Say it louder for those in the back !!!
Totally agree, I mean, yes. Fiction is fiction and honestly, people reading fucked up shit is not my business and I aint gonna pry for them to harm themselves. But like, man don't be just a fetish you know?
When i started reading it I genuinely did so expecting the romance to start when the kid got older as an adult, and that Yuu would actually act like one and keep on thinking of his feelings as a joke, because very honestly no fucking child has "lewd" dreams and thought for gods sake.
I can even read a good story that acknowledges how problematic it is and deals with it with some good or at least a plot that makes sense, but this is starting to feel more and more like the author wants to draw a kid in an explicit kind of way, and that is further seen with this kid character u say u hate, and yeah same.
I am a not rejection of yuu away to actually leaving this one. It ain't what I originally signed up smh
I agree with you
I just pressed a random chapter of it and it was of that one where yuu's female classmate, the one with short dark hair, seems to be insinuating, or even supporting the thought that Yuu has romantic feelings for tsubaki -chapter 57
I won't claim to be on the moral high ground saying it's pedophilia and that the author is a predator or stuff like that, cause it really has nothing to do with me lol it's tldr; I really couldn't care less about what it might say about the author and it's readers
I'm one of the people who agree that fiction is fiction and just leave it at that, basically that whatever is being written or read has nothing to do with what my morality and values are
Tbh really my gripe for the manga is how the story is being written, it's almost like they're low-key forcing Yuu to have and accept that he has romantic feelings for tsubaki. Like actually he says it his feelings for tsubaki are that of a younger brothers but the classmates inner monologue is basically saying "nah you like that elementary schooler you just don't know it" it's really not convincing, and in an effort to make it seem like he's reciprocating, they suddenly make him more "conscious" of tsubaki, and it really just doesn't look good for him lmao
AND THEN HERE COMES MY BIGGEST ISSUE (this is just personal dislike lol) THE BLACK HAIRED KID.
I don't even bother to remember his name cause what is even his purpose? To give a friend who motivates tsubaki into turning Yuu into a child offender? Jk I just really don't like this character he just makes the whole chapter bad for me no matter how cute the art he's drawn in.
Anyways probably wouldn't have had this issue if they didn't force the quote "love" Yuu feels, also definitely better if tsubaki's "love" stayed pure and innocent.
IG a good example of a shota that imo was written better is sayonara alpha where they r both mutually in love but the child is never aware of anything sexual and never have a label(?idk I think they never did) until he was older, he just really loved the older guy and even stayed away from him for his sake
Anyways this was just my personal opinion, I can't believe I took the time to type out damn, I don't even think anyone would read this I know I definitely wouldn't read a comment this long lol
