I'm not gonna normalised grooming and pdf , I believe people who label as such had a specific condition as they doing sexual activity when them not even a grown up, or the grow up when they were a child to adult ,
But if the one who fall in love with you is the younger one and they keep courting you to the point you are feeling pity and said you can try again when you grow up to make them give up, and the younger one is still courting because they love them so much, is that still grooming? I don't think so
It purely without a dirt though about sexualities,
Of course it maybe a different culture as well, mostly Asia people had a big gape age different and they married in a specific age when they considered adult.... As long as it not force and it kinky and all things lust age gap is normal in certain countries.
Purely love*

I do not understand why this trope is so popular.
You cannot raise a child and then fuck them. This is grooming nonsense. You cannot raise a child, change their gender into the perfect gender for you to fuck, and then fuck them.
If you live next door to a 12-year-old you cannot interact with them daily, ingratiate yourself into their lives, give them presents, make them like you as an authority figure, and then fuck them! That's grooming. It's grooming even if you wait until they're 18.
Using your developed adult brain and position of authority as an older person to raise a child and your perfect little fucktoy is grooming.
The main character of this manhwa is a disgusting degenerate groomer. The point of this manhwa is to show you how positive and great grooming is, it's to make you see the world from the point of view of a groomer, it's too normalize grooming.
