Tsk tsk, oh Ririha... You can't seduce a person who's already madly in love

I just want to say, thank you Ejima-san, for not letting this manga go to the fucking trash can.

I don't want to further the rep of manga readers as obsessives like the American otaku who've memorized the serial numbers on the equipment on the Enterprise, BUT. I think the manga in question from their titles and the meager description remind me more of romance light novel or manga themes than hentai. I bet they're really long, for one thing.

"Destruction of Innocence" is wrong. Something like "Ruin's Innocence" would be the right way round.

The other title might mean more like "Chaste Destroyer". The title seen on the dropped manga is "Extermination Bride".

why they're all always ruined things that i really want to read ?

Oh, things are getting complicated. Didn't know it could get anymore so, but it has. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Fucking with Yuzumori-san Ririha? Not a very good idea. Are you sure that's a road you want to go down?

Ok, this is getting real weird, mainly because the whole thing of fashion model children. Like, what the fuck Japan.

When was the last time you opened a clothing magazine ? 'cause it's pretty comon to have boys and girls of any ages wearing some clothing to advertise them. As other said, it's usually casual poses, nothing "dangerous". XD

so yeah, it's not exactly something specific to japan and I don't really see the issue with a model her age as long as it's not "risqué" work.

I sense....DANGER!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ watch out Mimika!

Hello fellow lion (x moose?) fan. :)

Seems like this is the "Mimika loves Yuzumori specifically and not just small girls in general" bit.

Also: Ririha confirmed vampire.

Begone, whorebeast.

Hah!

ch 20, pg 6, "you'r saying" should be "you're saying"
ch 21, pg 5, "so thought I'd call out to you" I think that's "so I thought..."

It's really only an issue if they're sexualized. The magazine in the manga is aimed towards kids her own age so I don't really see the issue. Similar to child actors.

That argument doesn't hold water when Ririha is not only well aware of the existence of lolicons but she actively tries to use her own (or perceived at least) sex appeal to win Mimika's favor. To not mention the idolization her classmates indulge in.

In the meantime we have Yuzumori who also is aware of the existence of lolicons and is attempting to date one. Really, child models is very common in the west.

Yeah, but Yuzumori has been shown to be a naive and relatively pure affection stemming from the lack of attention she gets from her family. Ririha on the other hand is not acting like a child but rather like a tiny teenager, that is what makes it so unsettling for me.

Likewise. I'm worried for Ririha...

At no point any adult has been shown in that manga. Your issues about sexualization, or whatever, are clearly not addressed in the "world" the author created and are clearly irrelevant. The author isn't writing hentai or a social comment. They are just writing a romantic comedy where some characters are 4th graders.

Stop inserting reality and your triggers in my age gap yuri manga.

I mean, that's unrelated to the child model thing. And the idolization her classmates indulge in isn't too out of character imo.

Also, I dunno if you recall being a child but when I was one there were a lot of kids who tried to fake as tho they had more experience with things than they did or knew more than they did or were more mature than they were. I don't think Ririha has any intention of taking things to a sexual level. Her seduction is just emphasizing her cuteness after all. To her understanding a lolicon may just be an older person who is attracted to kids, without any awareness of all the gross awfulness that may entail.

Like, if I was going to say they're acting old for their age I'd probably say they're acting more like sixth graders than fourth graders but that's it really. In fact I'd probably go as far as to say Ririha acts more her age than Yuzumori?

Unfortunately telling them to stop isn't going to work. Their dumb-ass arguments that clog up threads are for some reason more important then the actual damn story itself. This isn't the only thread who succumbed to a pointless debate about something completely irrelevant about the manga. That's what happens when it comes to places other then Japan viewing Manga and/or Anime. Turns out some small little pointless and irrelevant thing that happened in said Manga/Anime is a big no no in another country. Take a look at Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, etc.

I would really love the arguments to stop but I can't fully agree with you saying this is purely romance or comedy.

Idolization is not bad by itself because yeah, is a perfectly normal way kids act at that age. The issue comes on the way is contextualized by Ririha's behavior. If she weren't so devoted to the gig (think on Hina's reaction to her own modelling career) it wouldn't be as jarring.

You're right and Ririha probably isn't trying to take things that far but again, the issue is that she is weaponizing her age to led Mimika stray. That conveys a degree of awareness that gets unsettling when is paired with the way the series has treated being a lolicon so far

Acting more like her age would mean she's closer to Kanna's "rival" than to Veronica trying to steal Archie from Betty.

Yuzumori actually acts like one would expect a child in her circumstances to act. Even her affection to Mimika comes off more like her seeing Mimika as an older sister or a foster mother than anything romantic.

You can't use this argument either because Yuzumori and Mimika's relationship isn't happening within a void ala Majyo to Houki to Kurobuchi Megane where being a lolicon was a total joke and there were no real conflict over it. Here the issue is treated more seriously and the conflict over being one is fundamental part of Mimika's character. Plus you have other characters reacting negatively at Mimika's urges. Hell, Mimika is a compelling protagonist because she is aware of her urges and does the best thing for Yuzumori regardless of them.

Are we even reading the same manga?
