@eruannazacharias77
I heard that Harta magazines features a short story involving the characters in each cover. My guess is that it would probably be in Harta Magazine n°38.
Take this with a grain of salt, though. I don't know if that's actually true or if you'll even find it in n°38.

The art is really nice looking...aaaaaaand that's the only nice thing I have to say here. Seriously this is creepy as fuck. Big part is the guys design.

Historically people have been engaged at a young age, and have already been married at Himekos age.

The relationship between these two characters seem pretty innocent, because they are just engaged and not married.

So please stop with this bullshit in the comments, there is literally kiddy @@@@ on this site, yaoi with underaged characters and main stream series that all have underage children doing farm more than the characters in this manga. Some manga series are even having underaged girls posing sexual on covers etc. So spare me the "outrage".

Go somewhere else to part poopers.

For people thinking this is some bizarre Japanese thing, google Eunice Johns.

 

[Biscuitta]

A little shocked that she's this young but please remember it's historical so this was more excepted back in the day and the manga is always platonic as can be and doesn't go into creepy territory

 

[Tersione]

Can I make the police travel through time and arrest someone in the past? Fictional universe notwithstanding.

Also, this dude lookin' high with that dank kush.

 

[Queen_of_Romantics]

I honestly find this cute. Besides they are engaged and during that time period some girls were already having children at that age. It was the norm. But you can tell he’s waiting for her to grow up some more since they both agree she is not an adult. He kisses her yes but is not taking advantage of her. Besides there is worse stuff on this website. Go take all the preaching over to the disgusting hentai section with children who probably aren’t even in there preteens yet.

 

[hina_sw]

I think the chapter 1 from Google TL scans is pretty cute, but the oneshots were a little much. Understandable given the historical context though. Hopefully the relationship stays platonic until she's a little older.

Back when men were expected to be lolicons, but were actually closet shotacons.

 

[greatninja3]

I don’t understand people sometimes when its loli x oji-san they rate it 1/10 but when its shota x ara ara they rate it 10/10.

They go hope it stays non sexual but then for the other one they go make bebes already

Double standards much

I am laughing so hard right now. So many comments bashing this and yet YOU ALL read it. The cover alone can tell you the main couple. Hell the first few pages can tell you that and yet you read it and are now complaining about it.

If you look at history you can see that this is normal. In fact Bunchi is being a pure gentleman compared to others. He's not having sex with her, he's not touching her breasts or any other inappropriate place, they haven't undressed at all (taking his hat off doesn't count), he's not picturing her naked, and he's not making innuedo. The most he did was kiss her. That's it. Go into the hentai section of ANY manga site and you will find at least 1-3 mangas on the first page that will have a girl Himeko's age doing things like sex, masturbation, etc. and NO ONE bats an eyelash at it.

An older guy sweetly kissing his younger fiancee, yeah no, that seems to get everyone up in arms. *rolls eyes*

On the historical part. Please look up any society in the last two hundred years or more and you will see that this is normal. I'm not kidding you. Also be glad that they have romance. In the Taisho period, marriages were not arranged for romance but to continue the line. In fact, romance was considered essentially taboo during that time period of Japan. According to the wikipedia page on Japanese marriage

"Boys and girls were separated in schools, in cinemas, and at social gatherings. Colleagues who began a romantic relationship could be dismissed, and during the Second World War traveling couples could be arrested. Parents sometimes staged an arranged marriage to legitimize a "love match," but many others resulted in separation and sometimes suicide. Love was thought to be inessential to marriage."

It wasn't until after WWII that they made a law saying you could marry for love. So try not to scoff or put down this love because the age difference is big. It wouldn't be considered "wrong" in society now if she was 18 (36 for him I think) because the age difference would be the same no matter how old she is.

[marcyvq]

[CuddleStruggle]

Noice! Back in the time when Japan was a cool place and men were actual Men of Culture, instead of soyboy feminist apologists.

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@Ada @greatninja3 @RedHimiko18 Definitely agree
