more reasons not to has kids for nipponjin...

Legal age of consent is also ridiculously young in japan so the office workers arent committing a crime.

each prefecture in japan has their own consent age
tokyo is 18.. it is a crime... should just legalize and tax it.

I did not mean it like said, bad choice of words from my side. It is more "accepted" as in they simply accept the existence of it and then try to hide it from the public eye while not actively trying to do anything against it.

Japanese have the same attitude about it than they have about homosexuality. Everyone knows it exists but as long as you don't talk nor do something about it, you can pretend it doesn't.

That's Japanese general behavior for anything problematic tbh, just slide it under the rug.

Same thing for bullying. Or sexual harassment. Or rape.

' ' I feel kinda... Wanna read more !!
It's totally better than Yurika's campus life ' ' not so drama, but not so weird.

What was that oneshot where MC was an adult prostitute who collected the money to pay off her debt or something like that, and her female lover accepted her as is, while her male clients all went: "I'd totally date you if you weren't a prostitute"? Also one male client left a bite mark.

LexXxich, I believe it's Time by Hayase Hashiba.

You're likely looking for Time. Although they don't actually specify the gender of the clients as I recall.

^nor why she do it...for fun?

It's implied it's for the money. It's nearly always about money.

And the woman is sad, because she thinks the same thing as some of the other clients : "I wish I had met you before you started doing this".

I don't know why there are almost always morality questioning over a whenever there is a story about a high-school character involving in sexual relationship with someone older. Is it just to take the moral high ground and feel good about it? It's just fictional, why does it matter whether it's legal or not

I means damn me, if every shounen manga discussion is filled with discussion about how wrong unprovoked assault and murder are. Or every romantic story is filled with the discussion of sexual harassment or misogynist. Or racism is discussed over every historical movie....

Actually.... now think about it, all of these do actually happen. Political correctness do run wild in modern age

It's not about the age gap. It's about money based relationships, ie, prostitution by any other name, that people are uneasy about.

None said anything about the morality of the age gaps?

Safe sex=happy sex. Thanks for the health education. We don't learn this in school. They only taught us not to touch any holes...pores/ears/nostrils/butt hole/ other holes...

Well, it was mentioned twice in the first comments by 2 different readers...
BTW. It does matter, the manga is about prostitution so talking about it or disagreeing is to be expected... Now acting surprised kind of piss me off, like people don't want to accept that part of the world and much less in their yuri.

I remember reading something like this a few months ago, a girl who worked at a flower shop and saved money to sleep with the girl she liked and then that girl did not want the money ?.

Relevant manga that goes deep into how it actually looks to work as prostitute in Japan

I feel conflicted after reading this. A story about child prostitution like it's something casual, part of the everyday life of high school girls. Yuri or not, legal or not, this is definitely not my cup of tea. I adore Tamamusi's work but this one kinda let me down.

japanese not interested in sex just a myth?

probably because casual acceptance and fetishization of depictions of statutory rape is pretty fucked up, and can lead to actual abuse of children. Enjoying fictional material is fine as long as you understand and acknowledge its effect on society.

what exactly are strawberries?

They're a small fruit. Since the plants are low to the ground and the berries easily go moldy in contact with the earth, I understand they used to lay down beds of straw under the plants, hence the name. They make good jam and various desserts.
What? That wasn't what you were asking, you say?

Ahhh, the whole prostitution thing is so tangled. I think there are actually a small minority of people for whom prostitution is a good choice--people who enjoy sex, and have emotional makeups that don't get hung up about it and don't take emotional damage from it and maybe like making people feel good, and stuff. But such people are few. And then there are far more people who do prostitution because they have no other viable choice, and it's moronic to get on their case, but it's one more of the many things pointing at the bedrock issue that nobody should be put in a position where the only choices they have are terrible, and we need to fix the system so nobody is victimized like that, whether it's prostitution or sweatshops or whatever.

And then there's this kind of thing like in the manga, which bugs me. Sure, I guess it's their choice--but I don't think most of these kids are happier because they did this. They are not from the small minority that doesn't take emotional harm from doing this kind of thing. It's just a bonehead move. They don't know themselves well, and they're encouraged to ignore themselves, and to think they are what they have, by the superficial consumerist culture they're in, and I just can't stop that awful cliched manga line from coming to my mind--"cherish yourself more!"

None of this necessarily stops a story with prostitution in it from being a good story. We'll see about this one. I thought "Not for sale" was pretty cute.

Enjoying fictional rape doesn't make anyone into rapist if they weren't going to turn into one in the first place. Also why you talking about rape in thread of manga that have voluntary prostitute as protagonist?

the gay for pay tag it means that in exchange for money x character would sleep with the same gender right?
Does the gay for pay tag still apply if mc possibly isnt straight?

That's what happens when collectivism and traditionalism are two of the core concepts of your society; nobody wants to go against the group to change or fix anything and society/"the group" never wants to fix anything cause it would go against tradition, so everyone just ignores it. They lost a war because of this nonsense (that and the fact they tried to challenge a sleeping giant but even that was because many Japanese higher ups legitimately thought Yamato-Damaishii (Japanese Spirit) made them invincible, so blame you can blame tradition again.)

Because statutory rape is still considered rape even if the victim consented beforehand.

Statutory rape is having sex with an underaged person who isn't a preteen (thats child rape) in other words it is having sexual relations with a teenager who hasn't yet reached the age of consent (which is 16 in most parts of the world)

In Canada, even 16 comes with requirements. Not being a relative of course, and the young person not depending on the elder financially in any way, and the elder not being in a position of authority over the young person. Which rules out probably most situations.
