I wonder if her age is in cat years or something? Like imagine she is WAY older? I would think so since there was a scene of him as a kid with a cat. Also, bro is mad handsome and his coworkers cannot believe he has a good lookin relative? lol

Just one example off the top of my head is "The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten" but any time were the guy thinks or says the girl is being to vulnerable or open or defenseless around him. Also coincides with him saying "I am a guy you know"I've never seen this kind of "trope" before, so...

Why do all these wholesome romance manga feel the need to needlessly introduce a stupid age gap? Kinda ruins the experience for me personally. Happens so often within the genre…

I knew I recognize the art style. It's the same author of "The Cutest Girl Closest to Me". It also has age-gap but the girl is the one that's older.

I agree, this MC is really unbearable. I'm trying to read past it, but him having zero spine whatsoever and the manga beating the "she's a cat... BUT ALSO A HUMAN! GET IT?!?! HAHAHA" joke got old fast. Its such a shame, this author has amazing art but can't write MC's worth shit.

…some of ya’ll are actually worried about the age of a fictional girl who can turn into a cat?
Because we don't want to root for a pedophilic protagonist and relationship? Because a protagonist being a pedophile makes them unlikable? Is something wrong with your head?
Because we don't want to root for a pedophilic relationship or protagonist -.- And being a pedophile would make him unlikable. So now we sure as well don't want the MC to touch her whatsofuckingever. How is that so hard to understand?

Do you even understand what a pedophile is? Does this cat girl look like a little girl to you? She would have to be at least 12 for that to make sense, and not to mention she looks like a grown ass women (and possibly old as hell in cat years lmao)
What are you even waffling about?
Idc if he ends up having a relationship with her because she’s NOT REAL.
If you wanna be a pearl clutcher over something pointless, then be my guess. You will have a hard time enjoying lots of manga out there in that case, the rest of us will simply read on and not be bothered over trivial things like the age of literal fictional cat girl.

There’s nothing wrong with with their head, you’re just being ignorant.
It’s fine if you don’t like age gap, but please refrain from insulting people like this because of your ignorance and inability to process taboo fiction like a reasonable human being.
It's funny how you throw the word ignorant around while not even using it properly and while being completely ignorant of Japanese culture.
You do know that these types of comics come from a country that has a huge obsession with youth and constantly overly sexualizes minors, right? For example, did you know that the agency of an idol that was still in middle school was selling special tickets that allowed FULLY GROWN ADULTS to sleep in the same bed as her?
How about the fact that public transport molestation has become such a huge problem that they now have trains for WOMEN ONLY? I even have a friend there who legit told me she can't count the amount of times she got her chest and butt groped on public transport over the years. And there was even once where a dude that was masturbating next to her, and so she had to sit next to old ladies to get him to stop.
Don't forget how half of the hentai genre has underage girls (and a lot of times prepubescent) getting brutally raped?
Ffs there was even that incident where a head of women's rights activists was making a speech and then some asshole during Q&A time asked: "shouldn't you be at home raising children?" My friend even had a friend in japan that, when asking a professor about university courses, the professor answered "it doesn't matter since you're going to be a housewife anyway."
Lmao the low birthrates there are mainly due to women not wanting relationships because of the stupid social pressures on mothers. Being a mother essentially means your career is dead because they view mothers that work as fkin devils, so 33% of working women end up quitting their jobs and becoming housewives.
No shit this is just fiction, it doesn't need to be said yet idiots like you always use it as a stupid argument.
The sexualization of minors being VERY POPULAR AND COMMON in their fictional media is very reflective of their culture, lmao. Now you have manga authors being arrested for things like importing child pornography or admitting interest in elementary school girls.
This is fucking fiction, right? So was there a NEED to make the FMC 17 and make it a RULE that CAT GIRLS NEED TO HAVE SEX BEFORE BECOMING ADULTS in order to maintain their human form? The author can write ANYTHING, yet he CHOSE to make that plotline. Why? Most likely because so many love to fetishize these types of romances (ffs the MC is in his fucking 30s). Either that, or because that shit is popular in Japan and the poor mangaka needs to make his living.

People Whining Over Fiction. SMH
Everyone joking about MC's going to jail and forgetting that there is also another person deserves jail time in this chapter, whoever was using Discord lightmode in the credits page. I fine with lightmode anywhere else but on Discord? Get that shite out of here.

Alright I take back what I said last chapter about her. Now the age gap is what's bothering me. At least if he was it his early 20's 😤

Oh she isn't a catgirl, she's a were-cat - that makes so much more sense.

The age of consent is set by prefecture, IIRC. He’s probably in a place where the age of consent is 18
To be American-centric for a moment, I don’t get why people wave around 18 like an immutable standard when, last I checked, states that set that standard are a minority. Not to mention all the disturbing bylaws in which emancipation or parents’ permission make it legal for an adult to fuck their 13-year-old spouse.
anyway, my point is that laws are arbitrary, there’s no appreciable difference between 17 and 18, and the only eminently justifiable hard limit is 21.
