too but it depends on exact nature of the content. This story isn't what you're making it to be, you have a huge misunderstanding about it also I didn't defend anyone saying about raping kid.

All the countries where copies of this story is being sold consider it very much normal. A pedophile won't be sitting here reading manga using it as a fapping material and they don't care about jail from all news that I've seen so far, if they really did the world would've been a better place with these pest stuck inside their room and children happy.

Again for the last time those who read it don't enjoy sexualizing lil kids you are assuming because you have a perception that those who read this story are wrong. "Fictional depictions, like shotacon or lolicon, occupy a legal and ethical gray area, but they don’t define someone as a pedophile." (Not my words, copy/pasted)
Japan is really unique in it's own way that it surprises me too so won't comment on that.
Peace out!

Omg, do you even read this? I honestly thought you were one of us just casually commenting here, but wow… should’ve known from the way you’re trying so hard to defend this . Anyway, no amount of context will ever justify a grown man blushing over a kid kissing and after rubbing dicks together like that. And the fact that you’re denying it’s pedophilic when it’s as clear as day? Unbelievable and if someone gonna say something like wanting to rape a kid then ofc I'll call them what they're "pedophile" it's not harsh labels, it's the truth.

Okay!(￣∇￣"), my bad! I guess.

So you guys ignore racism too huh? Just as expected.
