well if this manga is 'grooming' where is the uh " when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. Children and young people who are groomed can be sexually abused, exploited or trafficked." then? thats what shows up when i search "what is grooming?" on google btw.
folks, at least do your homework before commenting and slapping a label on something lol - i didnt see mizuki "exploiting" akari in any chapter- if there is one, then tell me it im curious. we all saw how mizuki's feelings developed gradually here, without any bad intentions bruh
yall pull up that one scene where he said he wasnt gonna sleep with akari and then did it - um, akari wanted it too? it was consensual with like REAL FEELINGS with GOOD INTENTIONS???? i swear if anyone replies - "hes 10 years older! akari is not as mature yet!" for fucks sake - mental and emotional maturity does not depend on age bruh
their story was amazing, i loved it sm<33

So you're saying akari is a mature 16 years old teenager? And that it's okay for a 16 years old to be with a 26 years old despite their gap in terms of age and life experience? Even if the 16 years old were mature, maturity for them and maturity for a 26 yrs old are not the same. Idk what makes you think that they could be on the same level

Isn't it the same case everywhere???....even someone who is 25 can have different maturity than someone else who is 25......yeah mizuki is older than akari and have more life experience.....but that doesn't say anything.....as the original said their wasn't any manipulation, exploit or abuse coming from mizuki.....so it can't be count as grooming at all.....and what's wrong with a 16 year old and 26 year old being together when both know what they are going into, understand what it means and accept it???.....u don't need to be on the same level in order to be in a relationship

Not you defending this relationship with all of your might. Even the older guy said it himself that what he's doing is a crime. Do you understand what that means? Do you understand why a 26 years old dating a 16 years old is morally and even legally wrong? Also, it's true that the level of maturity is different for everyone despite their age, but seriously? You literally have here a highschool teenager vs a working adult. The differences are so much bigger, not just in maturity but in developmental stages and experience. If you read my reply properly, I didn't talk about grooming. Even if there is no grooming, there can still be a power imbalance literally caused by how far apart their age is.
Now I don't mind huge age gaps as long as both parties are adults. But that isn't the case here. I would've been fine if Akari was in college, but he isn't. He's in highschool, and not even in his senior year. I'm genuinely scared for your kids one day if you think this is okay. I hope that your perspective on this is different when it's reality.
