I'm disappointed that the KIMO line is not translated as disgusting instead of creep.
Having someone call you disgusting is more emotionally damaging than a mere "creep".

At the raw the line
なに見ての?キモ ( nani miteruno? Kimo )
should be "what are you looking at? Disgusting" rather than creep to give more emotional damage imo

The little girl is super annoying… tbh both characters are pretty unlikable. The concept is okay just wish their personalities weren’t trash. yawn

Thats one way to start a series. This is pretty interesting..., it's also made by the same author as Wanna Sip? good for her, for releasing a series ^_^

The author's barely disguised fetish.

I misread the chapter title as "Devil Triggered" and now I'm just disappointed

Wataten just ended, it's kinda funny this one was starting the same way and then quickly took a different turn.

What makes this series different from most other oneeloli manga I've read is the protagonist is explicitly and self-admittedly a pedophile, to the extent that she deliberately tries to avoid situations where she might meet a young girl. While I think it is more "honest" than most other such manga for that reason, it also gives the comedy quite a weird feeling lol.

Yeah, what a disappointment. And I was looking forward to a series by them too.

Lol, try Onee-san Shougakusei by Yuzuki Ryota then. This one is STILL FAAARRRRR from that level.

Lol. Thanks for the meme.

I apologize if this comes across as offensive, and please feel free to correct me if I'm misunderstanding something. However, I find it strange how we often use the term lolicon instead of calling it what it really seems to be: pedophilia. When an older person is drawn to "cute" and clearly young-looking characters, we soften the language by calling it lolicon, but the underlying theme doesn’t really change.

Personally, I tend to avoid this genre, but this particular work seems relatively innocent & uniquely different, though I’m still struggling to find the right words to describe it. Aika, for instance, appears to have a distinct personality, rather than being portrayed as the typical submissive, naive child character often found in many lolicon-themed manga. However, since it's only the first chapter, it's too soon for me to judge the direction of the series.

This first chapter sure is something-- yikes!

The choice of tropes employed and even just general premise is seriously icky, so I won't be continuing this.

Hope, for those who'll keep on reading, that this gets better (as in majorly less creepy).

I'm not gonna go into the super serious deepness of the topic, because it's already covered enough. The thing that made me scratch my head is that the series should be done. She liked the girl for how she looked, whatever, but she turned out to be an over the top asshole. Unless they're trying to sell her as the cutest being on earth, no amount of "looks" could outweigh that attitude.

If anything, I'm now curious how the hell the author is going to make it work out and not make it look forced. With so many axes flying around, they sure are confident they have enough time to flesh things out and make it work

"An Angel Flew Down to Me!" has ended, now we have "An Imp Looked Down on Me!" :))

When MC was 8 she fell for an 8 years old. 8 years later she still falls for another 8 years old. She's aware that it is problematic and takes steps to avoid meeting that little girl, against her heart's deeper instinctual wish, that's something to her credit, even though said plan failed because the universe has different plan.

(I wish the people that dislike the lolicon genre regardless would just blacklist the tag already, instead of wasting time and forum space for pointless discussion on morals in a clearly tagged comedy series)

It's a recipe for the ax, because it can't go anywhere.

After 1 chapter? We have more imagination than that, surely. We reached the "I don't like this so it must/will end," stage super quick with this one. Guess I understand why. Otherwise, I'm surprised this is NMI's new manga. I did love their other one shots. All of them showed a lot of creative ideas so I wonder how straightforward or unexpected this series will be. I'd be surprised if its played in a typical way.
