Yea I commented on this indirectly and got bombed with 21 dislikes like dam if u like kids so much go ahead
Yeah I get that it was supposed to show that he is still naive (despite it was his brother that got it for him) but that wasn’t needed
If I remember right at some chapters his friend hong(?) also wears shorts but still I agree with you. I'm so sick of authors' making ukes' look like children or making grown ass men think like middle school girls just bc they are uke so they should be naive. In a manga I read, uke is a lawyer at a big law firm and he thinks like a bad written shoujo mc. Ugh.
It was cute at first, but then I noticed that he was the only one with shorts and not pants? I tried skimming through the next chapters to hopefully prove me wrong, but after the last panel where the fox sees his underwear and describes it as "children's style" I immediately got the ick. It was too close to shotacon territory, unfortunately.
