You do realise you called "rentarou" the pedophile?
And I quote: "how much of a weirdo pedophile he is and althoguh rentarou is great hes also a pedo bye."
A pedophile is someone of older age who engages in sexual acts with a minor.
I know you don't like to use words for their intended use, but that is how words work; they have a set definition that allows people who speak the same language to understand.
so did you not read what i fucking said where i said i worded it wrong and hes a predator instead ^^ bc in any world it is weird and creepy and predatory to be into a middle schooler as a high schooler. also its fucking weird that the one science girl looks like a kid most of the time and hes still into it like is that not pedophilic behavior at the very least
This is what we call "Projection". I believe you are angry at me thus you see my messages as hostile.
My evidence for your anger: The use of caps lock and your hostile way of writing.
This probably stems because you think I am defending the character; in truth, I am just clarifying your use of words as incorrect.
Words such as "Pedophile" and "Predator" carry heavy meanings that misuse means you don't take them seriously.
Let's give you a google definition of predator: "People who commit sex crimes, such as rape or child sexual abuse, are commonly referred to as sexual predators".
You should prosecute the mom in this case but because of your misandry; you prosecute others without viewing the truth.
I am just disappointed.
As an outsider, that is an extreme reach in conclusions. This is almost funny to read because both of you are having two entirely different conversations with Yota focusing on the main character’s predatory behaviours and completely glossing over the mother preying on a high schooler? (If it’s a romantic relationship, then send the mother to jail, that is not a matter of preference, that is still predatory behaviour) and then mangadexorg going off about semantics (and look, words do not have a set definition, thou hath ought to go check out semantic shifts. Congrats if you could read that because you have also just used context clues) and what’s with the psychoanalysis? Your clinical diction isn’t subtle and backfired because it reads more like a personal fixation with Yota than any actual discussion.
Anyways my two cents is: adults liking teens, and teens liking kids, both fall under predatory behaviour because the life-stage gap creates a power imbalance built on inexperience. High schoolers and middle schoolers may both be children but they are at vastly different levels of maturity.
Thanks you two for being a good indicator of whether this manga was worth reading or not.
Treat it more like difference in political parties. Akin to "I don't like you because you use magago and all the users here are bad". I'm here instead of using mangadex because it has a better ui only for manhwa and shounen jump stuff that's been removed from mangadex. Everyone here uses twitter and that makes them insufferable.

im on chapoter 38 and the mom + the middle schooler is still killing me i can't stop thinking about how much of a weirdo pedophile he is and althoguh rentarou is great hes also a pedo bye. a 15 yr old shld not be with a mom, especialyl the mom of ur FIRST gf
