But this is the second manga that has attempted to normalize women abandoning their children. This is disgusting. Children need parents in order to thrive. There is no excuse for leaving your children. "Oh, I want my mom to be happy." You're not an adult and shouldn't be forced to work in order to survive. Parents have an obligation to their children. His mother, regardless of how she treated him before, was trash for leaving her son for some man. There is no "other side" to this. What she did was objectively wrong. Fuck her. Hiroyuki's parents were great though. If they learned to knock, they would be perfect. Gonna have to dock some points because of that, but at least they didn't abandon their son and have him fend for himself. The way Hiroto's involvement in sex work bothered me too. Do young people get involved in survival sex work? Absolutely. I say survival because it is often done in order to have access to food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other basic needs. It's not done for shits and giggles. Other reasons are commercial exploitation, drug addiction, trying to support family, etc. It's not Hiroto's fault that he got into sex work. His mother put him in a situation that he should have never put him in. The fact that one of the teachers was a client just makes it worse. So much of this manga was fucked up and it was just glossed over. Hiroto's clients were clearly adults so every single one was engaging in child rape. Every single one. Including the teacher. But who cares because the art style is cute are Hiroyuki and Hiroto are so cute, right?! These are very heavy and dark topics that should not be dealt with lightly. Lastly, that bitch whose name I can't remember--she basically blamed Hiroto for his own rape, which was gross. I'm not going to get into all of my beef with rape in the Omegaverse, but that should've been explored more. You can't have underage survival sex work, child abandonment, child rape, sexual assault, child exploitation AND have a fluffy cute romance AT THE SAME TIME! It doesn't work!!
