THREE YEARS ??? you mean like the black haired guy stayed with the child for 3 years??? What are we even talking about
If a grown man stayed with a child who he is actively protecting then yes??? Its a paternal kind of bond. Its like joel and ellie from last of us
How would you feel if ellie ended up with Joel after 10 years of separation? Would you find that justifiable too?
And my question still stands; how can someone form a romantic attraction to a child they knew when they got older?
NO YOU DUMB BITCH HE TREATED HIM LIKE A KID AND PROTECTED HIM... HE WASNT HIS FATHER FIGURE OR FAMILIAL IN ANY WAY.... HE HAD A NICE BROTHER AND A RELATIVELY PRESENT FATHER...... ur not paying attention to so many of the subtle details like ur seriously missing SO much. Also with the pretense of their "marriage" the kid obviously kind of liked him FROM THE BAT.
"And my question still stands; how can someone form a romantic attraction to a child they knew when they got older?"
They're been separated for 20 years and the kid clearly still thinks of the man as his wife... And the kid is no longer a kid anymore. They have to rebuild the bond, especially the kid, due to the separation. After 10 years of course things have changed. The whole point is that things are different and I feel like it's very obvious tei is the one who will have to adapt.
This is a public piece of media that is bound to be criticized and it was on the front page of this website and i was curious just like you
Im not a fan of this author and i don't follow their work, most of the stories i read by them were either recommended to me or i just came across
And its really childish to hit someone with "don't read it then" when they share their opinion about a comic btw, it just shows me your immature and probably a teen
I personally dropped this cuz i don't fw grooming, but its genuinely none of your concern what i read
And this comment is giving "you are so weak you can't read rape and pedophilia unlike me mwahaha

Y'all are forgetting that this is a kid, he has been (or is actively being) groomed into thinking that marrying a stranger decades older than him is okay by his parents/royale life.
And let me repeat; he got MARRIED to a grown ass man. This is just weird if you couldn't tell.
So far the black hair's intentions are just to protect the child and is mostly showing him parental like care (which lets remember; is the best case scenario for that kid) - but my question is; how can romance spark from this context without it being completely nasty? How can someone who met a child and basically raised them for a while(depending on the story) start having romantic feelings for them when they're older? Its giving uncle at the barbecue when you reach puberty
This is just disturbing and I can't believe people are defending it.
Y'all need to have higher standards
