Konnichiwa brother how r u, my previous comment got deleted I don't know why they would do that but nothing can't be done now and u maybe wondering where I was these few days right ?! I was busy reading this amazing manga that I found recently it's title is "Kore wa Koi no Hanashi". U should read it, the author is some type of magician I think.
I only read romance mangas that peaked my interest. But based on what I read about the manga you're recommending, I don't see any remarks about fantasizing a literal child or making a move ON A LITERAL CHILD. Age gaps do exist, we all have different preferences whether we like the more matured one's or the naive ones, but let's all put a boundary on LITERAL CHILDREN. Some author's do mask their interests on stories, I really do believe that. And it irks me so...
The mere fact that these fans kept defending a predatory manga baffles me. It doesn't change the fact that mc is a creepy bastard who likes to molest children and some of the fans surely resonates with that character, for sure. Every pedos manga tbfh.
