I've been re reading a lot of the manga I liked over a decade ago. HOW COME THE AGE GAP IS GIVING PEDOPHILIA? omg I used to love this manga. The story is great, the characters were awesome, the comedy was top notch. In my head the age gap was like: 17 almost 18 and 22 or something. But it's 16 and 24. I'm not the age of Kurosaki yet, I can't picture myself dating a 16 years old, wtf?
Let's think rationally here, is it because in Japan at the time 16 years is culturally is appropriate? Well a quick Google search later...........at the time of release of this manga the age of consent in Japan was 13, it was changed to 16 years old just a couple of years ago (2023). So in that context this manga was not a crime. But my western brain can't really accept that. I still love this manga....someone change the ages.
