Lock On - Ch. 11

[Kurovah]

That envelope is now a family heirloom
I wonder what's in the letter though, probably words of encouragement

This is the 1st chapter where I've kind of agreed with the grooming accusations that flooded the 1st few chapters

Fixed the image, if it helps your confusion.

 

[Eighty-six]

Instead of he grooming her, we get her "grooming?" him

It's a viable strategy for writing age gap-- make the adult so naive and/or incompetent that they're more likely to be groomed by a child, than the other way around.

The older the minor is, the more smoothly it goes down for the audience.

You guys are assuming that he wrote a love letter to her, when given his already demonstrated denseness and upstanding behavior, his letter was most certainly just a very professional "thank you" where he acts more or less like a school teacher giving advice and praise to a star student in their class in response to said student taking a great effort to demonstrate how much they respect and admire the teacher for what they've done to them.

Oh sure, she would see it as little to no different from an actual love letter, but most people wouldn't bat an eye.

The issue is that even if his letter was completely innocent (and I’m sure it was) it can still be perceived as improper by giving her hope. It encourages her to continue to approach him as a romantic interest.

Imagine if he was a bad adult and this was just step 1 of 10 in his plan to abuse her. It might look exactly the same, right? His intention is irrelevant unfortunately. It’s just how it could potentially be perceived, especially because he’s a cop.

she must be killing it in English class

edit: oh wait, it'd be Japanese huh

Let just use "literature"

 

[mangeenthusiast]

It feels like he should be putting the cuffs on himself here doesn’t it?

I know it's supposed to cute and innocent but do NOT exchange love letters with an Elementary schooler on VALENTINE'S DAY. 😭😭😭😭

This is the 1st chapter where I've kind of agreed with the grooming accusations that flooded the 1st few chapters

Uh, he gave her a letter as a "return gift" for White Day (March 14th), which is a day in Japan where men who received a gift on Valentines Day give a return gift. If he sees her around that much, then I wouldn't see why he wouldn't write a "thank you" letter in a "how cute, I'll respect this kid's innocent feelings" kinda way.

It doesn't really help that he's depicted as the same age after like 10 years though. You'd think he'd have a few wrinkles or a grey hair or two.

I think he’s only 30. Maybe he joined the force fresh out of highschool.

I bet you they still have the letters
