Gotta love how the comment section is always full of respectable law abiding citizens.
If its a serious series about killing or mass murders, well, its just fiction, right? Nothing wrong here, keep going. We might even cheer on the killer if he is a cool MC. But if its a comedy about a dude picking up a loli, then lets ignore this being fiction and go to the comment section to make it clear how immoral i think all this is. If this was set in another world where she wasnt "an elemetary schooler", then it would be fine?
I mean, i've read series about kids that age killing other people and i dont remember reading comments about how dare the author write something like that. Or series where children the age of this girl are working, and i also dont remember any comment about child labour... Sexualization of children? Sure, like any other series where minors are depicted with boobs twice as big as they should be. So?
I dont really get where exactly you people draw the line of what is ok in fiction or what isnt, but it sure as fuck doenst sound logic to me.

@ReeeMam They are different or you feel they are different?
I mean, the whole Naturo series setting is about countries training 12yo child soldiers to spy, kill or sabotage, but since they are ninjas no one cares. But if in a comedy manga a dude tells a mom in an OBVIOUS comedy setting that since she rejected him he is gonna aim at her 12yo daughter, everyone gets freaking triggered.
Dunno people, sounds like bullshit to me.

@Tearsax Long reply so putting in spoiler tags. And I'll add in advance that anything I say is all just my opinion and not objective truth.
It's about context and presentation. In most series someone going on a killing spree or committing mass murder or genocide is always presented as an immoral act, and we are always aware of that. The characters may feel like they are doing nothing wrong or justify it or even enjoy it but either it will be presented in a way that the readers will realize that this is just something the characters are doing and not something being shown to be morally correct, or at least in the story there will enough context to justify whatever act of violence characters commit.
Here in the manga (the sexualisation of a child) is not being portrayed in a way that makes that distinction. The daughter suggested a guy should touch her breasts (in a clearly sexual way) in front her mother and the mother's response is don't let it happen so easily? And the guy is clearly fantasizing about her daughter and she says don't get carried away and marriage is still on the table? And that is funny to you? I haven't read a lot of series where people kill each other for jokes but from what I've seen there's usually a punchline or satire and commentary or it happens in a ridiculous way, the killing someone part is not the joke. Here the sexualisation is being presented not as a joke but just a part of the usual hijinks. I honestly would not care a bit about this issue if this was straight up hentai because I have context for what they are going for, here it just makes me question the author's morality. It is kind of distasteful, they could have made the daughter older (honestly personality wise she seems older) or presented her in a cutesy (and non sexual) way.
Also in real life a kid killing someone is possible but it is so rare and far fetched in people's mind that no one will have trouble separating fact and fiction. But sexual exploitation of children, grooming, child marriages etc is a problem that is too real and may hit too close to home. It could be happening anywhere, it could have happen to someone you know, so it's a more touchy subject. Think about Fire force, a series about people combusting into flames spontaneously and other fire based disasters and it was airing with no problem, but while it was airing the Kyoani fire happened and they pulled it off air (don't remember how long but one or more weeks) and made changes because those things became too real in people's mind.
My main point is not that you are wrong but that people may have many logical reasons to draw the line here and have problems with this series.
