Author-san why the blood relation man. WHY. Ugh I love this manga but now it’s gonna feel gross everytime I spot this girl in some panel out of the corner of my eye. I hope this is the end of her character development & she just becomes some side/gag gf that they bring out once every 10 chapters or so.

I said that the age gap was far from the only problem. In my first comment on this chapter I specifically highlighted the cousins part as the disturbing thing.
The thing is, you also shouldn't underestimate the issue with sprouting romantic feelings with a 12 year old (possibly younger) girl, and then accepting them as a soul-mate. Even if it was only that, I'd be starkly against it and consider Chiyo to be the worst addition to the roster.
@Gnomishness US statistics show that ~5% of teens have had sex before being 13 year old... Kids be dating and fucking.
As far as Japan is concerned, I believe it's something like:
Age of girlfriend (12 or 13) = legal given that Rentarou is also a minor
Difference in age when Rentarou becomes an adult while Chiyo is still a minor = legal with parental approval
Cousins = legal
@parkourse Be ready because there's gonna be some super niche girls if we are to reach 100, remember he already use the 'hyper masochist girlfriend' card too.
