Hi! I saw your post and was so inspired by your progressive comment that I went ahead and emailed the Japanese author of this story with your attached comment, and translated it in Japanese. I will come back to you and tell you what they think. Also, I mentioned in the side note about the illegal distribution of this story as well as you partaking in such an act by reading this. If, by any chance, you’ve actually bought the raws of this story, I can send a second email if you give me proof of your purchase through direct messaging. Looking forward to hearing from you, sailormercury00! :)
I didnt get the intension of your comment. But good luck I guess. I dont nnow about the other one but I didnt purchase the raws for this but I did buy the authors other work. Its has been a few months already and if someone didnt translate it, i wouldnt have found it and I wouldnt havr bought it bc I dont speak japanese.
yes because this story wouldn't work if he was of age, totally wouldn't work. It's not like him being 15 TOTALLY isn't completely essential to the plot- dw guys!! I'm not a pedophilia- it's for plot I swear (≧∀≦) !!
It's honestly so fucking dumb- the author is normalising pedophilia- PEDOPHILIA- AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT? It actually baffles me that people are defending the author for "uwu the age of consent can be difficult-" and like, what? Even if it is, does that excuse the fact that the main character is legit a child- 15 year olds don't have the mental capacity to consent- that's not even opinion, that's scientific-
This story could have worked without the pedophilia, nothing would have changed if the author was like "HEY! Let's not be a complete creep by making the protagonist of my YAOI OMEGAVERSE manga a literal child! That seems fun-" Nothing would have changed, you are sexualizing a kid. It's different if they're the same age n' stuff but pairing him with a man that looks twice his age- that's disturbing.
Exactly! What bothers me especially is that the age of consent does not apply to legal adults. Even if the age of consent in Japan was 13, which for the most part it is not, it would still be considered statutory r*pe to engage in activities with a minor. This could've bern a normal story, but the author decided against it smh.
Regardless, is it not sus to anyone else that the writer chose a 15 year old boy as the MC in a perverted story? It would be one thing if both characters were the same age but this is just gross. If u don't think this is normalisation of paedophilia idk what to tell u.
