Personally, the story itself currently doesn't show any kinds of pedophilic vibes. The haters are just mostly making up accusations and probably got too fed ub by social media activists.
Im referring to haters who specifically throws hate to the story itself. They can't accept the fact that they themselves (unintentionally or not) sexualized a wholesome, shounen ai tagged manga so they'll put the blame to the mangaka or innocent readers.

They write extremely bad female characters and just focus on male characters, maybe even make everyone of them fall for each other. It's kind of interesting and entertaining when you're new in this BL community, but it will get really tiring and somewhat irritating later on when you've read a lot.
As a BL fan for a long time, this is my experiences and opinions lol.
I'm kinda hoping that the mc will make a closure talk with him like "let's pretend we never know each other" or somewhere between the lines and will not be easily swayed by him EVEN IF THE GUY CRIES OR BEGGED FOR FORGIVENESS
I'm not saying that they shouldn't end up with each other, I'm just saying that THE GUY MUST SUFFER MORE....... before they get back together.... or not....
