This is weird

Is anyone else bothered by how shes like 12 and hes 27?? Like I know this was normal back then, but there’s a reason this isn’t socially/morally acceptable anymore. I don’t know why people keep making these light hearted stories with this weird ass dynamic between the lead characters.

    I don’t care about age gaps if they’re 18+. But it’s when you put an 12 year old and a 30 year old (or whatever his age is) in a marriage together is when I have a problem. We don’t know for sure if the... Tenpura

    Okay first of all, you could apply that to literally any fucking story. ‘Just bc it’s a book and it’s not actually happening irl it’s fine’ But that’s literally adding onto the problem, child marria... Ptasheo

    I am sorry but I do not unerstand why you can not keep it on fantasy level. It is as if you are saying you can not keep a murder rape war or discrimination on a fantasy level when you read it in a manga. Of course all of them are bad and/or disgusting.
    Bigger agegaps can be disgusting even if they are adults. In my country there was a woman who was able to marry a man old enough to be her grandpa just cause she wanted his money. It was digusting seeing a 28 and a 80 years old as a married couple, and I had to see them every day couse they were celebrities.
    I am not defending it for gods shake I just said that I read it and will not complain about it since the summary said that it will most likely be like this, so I have prepared myself for it. And I said this previously but it has too few chapters to say that it does not have any meaning why she is a 12 years old. Of course I do not mean that it will definietly will have a reason but we do not know much about the plot yet.
    About my parents I said it in accordance to another manga, I just drew a paralell between here and there, sorry if it was confusing.
    Although I know that childmarriage is disgusting but I accept it in the plot as unchangeable since no matter how much I complain and swear, the author will not hear it and change the plot just because I do not like it.
    Thats all and have a nice day. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    That’s bc when I read war scenes and rape scenes, they’re never shown in a positive light- telling the readers that it’s something okay/normal. And at this point I’m not complaining about the age gap, it’s the fact that this manga is showing child mariage in a positive manner, Romanticising it and basically telling the readers it’s okay!! He’s literally treating a 12 year old as his wife, he’s also fucking raising her. That shit is so creepy and fucked up that it’s beyond reading it on a ‘fantasy level’. Honestly, we’re all allowed to state our views on it whether the author changes the plot or nah. It’s just odd to me that the author deliberately made her a 12 year old, knowing that it’s creepy even though age gap romances are popular in Japan.

    Well I don't know how many people know the story of the prophet Muhammad in the Koran, he married his favorite wife Aisha when she was like 10 or 11 he was like in his 40's. What I'm saying is that it is something that was practice in our past, our history is well known. Men in the past were all petos and women had no rights to refuse who they married. It's fucked up, but it DID happen - That's a fact that can't be changed.
