I'd feel the same way, if he groomed her.
He met her as an adult and not as some impressionable high school student. It's not like he stalked her from her teens years and pounced on her when she turned into an adult.
If she was in her 30's and him in his 40's, it would still bother some people. Why? And it's not even the matter of being a creep or grooming anymore. It's the age gap that people have a problem with.
Like with George Clooney and his wife, Amal. She was 36 when she married Clooney and people STILL had a problem with it. He didn't groom her, he wasn't a creep,.. it was the age gap. Granted, a 17 year gap is pretty big, but she wasn't a child.
They were two consenting adults, like Fukami and Risa.
So I don't understand where this "he's such a creep" statement is coming from.
Quick what is a established ceo has in common with a freshman in college? One that brought her home and intended to sleep with her after their first time meeting? Who confessed right after seeing her vulnerable and hearing that it was her first time? After love bombing the fuck out of her without even getting to know each other? Sure he might not be a “creep” but he was greasy as hell. at that point He might as well scream that his type is an innocent naive young woman who’s easy to manipulate lol
He didn't groom her, she was in college. That's my takeaway from this manga.
You.. idk what's wrong with your brain.
"Quick what is a established ceo has in common with a freshman in college"
Isn't that what dating is for? To establish common interest. Also, she wasn't a freshman, she was 20 years old when they met.
"One that brought her home and intended to sleep with her after their first time meeting"
When they first met he saved her, took her to dinner, she got drunk by herself, he wanted to drive her home but she was knocked out, he slept on the couch. He didn't even do it the first time when he found out she was a virgin. They didn't do it until after a week later. The first time they did it, nothing was supposed to happen yet, but she told him she wanted to do it. So they did it.
"Who confessed right after seeing her vulnerable and hearing that it was her first time?"
That happens. Also girl had every opportunity to say no, but even she was happy. "Yay! I did it! What a miracle!" - Risa about getting a boyfriend.
"After love bombing the fuck out of her without even getting to know each other?"
He asked her out. Isn't that what dating is for? Getting to know one another?
"innocent naïve young woman who’s easy to manipulate"
If she were all those things then she should have been easily manipulated by Fukami's assistant when he was trying to break them up. Or when Fukami's father trying to intimidate her and pay her to break up with him.
Anything else?
what i dont remember their age gap being 12 years… and him being 32… he’s such a creep
