I hate modern manga "audiences". Manga is looking great, I really like the demon lord daughter novels years ago, and this one has the same premise.

That's not just a hunch. There has been a weird push towards sussy age gap grooming romance lately. I've see a shoujo romance manga about a 34-year old caretaker of a 18-year old teenage girl. A bunch of isekais have grooming / lolishit for some reason. There's a bunch of teacher x student romance lately. There's like a few age gaps that I'm totally fine with, but the age gaps lately have been lowkey unethical.

There's been no push. You guys just weren't deep enough into the culture, now you are slowly getting further into it and coming across the less mainstream titles and you can't deal with their weirdness. It's been the same for the last two decades. Loli has always been a big part of manga culture, you can dislike it and not read it, but don't bother the people who do like it.

All y’all westoids reeing, crying, and screaming but this is a classic trope in Japanese literature that’s existed since before most of your countries even took shape.

It started from Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting of Empress Shoushi of the Heian era. She wrote one of the first novels in the world, during the Heian period at the start of the 11th century, The Tale of Genji, which featured the titular main character, Prince Hikaru Genji taking care of a young girl and teaching her until she became an adult, at which point they wed.

Now, distasteful as this may seem to all of you whining troglodytes, there is a massive cultural difference here, and this isn’t seen nearly as negatively in Japanese literature or media as is seen by westoids. This is also mostly exclusive to literature or media; Japanese people are not grooming young girls into becoming idealized brides any more than westerners are.

So stop being bitches about ‘grooming this’ and ‘grooming that.’ In these stories, the girls have their own agency, and choose to fall in love of their own will. The Tale of Genji itself was written by a woman, and the novel was very popular amongst courtiers of the Heian regardless of sex, the men and the women. You’re all dismissing that for some women, being raised by a benevolent father figure and falling in love with said father figure is a fantasy of theirs, as well.

Beautifully put, but these people will never understand. They're so entrenched into their little cultural pockets they don't even realize anything exists outside of it and they believe they have an absolute right over truth and morality.

Getting a cute waifu in easy mode? Yeah, why search for your perfect waifu when you can just groom one yourself? Also, dude, she is a child, why are you even mentioning how careless it is for her to sleep next to an adult man? She doesn't know any better, and you definitely shouldn't comment on it, that just makes YOU look creepy.

But it wasn’t even phrased as a “what if I raped you” thing
It was phrased as smth like “what if I wanted to kidnap you”, or “what if I was a human trafficker”, or any other form of exploitation of her carelessness

She's literally a homeless child, it doesn't matter how "careless" she is, a hungry, homeless child is bound to trust the very first person that gives her the slightest amount of care, attention, and most importantly, food. That's usually a phrase you'd see someone use on a young lady, not some prepubescent child. It comes off as weird that he is looking at her that way.

Such a great detail that the statue was scowling the first time you see it, then later is smiling when she is taken in.

Alright so the father or the church in the city. Who we killing first

 

[eviljackspicer]

Wow, lots of fucking retards dropping the "Groomer" accusation.
Me seeing LOTS of projection from the comments.

 

[Kurovah]

Ah, I was wondering why there was 100+ comments already

 

[eviljackspicer]

Gatekeeping has been in such a rapid decline the last decade that garbage secondaries like this just tour around looking for things to hate. Get out of my yard and stay in yours.

Also, grooming is not the same as genuinely caring for someone; if you're getting mixed up at that point then you're the one who needs to get their shit sorted.

Oh god please let Gatekeeping come back. I watched my old community's mods transform their position into a political one and let all the tourists in the door. Now we are over run.
We should be driving these mongrols back out the wilderness from whenst they came

[chojinra]

Yeah... I think I'm going to cut out reading the comments in this one. Still, looks interesting.

Miyazaki was right...

 

[LuckyNChance]

I SEE HER BONES FEED THAT GIRL

 

[Crisisninjax]

Fr😭 Like I get that this is weird as hell and certainly a choice made by the author for it to be a romance. But if the adult is not actively trying to get the child to fall in love with them then it’s not grooming. People need to stop using that word incorrectly or it’s less likely to be taken seriously.

But my thing is...why not just make them the same age?
