ermmm so are we not going to act like the uke is not a groomer?? no excuses plz and idgaf argue with your momma and lemme know how that goes.

the meanig of Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. sooo abuse and sexual explot is the final FINAL product... but... i don't see that in here.. idk WE NEED MORE context on how they married and how they first time was to put a dead end. cut the cameras

that is the crime definition but either way the MC is still a groomer because he has known the ML since he was a child and pursued a romantic relationship. It does not matter if he waited til he was legal. Either way its odd asf and no further context is needed when he said himself what happened. You dont need a criminal motive to be a groomer. Thats like saying pedos arent pedos until they pursue a child but a pedo is a pedo when they hold the idea of children sexually. You dont have to commit the crime to hold the title. MC is a groomer point blank and its not up to discussion. Even with the argument that the ML when he was a child said he wanted to marry him, its up to the adult to correct said behavior and not entertain such ideas.

that makes me think HAAARD... like damn... sooo there is this thing that i want to ask... is just in my mind you saw aggretsuko? there is this hippo character called Kabae and she tells his story about how he meet his husband and she said that when she was a little girl she couldn't stop talking and she talked so much that everyone got tired of listen to her until one day she went to see the doctor bc she thought something was wrong and the doctor listen to her without getting mad or stop listening soo she fell in love and GOT MARRIED. When she got older ofc but GIRL I- grown ASS MAN WITH A JOB and they put it in this romantic scene and i obviously said Awwww ٩(♡ε♡ )۶ but i JUST wanna say it STUCK WITH ME AND is the exact same context is it grooming?? you can serch the vid is romantic af but the BOMBASTIC side EYE you give the story is just.... i wanna ask... bc idk

Agree! It's not like Mizuki fell in love with Kotaro when the kid confessed. They became a couple only after Kotaro became older than 18 (seems like they became official when Kotaro turned 20) and got married when Kotaro was 21.
It's also not implied nor mentioned anywhere that Mizuki became Kotaro's guardian or what, so idk what these purists are sayin LMFAO

To add on this too it said in the story the Mizuki didn't have any romantic feelings towards Kotaro when he was a child and they only became a couple when they were both adults. Mizuki says that he only thought of Kotaro as a little brother until Kotaro started making serious advances on Mizuki when Kotaro became an adult.

not sure if this was suppose to be a read or u thinking u gagged me but i DID NOT finish this shit when i saw that he was a groomer and no one deleted shit i edited it. Theres no reason i should have to have this argument with people over why this is wrong. Like i said idgaf argue with ya momma cause my argument stands. i think it speaks more about ur character that u think nothing is wrong and u need to grow up.

to be honest i agree but also.. cursing like that and being so childish makes me think that you are barely above 18.... if i can give an honest opinion about this manga is that is made for a mature audience in a very specific tabú theme for entertainment, IS getting very common to touch sensitive themes like this one and more mangas. The fun of it is get into the moral nerves of the audience (like you)and leave a sensation so it can be remembered or highlight in the pile. Making this i get to the cut i think the manga Dances AROUND the FIRE. It has the ESSENCE of a child and adult inmoral adult relationship but it makes it not grooming by getting both of the characters to have a romantic relationships AFTER their friendship/ brotherly interaction over the years. if it was grooming or rather abuse or child sexual explotation in will have to show and under age kotaro in school getting called or hang out with the uke doing adult stuff IF IT WOULD HAVE started RIGHT THERE, WOULD agree with the grooming but they are in adulthood and the romantic started there The uke did not broke his childhood innocence or interfere with his development. IN WHAT IS SHOWN case contrary i will come here and very gladly eat my comment but in the mean time i think this way.. what u guys think?

argee to disagree, my language does not speak for my age. Im not sure why the interpretation for this is that its art when its literally just smut. There is no artistic feel to this and this story very much could have been made without the weird child/adult dynamic of them knowing eachother as he grew up i have no issue with age gaps as long as they had no prior relationship, one being a guardian or power imbalance. My issue is that hes known him his entire life and hes dating him, yall are giving me the the literally crime definition like words dont have multiple definitions and informal definitions. This story could have been made with them meeting while he was 19 or 20 and there literally wouldnt be an issue to me but the first chapter made it weird. This is my last reply because obviously neither of us are going to change our minds i will still think this is weird idgaf.

YOU sound like a literal pedo projecting to others your weirdass thoughts online LMAOOOO do you feel better and above everyone else by 'clicking away' from the manga and leaving this type of bs comment now? You even sound like you play genshin and is a part of the western fandom LOLOLOL
Dynamic blah blah blah age gap blah blah blah damn sis just click the fuck off this manga's comments section then if you don't give a fuck?

Can it really be considered grooming tho? Sure when I first saw that he knew him as a kid, i was also put off but when I read how they were in the past, it was the ML who had a romantic interest with the MC from the very first time they met. And MC clearly said he did not see ML as romantic interest until ML started making a move on him when he turned legal age. Mc did not purposely manipulate nor make any connection with ml that will make him love mc or make ml act in any way that is advantageous for mc. From what I've read, he grew up with ml, treated him like a neighborhood kid, realizing that he was not a kid anymore after ml aggressively showed him that he's in love with mc, fell in love with him, they became a couple, and got married. A normal love story that happened to have an age gap. Also if youre gonna say that mc must correct ml as a child when he proposed to him, didnt the mc ignore it? He wasnt even entertaining ml's love confession until he himself eventually realize that he has fallen in love with him, where in they are already both adults.

Im predicting this is going to be like the other yaoi on here called No Reason. For the simple reason *spoiler* that the reason the ML in no reason allowed all the gang rape and other shit to happen to dude is because he wanted to be his knight and shinny armor and have MC beg and rely on him for help to make ML feel o so much better about himself with his hero complex. Although with this one maybe it was all one big plan like the dude who gave him the fake idea about the pearl and it was all one huge trap. But most def Verkin or wtv his name was wanted him to go through so he could be the knight. idk though just my speculation.

i read no reason and i think it’s a lot better than this story. the uke in that is also unreasonably addicted to dick, but he had a better character and wasn’t so pathetic. the seme was definitely a character and much more interesting to read about in my opinion. if i remember correctly there’s not as much smut so it’s less rape smut like this, so it allows for a decent plot. ofc the uke ends up with the seme and actually goes out of his way to find the seme in the end. but that’s every manga/yaoi. i’ve read so many where the pathetic ukes run back to the shitty rapey semes in the end. so this is probably one of them and “no reason” was also one of them. liked that much better than this tho. poor ukes, both need to be checked for stds and be put it therapy immediately. ╥﹏╥
whaa ????
My exact reaction bruh like wtf was that ending
