It's a child. Please, no.

Omichi please stop falling for the literal child.

They're both children, you're overreacting.

No, they're pixels on your monitor.

Appears to be less Drama and more Needless Complication.

For a moment we all thought it was real, thank goodness you set us straight.

Set us Straight? Is that what this was all about

The pedo apologists are doing their usual thing. How surprising.

Anyone can go to Mangadex, read up to date, and see how the kneejerk morality police are being utterly off-base about the role Rin-chan will play in the series.

In fact, I don’t see how anyone who has actually been reading this series and who has the most basic level of reading comprehension could possibly think that anything approaching actual “pedophilia” would be depicted by this author in the context of this series.

Unless someone defines girl-crushes as “pedophilia,” of course, at which point the conversation becomes even more irrelevant than usual.

Age of consent is 13 in parts of Japan anyway. So Omichi and Rin only have 4 years to wait, IF they're feeling that way inclined...〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

Could you please stop with this already. While the age of consent of 13 is """technically""" correct as that is how it's written in the Japanese Penal Code, literally all prefectures adopted ordinances that forbid sexual acts between adults and those under 18.

PLUS just recently they approved a bill to raise the age of consent from 13 to 16 as part of a reform of the Penal Code, so with that it's just flatout wrong, both technically and practically.

The discussion of the Japanese age of consent for sex is especially off-topic since absolutely nothing has been depicted or even suggested in this series that would make that standard relevant.

Hah, I knew someone could not resist jumping on that word choice.

By the way, someone here know why the physical release stopped at volume 4 ?

The pedo apologists are doing their usual thing. How surprising.

And the witch-hunters are in full swing looking for more perfectly innocent people to burn alive I see. How surprising.

Oh no, Omichii is going to prison

I kinda can't believe I did not see this discussion coming, knowing what the chapters would hold.

Also I'd been dying to joke about how I could now also see Daphie jumping into the (temporary and now partly solved) translation bonanza, since the Rin/Omichii topic has brought the Manga into her strike zone!

This series has always tip toed the fine line between just being lolicon shit. But please god, don't pair a teenager with a fuckin 8 year old or whatever.

The word IF is relevant and tongue firmly planted in cheek.

They're both children, you're overreacting.

When you're an adult, 5 of 10 years of age gap don't matter, but that's not applicable in minors. I wouldn't see with good eyes a couple of a 5 years old and a 10 years old, neither 10 years old and 15 years old. In minors, every year changes a lot and makes a difference of maturity. It's nor right, it's strange. It's obvious that Rin should be a lot less mature, and Omichi more.

I don't really understand why they treat the kid like it is 20 years old in all that conversations. It made me feel uncomfortable.

(Sorry for my poor English)

Please cite a chapter, panel and/or line of dialogue in the actual story that you deem to be morally objectionable.

For that matter, please cite a specific example of when “they treat the kid like it is 20 years old.” (Whoever “they” might be.)

None of the children in this story so far are treated as anything more than normal children.
Koguma and Hino are perfectly normal kids with a budding romantic interest in one another and some tints of sexual chemistry developing because they're hitting puberty. This is entirely normal, even commonplace, it's just that a lot of adults don't like acknowledging it to the point of denying that it exists entirely besides in the dreams of pedophiles.
The idea that children don't explore sexuality at all until they hit 18 (or even 13 for that matter) is nothing but a myth, and I would even go so far as to claim that stories which depict childhood but omit this element are essentially soft-censoring the concept of human adolescence by omitting an integral facet of it.

Smol kindergartner developed a crush on Hino because she was nice to her and she's seemingly starved for affection, nothing even remotely unnatural or sketchy about it. Hino decides that, out of respect for the kindergartner's resolve and bravery, she should take the proposition seriously and reject her properly rather than patronize her feelings by calling them "just a crush" even if that's what they are and the kindergartner just doesn't know it.

Literally all the children in this story behave exactly like what they are: children with only a vague understanding of what love and sex is; interacting with each other in funny ways either because hormones are one hell of a drug or because they have feelings they don't understand but are trying to rationalize with what they know.

All perfectly natural, all perfectly realistic, only exaggerated for comedic effect.

Still loving this series, not sure I even understand what the translation drama is about so I'll just ignore it I guess...

Looks like 110 and 110.5 are the same.

Edit Looks like 110 got fixed.

Happy Sugar Life did it and that series turned out just fine

I had the same thought as the one user who was like "noo omichi don't fall for the actual kid"
But I hardly see reason to worry, I mean, if it were to seriously happen we still have like 120 chapters of before it reaches that point (:
