This genuinely needs a lolicon tag

I would recommend blacklisting "older than she looks".

Needs an older than she acts tag too then

That feels possibly redundant, but I suppose lol

My suggestion was only that if people are made uncomfortable by the MC here that blacklisting the mentioned tag would help them avoid further discomfort.

Ruka is tiny

Okay, if this was their first meeting, the "Sakura is a Yakuza princess" theory becomes unlikely. I don't think they'd let her run free like that without a bodyguard.

Also, Saaya casually asked somebody she must have assumed to be a child for her number "to know her better".

Letting her roam around like a completely normal civilian can technically work.
Hiding in plain sight and all

You know, I'm not into the romance of this exactly but this is really making me understand the healing power of cuteness. Sakura is so adorable I can't help but keep reading

Sakura is too dumb to look for her backpack in the last place she was?

Maybe she shouldn't be allowed to roam around on her own.

Can someone take care of this lost child? Also, how does Sakura keep pulling all these baddies while we're over here STARVING in the streets?

i'm running out of ways to defend saaya

scott pilgrim reference!!!1! (this is a moment where fictional characters thought processes seem… Alien. how old did you think she WAS when you started- ack ech grumbl etc. this does present an even weirder middleground for the series in general- looks and acts like a kid is not a kid but is not an adult and strictly speaking is not NOT a kid either? lmao. i’d’ve preferred it if she was like 23 or something for simplicity-of-gimmick’s sake, morality issues aside xp, but hey)

The soul searching over her being 17 feels very very frigging funny given everything leading up to finding that out

Sakura's younger than I thought, I was under the assumption she was in her early 20s (unless this flashback sequence takes place a good few years prior??) As rudtud said, hard to keep defending Saaya >.<

Because she doesn't need defending, of course

Ruka and Chiharu might have a different opinion.

Cute

Whatever you say man

This melted my heart. Guess Sakura's stunted mental growth can be attributed to not having parental figures present during childhood :<

It’s technically not grooming in Japan

Saaya carrying around an entire glass bottle of perfume in her purse is just really funny to me.

Yeah it's clunky to carry around lol

It may have been her plan to gift it all along. Then again, Saaya isn't that smooth. At least not intentionally.

Cute

"Sakura will teach them a lesson"

What kind of lessons will a yakuza princess put them through.

Help!!! I need GLP-1 meds immediately or else I’ll slip into a diabetic coma from this sugary sweet chapter

This manga is getting sweeter and sweeter.
