Nope, because nothing in this chapter seemed remotely sexual. This is just straight up human instinct to want to kiss cute things. Same thing as when people kiss the top of their dog’s head or when people kiss baby’s cheeks, hands, or feet. They don’t want to f*** them. They just want to kiss the cute thing.
Two things:
1) From what I understand, the artist's fanbox has onee-shota art of these characters. So the implication is definitely still there.
2) The reddit link to this chapter on r/manga got removed by reddit themselves, so at least someone disagrees with you.

The mangaka has a fanbox? I don't see one on any of their socials, even the "secret" accounts he has for the select few R18 images.

Well then those people just have disgusting minds. Because not one single panel of this felt sexual to me. It felt purely maternal.

This manga was always borderline pedo, we all get the genre (women on shotas -> good, men on lolis -> bad) -- but there should always be some deniability, a thread it should walk on, and this one started taking a step away from that thread. Bad vibes.
it's getting bad vibes but I doubt it's going farther, not till a time skip of some kind

True, but this series has been onee shota from the first chapter

Well, yeah, obviously. The entire point is to be "on the nose". The prob with this chap is that it was a tad bit too much, lel.

If you see something remotely sexual in this half chapter, that sounds like a "you" problem.

“Onee shota” just means big sister younger brother. It’s not inherently sexual unless the reader thinks of it as sexual
it's an inherently romantic pairing trope, which often leads into more sexual situations. That's the genre, it's not the reader.

After checking their pixiv, it's the author reading this as sexual. You're deluding yourself if you think this series is going to stay wholesome

I never said it’s going to stay wholesome. I said nothing in this chapter was anything but wholesome. If she had kissed him on the lips, then I’d say it wasn’t wholesome. But she kissed him the way people kiss babies (i.e. cheeks and the top of the head)

Thanks for the chapter man.
I hope it won't get abandonned this time, not only is it a cool story with nice art, but it also makes the puritans seethe lmao.

...no, seriously, how is Seven Seas trying to publish this in the States (the likely poor localization aside)? It's no Kodomo no Jikan, sure, but it's obvious that the mangaka is tip-toing the line of "wholesome" and "lewd" onee/shota, as if to troll the reader-- even the average American reader would be able to pick up on that.

...I mean, people who do onee/shota aren't married to that guideline. It's usually full tilt sexual harassment at the hands of the older female, or some degree of ironic reversal-- and whatever popularity the genre enjoys is because it's hitting those men who fantasize about being irresistably taken advantage of by a woman in a superior position (or otherwise dominating a woman despite his inferior position). In fact, this manga's peculiar in that the mangaka chose to adopt the strategy you're talking about.

That aside, I'm 99.99% sure that stuff like this has already happened in past chapters. It's already a given that they sleep in the same bed, so it's implied that stuff like this has happened in the past.

Compelling argument.

Counterpoint: it's Reddit.

...I don't even care about what's being argued-- it's Reddit, we don't need to care about it.
