For those wondering and haven't made the connection yet. "Hoshi-kun" is that bleached hair delinquent who's part of that manga club Senko frequents sometimes in her own manga. ^.- The guy who's jealous of Takamura-san.
(Seems to me Hoshi-kun got the better end of the deal, but y'know)
@Mnuchinboo Not really, Japan has one of the low-est consent ages worldwide. 13 years old, However, many prefectures also have local "corruption of minors" or "obscenity statutes"which raise the de-facto age of consent to 16-18 . Even if he was 15 and they live in a region with an 18+ consent age, there is an exception. And the exception is, "IF the parents of the minor give the minor permission for that relationship" And in the past chapter. The dad said that it was OK for them to fuck. They are in the clear. They can fuck and no statutory rape can be filed againt Eruko because the guy has the minimun age, parental permision, and he gave concent.
@Mnuchinboo 1. This is a manga, I don't give a fuck even if it was a 40 year old dude and a 14 year old girl. This is fiction.
2. this is an entire different culture of which I don't have much information. I don't know where their train of taught came to be and I don't care
3.it's legal in the context of the contry.
4. We have shows like berserk, Hellsing, devil man, goblin slayer ETC. This is one of the tamer things out there, If you want to fight against stuff like this, then go to the real world once the quarantine is done instead of talking about a picture of two fake "humans" fucking in a pirate site in which you're also committing a crime
Poor someone who doesn't even know how to distinguish between fantasy and real life.
And telling people it's a crime and blah blah blah
Dood, u just read a fuckin manga in an illegal website
So just STFU and enjoy it
You don't like it, don't read it
@Mnuchinboo as long as there is consent yeah, he seems to be mature enough for the relationship and is willing to listen to his partner, and she despite being a pervert is not taking advantage of his over eagerness even putting in norms and rules to be followed so that they can have a healthy bond with each other, they are both conscious and aware of what they want and how to proceed about it while considering the feelings and position of each other, so this is one of the very rare cases in which i do think it is fine.
This scenario is only possible because this is fiction tho, in real life, of course i would be completely skeptical of this, in real life she would 100% be taking shameless advantage of him, because such an ideal scenario doesn't even happens with adults, that they somehow manage to reach a point of mutual understatement and equality is the fantasy that his manga is selling.
jeez, now this is hitting the too far for non H and the wrong of a 16/17 year old and 27 year old. at leaest 16/17 and 23 fits the half your age plus 6, this is close, but 2-3 years off
