As long as both can make clear educated decisions, I don't understand why people would be against couple with an age gap. Same could be said about any taboo (incest, etc.)

@musicfreak12 He's not a pedophile, he's an ephebophile (attracted to people between the ages of 15-19).

The MC has set his sights on grooming this teenage girl, huh?
I hope this manga ends with him in a prison cell.

@ColorlessBoy I literally said he wasn't malicious, doesn't mean he's not doing wrong.

I honestly wonder how many people could fall into this category, or something along those lines. I mean, if we could get the actual truth behind social facades.

Kisagari, please don't be doing what I think you're doing.
This is just going to get him into trouble and he already has enough stress in his life. And this time I don't think the Kouhai will save him.
The age of consent in where I live is 16. 15 if there's a former relationship. I don't know about the age of consent rules in that prefecture, but he'd legally be fine if he was where I lived. Even then he technically hasn't done anything illegal and has refused any and all sexual advances she's made. @Princess_Daphne @muteprophet8726
That's because before the modern era, getting married in your teens was the norm, due to shorter expected lifespans. It's still the norm in some countries that are low in human development. It's a semantic distinction, but a necessary one due to the distinction in the sexual maturity of someone who is in their late teens/someone who is a young adult and someone who is in their early teens. @musicfreak12
My hot take? MC has done nothing wrong. @ColorlessBoy @Deebees @Yggdrasil
He's not a saint, sure, but he's a man on his last legs in a society that's neglected him and his emotional needs whilst everyone around him tries to make him only care for them and their needs. The moment he gets that emotional support from someone, everyone looks down upon him for it. Hell, he's never done anything sexual with her, and has rejected any move that she's made on him. Koto is the instigator of the relationship, he's not the one who's manipulating anyone. Instead, he's just looking for someone who cares about him as a person and isn't using him as a means to an end.
Instead, Koto is the one prodding him to go along with her and to do these things, and even then he has put up barriers that make it so they don't cross the line. He doesn't care about sex, and I think that accusing him of pedophilia or sexual misconduct is not only wrong but character assassination. Considering she's in her late teens, I think it's fair to say that she's hit a point of maturity enough that she could determine for herself her own relationships. I think it's regressive to assume that if a man dates a woman younger than her that he's automatically the one who is in control and is manipulating her or is taking advantage of her in any sense when MC has clearly and consistently displayed the opposite and has never once taken advantage of her. So, yeah, MC has done nothing wrong in my eyes, and he's completely vindicated.

i'm trying to come up with a smart reply, but can't, lol
i do feel the same way though.
@Tamerlane
i like your analysis and take on this.
back 20+ years ago, when i was 18, the age of consent in Canada was 14, and guess how life turned out for me with my first gf. nowadays, ever since i dunno 2000 something, they changed it in a, IMHO, ridiculously restrictive fashion, something like 16yo being the age of consent, and no more than 2 years of difference between partners under 18.
