I swear the haters and the trolls are faster than actual readers of the story
Listen I won't justify me reading this because at this point I'll just exhaust myself even more, but one thing I want to get clear because some of the commentators have the audacity to label those who enjoy and read this as "Liking" Grooming and Pedophilia and that doesn't sit right with me because I get it it's the Internet everyone's anonymous or has the feeling of anonymity so you can assume and say shit
But I have to say clear something up, No I do not "Like" nor do I "Support" Grooming and Pedophilia. Just because I read this manga and enjoy it doesn't mean I enjoy such things, that's a horrible accusation even in the Internet, and plenty of readers are likely the same
The key difference is that I know how to separate fiction and reality, it's literally essential for my line of work to handle sensitive cases that also involves real life grooming and pedophilia and even worst cases, I sympathise with victims and want justice for them, I absolutely hate pedophiles and rapists and even want them to get the same punishment as murder cases heck I'd want the death penalty for them because victims will live with what happened to them for life which worst than murder in my opinion
I am an advocate and I have helped people in real life who actually went through such things, I abhor pedophiles and their actions, stop acting all holy over manga that doesn't even go close to what actual victims go through from real perpetrators and grooming because I am pretty sure very little of you met and helped people who went through that
I get it, I probably would've fought as hard as you are if this manga was real, but it isn't. I am not and will never be ok with pedophilia and grooming in real life, don't accuse of me of liking or supporting such things just because I read and enjoy this manga.
If you want to actually make use of your time being keyboard warriors I suggest you go and spread awareness of rapists and pedophiles who aren't sentenced and those who just walked free after serving less than their sentences because of "Good behavior" in prisons because believe me there are many real evil people around and walking free who has the chance to go and actually hurt a real child/person because the justice system if flawed as fuck
So many convicted pedophiles are walking free, some are even allowed to be near children, imagine those not convicted or not catched? And the victims are still hurt and not given justice. Put your attention into them, share posts about pedophiles walking free, go and sign up to be volunteers in shelters, be good people outside of this comment section because you're all so chronically online that your biggest worry is people reading this manga is so sad not gonna lie

Not adding to the post above
Seriously if you or someone you know is being groomed in real life, please reach out to someone, the authorities especially so something can be done about it
And it is important that you get counselling/therapy as victims often will suffer very lasting effects of going through something traumatic
And if it did happen to you, please remember It isn't/wasn't your fault, you never asked for any of it to happen to you, some people are just evil or sick but that would never justify hurting a person, hurting you
Reach out to authorities if something like that happens IRL. I am trained to deal with aftermaths of such events so if you ever need a listening ear I'll be glad to listen to you and try to help in ways I can
Be good people, and you can still be good people irl even if you read this manga don't forget it!

You WEIRDO!!! You help advocate for victims of pedophilia and deal with sensitive cases involving grooming but you still enjoy reading a fictional romance on this shitshow of a manga? Do you see the title, it has the term Shota do you know why it’s in the title because this is catered for Shotacons! You claim that,”it’s just fictional” but what do you think about the people who enjoy watching snuff films? How about the people who are lolicons and have figurines how their,”waifus”? you deal with these cases in real life how do you think any of the people you help and advocate for would do ,if they found out you were reading about a little boy and a high schooler?? And don’t say,”oh nothing bad happens” I looked through the photos people save of this manga and I see so many suggestive photos! That is actually crazy, you of all people should know better. Honestly, I would be ashamed of myself

This is absolutely false girl calm down we can tell
Unless you actually just do the work for the money.
That also it seems you’re lying or are still a student because simply stating “I work against pedophiles and handle these cases” really won’t justify you reading these in fact ruins it.
Moreover it isn’t about “separate fiction from reality” but morality.

Like if you don't like then don't read! Just shoo away please!
Remember to differentiate fiction from reality!
Plus the story has time and time again also reminded the readers that there isn't anything happening (that's too much) until Tsubaki grows up, I am pretty sure Yuu is in love with Tsubaki as a person and not as a child! He literally kept himself on a leash because of the age difference
Plus reading and enjoying this doesn't mean we are promoting or condoning pedophilia! If I ever see something wrong in real life even if the person is in their teens I will report it! And pretty sure majority of us would do the same
I absolutely hate pedophilia and believe pedos deserves a longer sentence heck they deserve the death sentence! But this story isn't it! This story is something different and it's clear! The only thing that could link this to pedophilia is due to the age gap, but if tsubaki was 16, ya'll wouldn't care even if yuu was in his 20s!
Stop you're moral debates because at the end of the day we are literally reading this on an illegal site! Which is also a crime

Fiction has never been exempted from ethical scrutiny, it's always a mirror to reality, even fucking fantasy and dragons genre and shit. If you read questionable things you gotta have the guts to deal with the fact that people are gonna say something. "Shooing" people online is so dumb, and honestly fucking funny.

I agree because people somehow doesn't understand that when someone is called pedophile, it's because they are SEXUALLY pleased by child's BODY. They masturbate and took pleasure from children. For example, watching childern porn and such. But here, Yuu has never showed those kind of symptoms or actions. In fact Yuu is potrayed to be quite pure for someone his age because he is just NOT HORNY. HE JUST NEVER SAW SOMEONE IN SEXUAL WAY BECAUSE HE IS TOO PURE. Isn't that like, one of his most important characteristics in this manga??
Tsubaki that has turned into teenager learning about "things" started to see Yuu sexually BUT. He already likes Yuu-nii even before he understand whatever about sexuality. This is PURE LOVE. As you said, Yuu probably hasn't really seen tsubaki "that" way until Tsubaki literally MADE him see him that way. And still Yuu has never took pleasure from the fact that Tsubaki is a child, he is even denying Tsubaki's feeling because he just SIMPLY never saw him that way.
And if Yuu ever started liking Tsubaki as a person, I don't think that count as a pedophilia as, once again, he doesn't take pleasure on child's body. It's just PURE LOVE. Like you can love someone romantically without sexually engaged or sexually attracted to them. People just doesn't seem to understand them and just started to label age gap love as pedophilia. No, it's not. Try to read once again what pedophilia is before labeling and calling your cops then get laughed at for it.

The whole that’s a you problem thing is so funny, you're the one who likes questionable tropes, out and proud, not me. If you read questionable shit and you just like it, you do you, but your questionable shit is gonna get called out for being questionable. That's fucking common sense. People crying out about a sour mood when people even slightly tickles their fight defense is fucking cathartic.
Calling out people who thinks fiction might mess with morals as the actual problem is a dumb strawman. Any story with a prepubescent kid being paired with an almost adult, with literal romantic undertone is bound to get scrutiny. My point is not boxed on moral-panic phobia, could be, but it's more the desensitizing of questionable tropes and how literally everybody here is so used to consuming problematic content in the name of 'love' that they think criticism is out of line but not what they're consuming. Thus the statement, media is not exempted from the criticism, like ever.
MAY FAV TEACHER-FATHER PAIRRRR YASSSS
