I'm curious, does this really count as "shotacon/pedophilic" when in the story it's actually the kid crushing on the highschooler and not the other way around?

Iām leaning more towards the no end of the spectrum? Because the āadultā in the relationship doesnāt have pedophilic feelings for the minor, and Yuu never really makes any romantic advances towards Taubaki, and we only ever see him thinking Tsubakis cute (in a brotherly sort of way)
Also, Tsubakiās crush on Yuu could be labeled with the term āpuppy loveā, which isnāt typically associated with pedophilia or shotacons.
I wanted to love it so bad but I just can't over the fact that the sexual harassment thing was just glossed over, especially since the seme literally had nightmares about it? Would've made it so much more interesting if the Seme actually had a talk with the Uke about his behavior being workplace sexual harassment .
Thank you! I was searching for a comment like this. "I do not hate it so it's not SA". Erm, no, it's still is. This plot point left a bad taste in my mouth.
Glossed over?? The author didn't gloss over it, they created a whole ass chapter about the character coming to terms with it and understanding that if he literally doesn't mind, it's not something he needs to worry about.
I know people do not like to acknowledge this sorta thing, but this is what reality is like: If you don't mind the advances of someone, then it's not needed to make a huge deal out of it and act like it's a criminal offense. Some people simply do not care to see this as a problem. Similar to the saying of: "The sound of hooves doesn't mean it's necessarily a horse." (For some it is a horse, others know to expect a zebra. To each their own.)
