I know, I'm playing with the idea, who hasn't fell in love here?

Who here is between the ages of 5-10?

Wait...there are people here who aren't between the ages of 5-10?

There are tweens here?

...I need an adult.

Considering this is a lolicon thread, you might be safer with the tweens.

Nope. The wood carving of a bear catching a salmon is an Hokkaido typical souvenir.

I just realized the age gap isn't that big; it seems big because one was 13yo while the other is highschool girl. When you add >5 years into their age, suddenly it seems.... normal.

no, yuzumori isn't 13 she's like 9.

Mimika is like seven years older at least. Which you know with enough time isn't too big of a deal but at those ages it kinda is

That's something I keep thinking, there's this whole thing about how Mimika will keep loving the person that is Yuzumori, but what happens when Yuzumori changes who that person is? She hasn't even started puberty yet, which has enormous effects on personality. Little kids become almost entirely new people, with entirely different priorities and interests. Heck, even adults change a lot over time, if slower, and we're talking a kid who's going to live almost her entire lifespan over again before she even hits 18. The difference is all but guaranteed to be enormous. Would she even want that relationship any more when she "puts away childish things"?

Not that I expect the series to get into any of that, and basically treat Yuzumori like "Mimika's equal, but smol". But that's the writer brain for you, implications and alternate angles prey on you.

That's definitely a big thing. It'd be nice to see Yuzumori-san get into that but I understand that it probably won't.

I'm also very interested in how sexual things will be handled. Cuz like that's complicated. I tend to project so maybe it wasn't the same for others but when I was Yuzumori's age I couldn't have understood sex or anything even if someone explained it to me. It was just something I couldn't parse. Looking at things from that perspective, I kinda hope Yuzumori isn't interested in sex stuff. You can still have her try and pursue those things from the angle of her trying to be more mature than she is and also wanting a way of sort of tying Mimika to her but I like the idea that she's just not ready to understand any of that stuff. I think that would show an important awareness on the author's part.

Like I think Yuzumori-san can still be an enjoyable manga even if that stuff isn't the case but I guess I'd like it to be smarter in that way and I think it has the potential to be that smart of a manga.

Yeah, loads of really interesting stuff that could be touched on, whether you include sex in the package or not. Sex is certainly lurking in the background though, given it is loli genre. Loli with a penchant for deconstruction though, which opens the door for actually addressing thorny issues in a relatively light manner. I'm pretty sure this is an author who could handle that challenge.

Whether they do or not is a good question. Again, I'm not really expecting it or insisting they do.

There's nothing in here that shows any hint of yandere. I'm not sure where people keep getting this idea. Possibly people are reading something into the English that isn't in the Japanese because the translation couldn't convey the entire meaning of the Japanese?

Yuzumori is describing the feeling that her heart is becoming so full of Mimika and she's scared of herself and how much this feeling is taking her over. She's scared that her feelings are taking her over and she wants to stay with Mimika so much she doesn't know how to deal with it. Basically, or its getting there anyway. No Yandere.

気がつかないうちに、心の中がこんなにもみみかでいっぱいになってて、時々こわくてたまらなくなる。

Alternate TL: Without realizing it, my heart has become filled with [thoughts of] Mimika, and sometimes [how overcome I am by Mimika] scares me.

Specifically, in the Japanese the "being scared" is a chain verb on the concept of nounization of "being filled with Mimika" and it being unbearable is connected to both of those, the fear and being filled up with Mimika are unbearable.

As for the age, I am baffled too, because normally in Yuri we want the main couple to be together and kiss etc.
But this is just a no to me for the ages they are now.
Also if this was het and Mimika a guy, wouldn't it make things more awkward when he would want to touch Yuzumiri, just like Mimika feels now?

Anyway, I'm not complaining or anything, I find the story cute but I really prefer them staying like this for the time being.

...some stuff happens, then...
"-Don't go..."
squeeze
"I'm not going anywhere.
"It's all right,
"Because we're together."
(dreaming)
"Don't go.
"Don't go off and leave me."
"I'm not going anywhere."
(wakes up)
...some more stuff happens...

I'd say that's pretty strong stuff.

This is the litmus test I use for yuri. If the protagonist (or love interest) were male, would I still agree with their decisions? Would I still be interested in what they're doing? Would it still be a good story?

In many cases, I can confidently say "No. Definitely not," but, honestly, I don't really care beyond just the acknowledgment that I'm a huge hypocrite. Take yuri incest, for example. I sure am glad that YuruYuri's Akane got gender-swapped because I would not want to read a story with an incestuous older brother. But... since it's an incestuous older sister, it's all good. Same goes for Candy Boy or... well, this thing.

That's why I'm so hung up on this. If Mimika had the same character, made the same decisions, and simply had her gender flipped, I would still think it's an incredibly compelling story. Hell, I'd still support his relationship with Yuzumori as it currently stands. But that support would crumble the moment he crosses the line, and I put the same onus on female Mimika.

A lot of people rooting for the story now, the ones egging on a sexual encounter between the main couple, would ever give boy!Mimika a drop of sympathy.
