Bruh

 

[Echion]

why do we have to do this every time...

 

[UdenEmpati]

to be fair, there is a drama tag. Though I did hope the author would simply ignore the tag.

It's actually been so long since I bothered checking for this title that I'd forgotten that tag was there.

And if there was going to be drama involving an ojou-sama-like heroine story like this, it would be arranged marriage stuff.

Though the exact nature of the "suitor" still irks me (just asking his dad to arrange a marriage to a minor he saw dancing once???), but I'll acquiesce to the tags foreshadowing where the plot will go.

Literal child or pedophile?

Legal marriage age for girls in Japan is 16, if all parties including the parents agree to it. Age of consent varies more, and generally not accepted below 18.

 

[Parnifia]

Every other story about a rich girl has to have this development for cheap drama, evidently.

 

[zHIST]

Author really went "I'm bored, time for some manufactured drama"

Manga authors are so bad at fucking writing. Like this is the most blatant, cheapest and most unnecessary bullshit ever. Wish the author an axe for their serialisation so they write their next story with more thought.

Let me clarify, I'm not even mad about the fact that every story with these type of characters has the arranged marriage bs, it's overdone, boring and never has a good payoff, but whatever I'm sure we're used to it.
But the fucking way the author decided to do it is almost fucking comical lol. They can still be redeemed by providing a quick resolution, but man...

bruh

 

[RobDog]

Ah yes, forgot there's a drama tag on this. Thought it woulda been just their backstory but no.

 

[TinsleyNocturnal]

Ew... specificing her age as a high school student means he's older than that. Call Chris Hansen again!

 

[ilovehome1230987]

Probably a pedo . Because he said that he acknowledges that she is a high school student probably means that he’s older . Or younger .

[GIN_8_6_]

I'm looking forward to their amusement park date

 

[Heika]

Ah yes, instead of y'know making an effort in winning her love lets just force her to marry me

Have you seen the Japanese dating scene? Asking for an arranged marriage is 10x more proactive than the average Japanese man for the last 15 years

 

[Ravinous]

Ah, I see they needed something to separate themselves from the other "Cute but distant to others female neighbor falls in love with me due to proximity and takes care of me in comfy safe romance" genre that has been trending lately. Seems this is the low stakes "Drama" they are going with.

 

[canalnoodle]

If the author wanted drama, he could pull out a childhood friend from his ass.
Instead we get some pedo loser who need help from his father to pick up underage girls.
Fuck off.

 

[buntbackspace]

A businessman will "think about" throwing away his business's reputation by arranging a formal marriage meeting between his likely-an-adult-and-maybe-heir son and a high school girl. Am I reading this story correctly?

 

[Kreate]

Time for the forced obligatory aranged marriage subplot that exist in practically every single one of these kinds of stories.

 

[BanzaiYuri]

Oh, of course, just when this couldn't get more generic by "the first date being an amusement park" they just had to have the arranged marriage antagonist. Why exactly would the father ever agree to this when he's the one to tell her to "live life with no regrets" (even if it ends the business rivalry)?

 

[Shinigamisama]

Get lost bro. She's already taken (I mean seriously, how are these two still not official? They're just hugging and going on dates at this point.)

 

[kamentierr]

Aaand the classic, cucked by arranged marriage, drama.
