It's the child grooming, borderline incest and pedophilia for me . . .
Fr its so weird
Isn't the more impotant thing is that they are in love with each other the age gape is not important ... It's true love not pedophilia Σ( ￣□￣||)
Lmaoo what omg I swear you are so stupid what lmaooo pls educate yourself this is embarrassing
OMFG IT'S NOT HIS FUCKING FAULT IF HE LIKES HIM DAMN IT DON'T JUDGE SOMEONE LIKE THIS MAYBE YES THE AGE GAPE IS A LITTLE BIG, AND HARU IS POSSESSIVE SO WHAT HUH?!
Oh and before you tell me to educate myself you better check if your brain work cuz I don't think you understand what's love
Fuck off literally you are trying to justify pedophilia LMAOO people like you are so stupid
Jesus Fucking Christ you're really out here trying to justify pedophilia? Ok, then what if one day your brother/sister goes "@Miss_Fujoshi, I'm in love with our mother/father, it's true love." Is that true love as well? Age gap is definitely important: what is there that's attractive about a child to an adult? You think any 25 year old would look at a 16 year old and go "It's true love uwu"? No, they'd see someone to rape and abuse for years.
It most definitely is his fault that he likes a child, and even if for some reason he has a mental sickness he can't control, he should get help, no make out and groom a defenseless child.
* No, they'd either be sane adults who'd see a child to protect, or sick perverts who see someone to rape and abuse for years.
I'm gonna believe that you're a teenager (not that that's an excuse) and hope you grow out of that toxic mindset before you fall to predatory behaviour, or become a sick predator yourself.
Wait isnt ren 17/18 and haru 22/25 and the age consent in japan 13??
Ren started as a young teenager who was living with Haru, a fully grown adult who is basically his guardian and thus holds a position of power over him. And now, the age of consent isn't 13 in Japan. And no, child grooming doesn't always include sex.
If the mangaka had portrayed these typical yaoi dynamics in a slightly different way, she/he could've written a yaoi manga depicting an abusive relationship that could've revolutionized the yaoi community. Because make no mistake, this is a textbook abusive relationship.(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Manga like these is why I don't trust the ratings on this site.
Maybe I'm getting too stuffy about the logistics, but a 28 y/o police officer who's holding a position of power over a 19 y/o kiddo he's supposed to be watching makes for a very questionable premise; and a strange abuse of power. Add to that the match-making scene which was pretty unnecessary. Like, no one has to tell their partner everything, but since it's a new relationship feelings are bound to be more fragile and unstable, so Gou hiding the fact that he was invited to a mixer by a colleague from Akihito just seems to be asking for more 'drama'. He could've easily explained the situation to Akihito and reassured his much younger partner instead of calling him a spoilt child (although Akihito is still practically a kid) and then getting pissed over Akihito's reasonable insecurities. Idk, this just didn't do it for me.
I think some time passed since they met again?? Like a few years or so??
No, I'm pretty sure only a few days passed until that scene.
It said they didn’t talk for a month so im guessing it was that long?
Hooo boy! I hope he gets an actual redemption arc even if a lot of his feelings - not his actions - were hella justified. I'm glad that someone noticed that even without her memories, the Princess' very core changed. Nurture plays a huge role in someone's life, but so does nature; the Princess' lack of memories changing her inherently as a person is possible but not guaranteed. I hope that Nadricka will also realise that FL isn't really the Princess otherwise I'll be really disappointed.
I can't be the only one who feels horrible for him. Sure, our current FL suffering cause of him wouldn't be right since she's not the OG princess, but the dude's had his family killed, kingdom destroyed and was essentially raped by the princess and used as a tool. He also seems to developed some truly tragic, twisted feelings towards her because of the disconnect between the abuse he suffered at the OG princess' hands and the empathy and regret the FL shows him. Now, as he views it, the princess who ruined his life and abused him so thoroughly doesn't want to interact with him anymore and is telling him to live his life even though he doesn't really have one because of her. Add to that Yuriel a girl he loved who ended up betraying him and the poor guy can't catch a break. No one in this novel has suffered like him yet the readers are clearly biased and unsympathetic.
Thank you for putting it into words! I had the same thoughts and I agree. Ettsen is such a beautiful and tragic character. The scene of him and the princess by the tree was just, wow. My heart goes out to him. All of the male leads have a lot of potential, but I have a soft spot for Ettsen.
Yess, I can't express it but I hope they will have more encounters with the princess.
Yes exactly!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who felt this for Ettsen...I really don’t understand why she thought it would be okay to just say “live your life”...she acts as if she’s moral and such but doesn’t take responsibility for him.
I'm not judgmental enough, or so insecure, that I'd call a person with multiple partners a slut. It wasn't cool of Kenma to string along the men he was dating, nor for Kuroo to be so forceful and judgmental about a relationship he had no clue about, but they're young so they'll learn. If you can't read about a character dating quite a few people one after the other then do some self reflection.
That being said, we were robbed of good sex!
No comment on the story because I haven't finished it, but the sight of this skinny ass twink with sticks for arms being some badass fighter made me wheeze ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ Like IK that's probably sensei's art style but I can't take the sight of these malnourished twerps being any good at fighting. Like bro! Where's your muscle mass?(≧∀≦)
Everyone has their own preferences and kinks. What works for some might not work for others and that's perfectly okay as long as we don't let it affect our everyday behaviour. That includes commenters who dislike the manga because if you honestly can't deal with people disliking something you like then you need to grow tf up. Not everything thinks this shit is gold.
That being said, don't try to morally justify this bs either. Unless you're clear on what child grooming and pedophilia is, a lot of your opinions aren't backed up by facts at all. This manga does glamorize child grooming and pedophilia by showing it as true love or something, and if that wets you wanker then whatever. But don't try to provide justifications especially by saying stuff like the age of consent is 13 in Japan (no, it's not, and the age of adulthood is still 18) or that people in Japan would accept this (hentai showing f/m rape is also accepted and popular, so is sexualizing underage girls so what's your point?).
You like this stuff, then go ahead. But don't gatekeep when people who're genuinely concerned and not buying into the delusion that fiction doesn't affect reality express their distaste, as is within their complete right to do so.
spill bestie!!
Much charmed (づ￣ ³￣)づ
