Right, but there are definitely commenters that show proof of having pedophilic traits (ie outright sexualizing a child).
No romance tag? “Shounen ai” means boys love, essentially LGBTQ romance. This would count as a romance label.
Yeah, the comments are a mess
The term Shota refers to young boys. The con stems from the word complex (pronounced as konpurekkusu in japanese), it has the same meaning as English: being preoccupied with smtn/ obsessed/ exaggerated belief. Example: “She has a superiority complex”
In japanese its known for sexual attraction to the subject that comes before the suffix con, like lolicon shotacon etc.
In this case= A complex about young boys.
Big yikes!
Also, the rape comment is on the other pages under the name iloveshota, saying they wish there was smut and that they wanna rape the kid and all of us too
Apparently this is selling well in Japan.
I searched for reviews and apparently the kid isnt ever illustrated in a sexual manner. If its meant to be wholesome, that should really be made clear and not be slapped on with a romance label because its misleading.
