Haven't read the story yet, but I don't understand why everyone is using what appears to be Western values on a source material based in a different culture. The age of consent over there is 13 years old. If they both consented, then it's technically okay (technically).
I'm not saying abandon your vvalues, but stop preaching them to the author in a (most times with manga, manhua, manhwa) different culture!
Age of consent in Japan isn’t 13 each province is allowed to set their AoC between 13-18 and all of them have it set to 16-18 dont make stuff up to defend pedophilia
I am not defending pedophilia. I literally googled the age of consent in Japan and the age that came up was 13. I don't live there. You can't expect everyone to know that is common knowledge if they don't live there.
Besides, this is fiction. My problem is that some people are reacting a bit too heavily. Japan is pretty known for having titles that say it all. If the title said the literal plot (one that you may happen to be against), please don't read it. Like I said in my previous comment, our values don't matter if it's being viewed in a different context from a (in this case) completely different culture.
How different do you think Asia is compared to rest of the world the reactions people are having here about the age gap would be the same in Japan using a niche medium (Yes even in japan) like manga to say we shouldn’t be viewing things through a kaleidoscope is dense of you. The cultural gap and difference in values in this specific situation isn’t as wide or as a different you're making it out to be but I get what you’re saying.
I also understand what you are saying. But there are subtleties that are put in some media that either can't be translated or are something you have to be a native or have lived there to understand. Plus different places view specific topics slightly different.
I can't expect everyone to read/watch with this in mind, but it is especially important for sensitive/conservative topics. Not accepting them as is, but not assuming things from them either.
Also thanks for replying in a nice way. I was expecting huge fallout from just stating my opinion.
Why are these heroines in these stories always trying to be an actress? Modelling I'd understand, but the film and tv industry is really hared to get into.
Is he trying to check if she's pregnant or poisoned? Knowing this fool of a man, he thinks his (imaginary) future concubine is pregnant with his friend's kid.
Or she's poisoned. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Idk with this stupid man.
Maybe both either way the emperor needs to gets a steppin
I literally thought the same thing and then saw your beloved comment.
Ahahahaha I love it imaginary future concubine ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ the emeperors screw in the head is loose I guess
He is checking to see if she really is poisoned....cause he thinks they are lying to him...
