It's so frustrating that compensated dating as a minor is correctly identified as dangerous for Aya, but the fact that she was sexually exploited by the bar owner is not treated as a serious concern. It's giving "woah the sexual predator is a woman? Awooga! I wish that was me!" The bar's patrons don't care, and while Marika does call it illegal, it's still obviously played as a joke. In fact, she later blames Aya for putting herself in that situation.
Clearly, for two girls in love, there is no environment more romantic than the bar owned by a woman that groomed one of the two girls (and a third girl). What place could be more relaxing and safe than that?
The real kicker is that it's not very common for the wider wlw community to be explored in yuri manga, and this one just tosses in a grooming subplot that takes place in a lesbian bar, and treats it so lightly.
