[EasyMcgee]

why you gotta take a perfectly good manga and throw in the middle-schooler love interest? why

Come on ffs, what is with japan and their obsession with minors, imagine a western movie about a college student who is attracted to a middle schooler, that thing would get banned everywhere, and before anyone says “bbbbbbut its just a drawing she doesn’t exist” these type of things are just wrong, even if its in a manga, the fact that there are people who would defend these kinds of things is truly sickening, if you are like 19 or 20 you shouldn’t be attracted to a 10 year old, sad that it turns out this way cause the premise was interesting.

You can acknowledge something is wrong without boycotting a work of fiction for including it. A Song of Ice and Fire contains countless examples of grown men marrying pubescent girls, but people are entirely capable of suspending their disbelief and withholding their moral outrage because they understand it's a fictitious setting that has nothing to do with the real world. I just happen to be willing to extend the same sentiment to otaku media like anime, manga, and light novels.

And if you're not willing to extend that sentiment, that's perfectly okay as well. There's an incredibly simple solution to your problem: don't consume that media.

Another thing to consider: this isn't just a work of fiction, but a comic-- real people aren't even being used as representatives of characters. The characters are entirely fictional, the characteristics thereof basically arbitrary. Accordingly, it's easy to pick and choose the aspects of the narrative/characters you want to latch on to in order to justify your liking of the work. It's reasonable to not take that approach, too, viewing it more conventionally.

For example, my affinity for the "yandere" archetype isn't me literally wanting to have my autonomy transgressed upon to the point of being a rape victim, but with my dire yearning for intersexual intimacy the dizzyingly spectacular energy of their distorted affection. Some authors using this archetype have even made plain the hidden-in-plain-sight selfishness of the yandere, or even the selfishness of one who would fully embrace such a person.

I find the statement "these types of things are just wrong" in response to a comic that involves no real identities, especially absent any specific moral or ethical system, to just be a personal expression of disgust (and the comment about "Japan's obsession with minors" is just showing their age if they actually think that). There are plenty of other things that occur in comics that would be reprehensible if they were committed in real life (and there'll be other reprehensible things depicted in this comic, apparently), but we readily recognize to not take those things too seriously.

Binge read the LN as far as it's been translated. If this story doesn't end up as a herem end, the JC flat out deserves to win.

Spoiler

She's thirsty as hell, but god damn she took the hand she was dealt and fucking LOCKED IN before the other girls even figured out there was a game afoot.

Best character by far.

Just look at this guy. He possibly isn't even really into loli-- he just admires the dedication of an underdog.

inb4 this guy reveals the amount of money he dropped on Blue Archive

I can feel the double standard of the few comments.

Older man x young girls = pedophile

Older woman x young boys = you go girl. Ara-ara~ Mommy/Onee-san

The occurrence you're illustrating isn't the product of hypocrisy, for the record-- especially since manga readers online are increasingly eager to make "FBI OPEN UP" jokes and point out anything resembling pedophilia in manga narratives.

Rather, you're talking about two entirely different kinds of people. Those ones of former category hate both the former and latter premise, and those ones of the latter category actively like the latter premise while being apathetic-at-worst to the former premise.

 

[manadrop]

Me like the series. Berry thanks for the translation.

 

[WalkingTargetPractice]

How the heck did she end up on top of him? Did he actually just fall to the floor really fast to act like a cushion instead of just grabbing her shirt or something?

 

[2lost2come]

I made an account just to say that I fully forgive this series, the beginning was off putting and the whole thing just seemed so off compared to the other series.
But then the light of cunny blinded me, and I can confidently say I saw nothing, all is forgiven...
Not even the other series is brave enough to pull this stunt.

 

[Mr.avalon]

I hope their relationship develops into like a cute brother-sister dynamic, also hoping the MC doesn’t catch any feelings for a middle schooler 🙏

I read the novels and oh boy...
Reply if you want slight spoiler on her

 

[Mr.avalon]

Just a minor spoiler


but this young girl is the most aggressive out of all his harem. Bar none.



Edit: Oh no. It's Seira-san...

Spoiler: Spoiler

Nah she Yuka straight up S'A(groping and kissing DEEP)/pin him down several times and almost r@pe him. While seira is the nicest out of all of them.

 

[Mr.avalon]

He probably thinks of her as the cute local kid or little sister.
little girl just entering puberty getting her first crush, and the classic line of "I'm not a kid" we all know, how cute.
( pls dont take the kid crush seriously author, it's nice to see a protagonist in college age for once, these are rare🙏)

Read the novel: Yup he thinks of her as a little sister.
Her on the other hand... STATUTORY RAPE

 

[Mr.avalon]

YUKA THE RAPIST STRIKE AGAIN

 

[Mr.avalon]

Spoiler

That's exactly the relationship dynamic they'll have. Until Yuka puts her foot down and forces him to see her as a girl with her relentless, physical advances. Even though he doesn't see her as a romantic interest because of their age difference, he's undeniably attracted to her and laments the fact that she turned him into a lolicon. And by "laments," I of course mean "continually puts himself in situations that will allow those advances while making no attempt to stop them."

tl;dr Yuka has the highest power level in the harem.

yup she almost r@pes him lmao she had a c0ndom and was undressing him and everything lmao

 

[MiguelH224]

Welp, her friends were right about one thing.....she's def a perv

 

[Kaarme]

Working at a host club... With his personality, I hope he won't get killed by a (female) serial killer, in that world.

 

[aznkane87]

He's a 19 year-old in his first year of university - 7 years older than Yuka.

Spoiler: Pretty mild spoilers

The high school girl will be introduced after the crazy bitch previewed at the end of this chapter. She's the one with the book in CH1.

Yuka just entered first year of middle school while Masato just entered college. But in Japan, middle school starts after the 6th grade so it's equivalent to the 7th grade in the US, so she's probably 13 years old. Masato would be 18, so it's a 5 year difference.
It's still a pretty big gap but it's not as big as people are making it out to be. They're both still teenagers.

It's still a pretty big gap but it's not as big as people are making it out to be. They're both still teenagers.

Typically speaking, first year of middle school in Japan is begun at age 12. The beginning of the series is set in spring, and I'm 90% sure the light novel specifically cites Masato's age as 19 - which is what I had in mind when making that comment. Yuka may have already turned 13 if her birthday is early in the school year, but taking everything above into account, she still can't be any fewer than 6 years younger than Masato.

Here's a way to remember this in the future:
1st year middle school: 12-13
2nd year middle school: 13-14
3rd year middle school: 14-15
1st year high school: 15-16
2nd year high school: 16-17
3rd year high school: 17-18

The only way for her to be close to 5 years younger than Masato is for her birthday to be extremely early in the school year, and his to be at the tail end of it. But again, I'm fairly confident he's 19, so that's not possible.

"Once she grows and her body develops, I'll definitely lose."
Why say the "and her body develops", it sounds weird. Just "Once she grows up, I'll definitely lose."

 

[DryFish]

seriously, bro doesnt even need to be in a 1:5 ratio world to be popular with ladies
