Why doesn't he just try to adopt her properly???

Honestly, it feels like anime and manga sometimes over complicates things for no reason...

If they explain the situation to the authorities, he could apply to be her actual guardian. It might take time, but at least he won't be known as a pervert.....

I assume the issue is that Yuri might not be available for adoption, plus neither of them is really good at this whole arrangement: he's clueless about being a parent, let alone a foster parent, and she's just a kid caught in the middle of all this. Not to mention the fact that he's being overworked, even for a very slowly recovering workaholic, so I can see how he would basically miss the forest for the trees. Lastly, we've been shown multiple times that he can come across as extremely suspicious just from the circumstances alone, especially versus a mother that hasn't actually given up her child.

I do hope the topic of adoption comes up. He's still convinced that this is a more temporary arrangement than it actually is, and she would hate to be any more of a burden than she already is on him, so I'm sure they would be reluctant to broach it but we all know that it's the right thing to do in this case so that he can truly be the kind of safe person to her that he is trying to be.

Yuri has a living mother and possibly living father, so under Japanese law what the gov't would first do is drag either (or both) of them to the Ward Office to instruct them to pick her back up. In the case of proven child abandonment the gov't would then take her under protection (usually, but not always, in an orphanage). The best case scenario would be to have her stay with a volunteer foster family approved and vetted by the government. In fact, given her age, usually this stay would only last until she enters high school, at which point the Ward system would have allowed her to start living alone while the gov't collected her living expenses from her living parents. She would also have been allowed to work to earn her own keep, at least partially. In case both parents are unable to support her financially, the gov't would supplement her income from Ward system. Adoption would not be necessary.

Even in the case of a biological uncle offering to adopt, the parents must sign a bunch of paperwork to agree to adoption, then other living members of the family, starting from grandparents and aunts, would be considered before the uncle is even allowed to proceed. The uncle would only be considered if no alternative family member exists or all potential guardians have declined. Even so, the government would likely attempt to offer financial help for raising the child before moving to the next-in-line. There would be an assessment of the uncle's family (it is STRONGLY EXPECTED that he'd be married). There would be a period of at least one year of observation where the uncle('s family) would be required to demonstrate the ability to take care of a minor while the minor spends minimal time in the expected new home, and another year of probation/adjustment where the child would be allowed to start living with the uncle('s family) during which rather intrusive inspections by social workers would be the norm. A single male living alone would usually fail the first step by default, even if he's the biological uncle. It is basically impossible for an older, unmarried, unrelated male to adopt her.

I dont really get why it is categorized as erotica. aside from the out-of-place scene with the boss lady, this is standard "loner becoming a father" type manga.
I thought she was going to be yandere but nope, this is all wholesome
