Discussing Explicit mangas with underage characters.
Anyone else who’s recently growing up feel extremely uncomfortable reading anything with underage characters in it. Like it’s set in highschool or something. I used to not see a problem with it because I was that age(same as the characters) but now that im older then them it’s just straight weird. I understand the highschool setting but having explicit scenes included… idk man. Also what I find even more weird is all these mangakas are well into their 20’s+!!! Just make it college setting or make it shounen ai, tf do you need two 16 year olds going at it for. It genuinely makes me feel sick.
This is insanely normalized.
I don’t understand how someone who is deciding to make a whole manga, with an editor, publisher, etc. who’s is an adult, is approved and can all think it’s fine to make something with these types of characters.
If you’re under 18 you’re probably not gonna understand. Or this isn’t something you’re worrying about so just move on.
And also I notice it not only in yaoi, it’s in smut too! It’s always highschool girls, or highschool boys (which are usually paired with a whole ass adult or 5000 year old demon)… ik this is a well known and lasting problem but it’s just crazy how normalized this is in Japan and Korea. (Not even gonna get started on manhuas)
