Omichi may be walking a fine line between side couple and a jail cell, but you have to admit that she’s a great friend and had some of the best reactions in this chapter.

Well, regardless I was afraid that this would be our "new" with those two (Koguma and Hino that is). "Well sure we make out for hours to end, have sex, and somehow got pregnant from it and married even though it's illegal but maybe she's just playing along" type of deal. But nah. If anything this sudden development left and right feels so out of place. Not that it wasn't earned.

Eh, this series has always been quick to resolve dramatic developments. Before the body switch and Rin arcs, none of these dramatic developments took up more than 2 chapters. It just feels faster paced because there’re less joke chapters between each development (which I do hope we get at least a few more of before this series ends).

I actually thought this chapter would be the one to shut certain people up, but some people just live in their own little outrage worlds disconnected from objective reality and any sense of nuance.

I hated omichi cuz she was such a cock block but now she’s a pedophile. Glad I disliked her from the start

...Imagine calling a 12-year-old a pedophile. õ_õ

She’s not a fucking 12 year old, shes in highschool. So yes she would be considered a pedo

Omichi: "Im going to wait for her to graduate high school."
Dynasty Readers: "You're absolute scum!!! The worst character imaginable!!!"

Yep, cuz if u didn’t know, what she’s doing is called grooming :)

i think they have 13 or 14, highschool in japan it is from 15-16 to 17-18, middle school is from 12 to 15. and and elementary school is from 6 to 11-12 years old.

Why does it say "you dummy" and not "you jerk"?

Woohooooo

Yeah, lol. Omichi's gonna have to wait like 6-8 years

She's a first year in middle school you twit.
You're either trolling or completely butt-fuck insane.
This is how the witch trials happened and you're living proof we have not evolved as a species since.

Good job, Omichi. ^_^

And wishing you best luck in your own love.

I really wouldn't call what she's doing that. Nothing about her character suggests that. Grooming is not a simple thing to throw around, although this probably isn't the space to having discussions about that I guess.

Anyway, nice confession from them. Always a cute story.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH fucking finally

idk where the middle school thing comes from,at least get the numbers right if you want to argue about it. Koguma, Hino and Omichi are all first years in High School. So Omichi is at least 15, 16 if her birthday has already passed.
Meanwhile Rin is at most 11 or 12 if she's in her last year of Grade school, don't think that's been specified.

Well, maybe not quite grooming but definitely weird. I guess since she says she'll wait I'm less uneasy with it now but I still think Omichi's kinda wacked lol... That being said she seems a bit too naive regarding sex and stuff so idk. I can see her growing out of it, realistically speaking but since this is a manga they'll probably get married in 10 years or some dumb thing like that.
Also depends on if Rin really is 11-12 and not like 9 or sth. Big difference there lol...

All the weird stuff the MCs have been doing from the very beginning is just par for the course, but an explicitly non-physical age-gap crush is cause for moral freakouts . . .

Bro wtf are you on? There’s actually no way u compared me to the witch trials and on top of that, ur trynna justify some weird shit. u must not know how to read cuz clearly in the newest chapter it was stated that she was in grade school, do you know what grade school is or do I need to dumb it down for you, cuz if I haven’t evolved as a species that means ur on a whole other level of dumbass.

Can you idiots take your stupid slap-fights to PMs and quit crapping up the thread? Christ. Some people...

I can't believe it. It went full yuri. First boob manga and now this. What next? YuruYuri?

I laught at the last page, holly crap poor Koguma.

Well to put it in a nutshell, I just don't find the Watsonian explanation for Omichi's feelings to be hugely convincing, so I'm left the Doylist one, that the author just wants the high-schooler to crush on the tiny kid. And "all the weird stuff the MCs have been doing from the very beginning" has eroded my ability to give the author the benefit of the doubt as to why they want this.

Just to throw it out there, but I wouldn’t be shocked if there are authors who grew up on so much manga that use the idea of teachers/older students waiting for their younger partners to be older being treated like this great romantic sacrifice that they may not even think twice about it.

Well, obviously the author wants character A to crush on character B, because that's what they depict. So what?

Omichi has feelings that she is determined not to act upon until some future point. What of it?

Is this a moral transgression on the character's part? On the author's part? If the latter, what is the precise nature of that transgression? What "benefit of the doubt" might you have been willing to grant the author that you no longer are?

Transgressions? Who do you think I am, Judge Dredd? No, I just think the author is a bit creepy. Does that mean I can't enjoy the work? Not necessarily. Is it a "moral freakout" to point it out even so? I don't really think so.

People keep saying this is a "a bit creepy," or that they feel "uncomfortable," or that something "weird" is being depicted.

I'm aware that for some Dynasty readers any age gap romantic feelings are sufficient cause for moral outrage (hence the accusations that the character is being a "pedophile" or that "grooming" is being portrayed or that Omichi is possibly heading for a jail cell).

But I'm wondering about precisely what has actually been depicted in this particular story that is the source of all this vague discomfort or of the aspersions cast on the author.
