Poor Mii-chan, still hung up on this total loser... I get it tho
OTP defenders hear the rallying cry and PROTECC!!If they want it to work out anyway, threading the needle despite likely pitfalls, that's the story they'll tell.
Look buddy, if you replaced the main character with a guy, the creepiness would be obvious. It doesn’t magically become acceptable just because they’re two girls. The age gap is still disturbing. I hope the author surprises us and goes for the more age-appropriate relationship, but considering the usual trends in Japan, that seems unlikely. The MC still comes off as super creepy and predatory, she is lusting after a teenager, while our teenager is clearly deeply mentally and emotionally damaged. You’d have to be pretty far into moral relativism to think this is a match made in heavenThis is fiction, where an author is in control of all the outcomes. If they want it to fall apart in a disaster, then that's the story they'll tell. If they want it to work out anyway, threading the needle despite likely pitfalls, that's the story they'll tell. It doesn't make too much sense to think "this would be unhealthy in real life".
I mean, how many action stories have a protagonist say, "no, I need to handle this on my own"? Strategically, it's a terrible decision that would more realistically get them killed. But it's done to show something about the character (whether they succeed or fail). That's the kind of stuff fiction lets you do. It's about exploring something that you normally can't.
When did I ever say anything even remotely like "match made in heaven"? This story is exploring a certain idea. If you can't handle reading a fictional story about that idea...don't read it?Look buddy, if you replaced the main character with a guy, the creepiness would be obvious.

That’s terrible advice. I can’t believe the author is still going to proceed with the romance when the story has already shown how unhealthy it is for everyone involved. They all need psychological help, not a relationship
I think you misunderstood the point now.Needing psychological help does not mean people don't need relationships. That's stupid.
These things are not mutually exclusive.
