you have to suspend disbelief to believe that a romantic relationship between an elementary schooler and a high schooler could be sweet and not exploitive and gross. suspend disbelief to believe that a high schooler who would date an elementary schooler and is a lolicon would try so hard to keep their relationship pure and not letting her sexual appetite surface.

i love yuzumori. its a great comic for a lot of reasons. and i think it handles its subject matter well. i also just dont think i could suspend my disbelief enough to appreciate the good things about it if mimika were a boy.

I get you. For me, their relationship so far requires zero suspension of disbelief, but it certainly would if Yuzumori or Mimika took things much further. Probably different people require different levels of suspension of disbelief depending on their tolerance for the subject matter. Even Hoshikawa Ginza District 4 was a little hard to believe at some points, on account of never knowing any 13-year-olds like that.

The new one is out (well, in batoto)
This is death by sugar... Really, is so cute like a room full of hamsters.
Gravitational field lol

The woman who did Kodomo no Jikan tried to explain that Rin is troubled and that's why she's "precocious." I actually found the other main character suddenly turning down Houin-sensei (who's pretty, stacked, loving, fun-loving and generally perfect) because he's had the epiphany that he's really in love with little Rin the hard part to believe. Since Rin's troubling, unchildlike behavior was flagged by everyone as troubling, unchildlike behavior.

Can't even pull a double quarter circle with a fightstick? What a dirty casual, Mimika deserves better

sweet milk

Uh... it's lovely but I don't think that they love each other the same way... Mimika loves Yuzu-chan in a sexual way, but Yuzu-chan loves Mimika because she wants someone to be at her side, like an older sister figure? I mean, of course, kids in Yuzumori's age RARELY develop sexual atraction to (or wanting sexual pleasure from) other people... I said rarely 'cause there are many cases in which happens (me included, my sexuality started when I was eleven I think?).

AFAIK it's really not uncommon for 10 / 11 / 12-year olds or even younger to want that kind of pleasure from others. I was that way and I knew at least a few other kids who were the same, leading to a couple of pseudo-sexual experiences in elementary school. My friend who has a degree in psychology (with courses in child development, etc.) told me it's more common than people tend to believe.

I think it is somewhat rare for them to want pleasure from older people though, oftentimes it's from other kids their own age (though Yuzumori doesn't seem to identify with her peers at all, which might explain it).

Hm let's uh, I dunno, say, the faintest hint of lavender or some frilly shit like that why not

Yuzumori hasn't expressed any sexual attraction or sexual interest so I think for the time being its safe to say that she's not reached that stage of development. I do worry that Yuzumori will get pulled aside by a teacher for the things she's written about spending summer with Mimika. That is a very real possibility. Mimika's attraction to Yuzumori is sexual but it's also more than that. She clearly experiences emotional attraction to Yuzumori as well. Whether that would remain as Yuzumori grows up and changes is hard to speculate on.

I know people who developed sexual feelings really young but nothing about Yuzumori has parsed that way yet. So I think she wouldn't really /get/ sexual things. Not in a meaningful way, tho she might go along with them if Mimika asked because she loves Mimika a lot and is afraid of losing her. Mimika probably knows this on some level and part of her restraint is not acting on that knowledge.

Another cute chapter. <3

So she smells like Shio-chan :D

Also, I know the chapter ended on a happy note but ow...

I'm pretty sure of all the things she might smell like, she assuredly doesn't smell like dude.

I don't think a teacher would be too concerned in this case pretty much exclusively because while Mimika is a teenager she's a teenage GIRL so if anything it comes off more as a kind of role model relationship than anything untoward.

Lavender. Its a very soft smell, perfect for Yuzumori-san.

...is it just me or does this actually manage to sound rather snarky?
<_<
"...the older you get," indeed. (Well not like Mimika had any Cool Big Sis credentials left anyway...)

That homework assignment could really set off some red flags for any teacher who reads it
