Spoiler warning....
Ch 3
She knees him right in the crotch! The story gets 5 stars just for that, I never thought I'd see an FL actually do it, so I'm sooo glad to see it!
Ch7
Ok, I'm keeping the 5 stars but this always irks me about these. Why do MLs become jerks when it comes to sex? Here the ML literally has his bodyguards pick her up so she doesn't run away, all for his convenience so they can have sex. When she doesn't want to go more rounds because she'll be tired in the morning and she has work, he doesn't bother to be considerate. No matter what she says, they continue. Then the talking... The way they always talk in these is so degrading. I've only seen it once or twice where it was acceptable because the FL was a masochist who was into it. He humiliates her and leads her around sexually, and of course he was in love with her the whole time. I wish she'd just knee him in the balls again (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
And when he's angry and jealous? He uses sex to get back at her. I hate it so much, I don't know how anyone could find that sexy or even okay. Why is every ML a sadist and every FL a masochist? (Not every but way too many.)
The story is completed, I found the raws elsewhere, ch30.5 with 2 side stories 31-32. There's some scandal before ML confesses around ch16 (I think, I used Google translate on the image and that's what seems to have happened.) There'll be some drama with the moms before they marry and have a daughter.
I love this the couple is so cute together and the art is nice, but I kinda still want the MC to go home.
I usually let it go when in Isekai stories people have a way to go back but choose not to because there's nothing waiting for them there, but MC is a workaholic no matter where, and he has parents he clearly cares for waiting for him at home. I don't know how that will work with the romance, but I do hope this story continues to not follow the usual tropes (even the holy maiden has a family and wants to eventually go back to them, usually they're orphans, or dead in their world.)
It's a good story, but if you're bothered by minors being intimate with adults, this is not for you. They get together when he's 16, and while there's no penetration, he does see her naked and go down on her one time. FL still talks about crossing a line, but it was crossed a long time ago smh.
I kinda expected this of Japan, I've seen so many manga where a high school girl was paired with a teacher/other older adult and there was no holding back on the smut, so this isn't even a surprise to me (I try my best to avoid those). It makes me mildly uncomfortable, but oh well, I'm the one who chose to read it. And I actually like the trope, I just wish he'd been even a year older. In the latest chapters, too, while together on Christmas they almost go all the way, and for some reason the FL acts all shocked when he literally said himself he wouldn't be stopping (he's 17 at this point).
Also, Hiroko was sexually assaulted by his father's secretary in middle school (like 13-14, he didn't look too young) (he consented, but that's still grooming and statutory rape since she took care of him from when he was 8. This disgusting woman goes on to sleep with his dad, and other kids in his class to use them to control Hiroki.)
There are genuinely good parts of the story, that I would love so much more, if the author/artist wasn't edging the smut with a minor. There has been no penetration so far, but sex is far more than that. I feel like they just wanted to drag on the story, but for how long? It's already been 200+ chapters and the ML just turned 17.
I don't know if the story got dropped, but I sincerely doubt they're going to hold on much longer before going the final step. The kid couldn't hold back for a few months, I doubt he'll hold back for another year. I guess since the sexual age of consent in Japan is 16 it's probably fine over there, but it's 18 in my country. And now that I'm older, I understand a little more why stories like this can be problematic.
Oh well. It's fictional anyway
The first 18 or so chapters are so cute, seeing Abel with the tiny prince and bringing the abused child out of his shell was so heartwarming
