Yuzumori-san

Eh, the majority of real-world pedos don't actually do anything to kids, because they know it would be a terrible idea ethically, legally and socially.  It just requires a normal human amount of self-control.  (Which, admittedly, is not all that common in mangas.)

Of course of all the times I want statistics on creepy shit I can't find it when I need it, but yeah, this. When you get a really secure anonymous survey going there turns out to be a shitload more people that are pedophiles or hebephiles than you would think, but they understand why banging kids or supporting child pornography is wrong so they never go any further than looking at cartoon kiddos.

Edit: Well, I don't care enough about comment conversations on batoto to spend more than five minutes searching through my mess of a hard drive, but I did find this vague image with a few references. Better than nothing, I guess.

It's important to understand taboos as a thing that's common enough to BE taboo in the first place, and to fully comprehend that there's a range of circumstances behind them. If someone says they've once had lewd thoughts about a kid and you immediately decide they're the scum of the earth, that's just as bad as labeling someone as a worse human being just because of any other sexual preferences such as homosexuality. Once they actually start acting on those urges on real kids is when you can start throwing stones.

I honestly can commend her for keeping it in her pants there.

I mean, if you're a lolicon and there's a defenseless loli in front of you, inside your room, when nobody is (implied) home, crimes are bound to follow suit.

She's not a lolicon, she's a feminist.

A survival game where you play as a zombie trying to avoid getting caught by the survivors? Sounds interesting.

i'll just leave this here.

This is actually quite interesting. I'm one of those slightly insane "yuri danshi" who forgives any and all crimes as long as it's yuri, and even I notice that there's something wrong with the vibe, here, something closer to real life pedophilia than the sanitized and "romanticized" lolicon fares, and I feel that the vibe is intentional. It achieves this despite the first impression of innocent cute girls, with the older one being a harmless-looking childish teenager herself who hasn't done anything wrong, per se.

Could Mimika resist her dangerous attraction? Will Yuzumori ever find out, and how will she take it? Is the story going to backtrack and end up as one of the sanitized lolicon fetish stuff anyway, or will it actually take the disturbing undercurrent seriously? I'm really curious where it will go.

How can this manga "feel" so lewd when nothing really happens?

I don't know, but I still have the MPs on speed-dial, just in case.

I LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING

Lolicon? there is no complex here. She is just a loli enthusiast.

Listen to this guy! I'm not a lolicon, I'm just a loli enthusiast!

yuri lolicon

i dont give a fuck bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh yuri shines through all sins lets goooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wait, 16? I must not have been paying attention, because I assumed she was more like 13. 16 is definitely pushing it.

Yeah, Mimika's a second year in high school. Yuzumori's a fourth year in elementary.

Her sweating, Yuzumori's total innocence and initial suspicion, the fact that Mimika has no official excuse to be interacting with her.  Usually in these kinds of mangas, the loli is magically precocious, and a little pushy, and throws herself at an older teacher or neighbor or guardian or whatever.  This is just straight-up "I started following a random kid around for no reason other than my attraction to her."

 

And the age difference is big.  Mimika's 16-17, Yuzumori's 9-10.  That's pedophilia by any measure.

 

I'm not complaining, though.  It's interesting to read a semi-serious story with a lolicon MC who's aware of their own feelings from the start.

In my head, I know this isn't so bad. Both girls are young, the age difference isn't all that big. They're kids. They're BOTH kids.

I know that, in my head. But Mimika's expressions and behaviours... they just REEK of (potential) criminal. I blame her sweating, it's really establishing a very... specific... vibe. Even though she's just a kid.

Anyway, at least she's not acting on her urges at the moment. Still doesn't mean that it's appropriate for her to have these thoughts.

Having thoughts is never inappropriate. Being a pedophile/lolicon (as in sexually attracted to kids) is not wrong as long as you don't act on it.

Anyway, i think the point of this manga is about the MC discovering her sexuality and exploring relationship that's deemed unlikely and uncommon by the current society (highschool girl and elementary school girl). Instead of debating whether it's pedophilia or not (which it is) let's just enjoy it or leave.

Nothing like a common sense secondary character to shake things up with basic logic.

Sorry to say it but "they're both kids" really doesn't excuse anything.  We all like to think that pedophiles are these dirty old men but in reality things start much younger.  A friend of my daughter was abused by her then 13 yo babysitter when she was six. This continued until she was 8 when she finally had the courage and understanding to say something to an adult.

You have to think on the circumstances for each case, you said the molester was a 13 yo, do you know his/her background? Who can't say she wasn't abused and brainwashed to think that is normal and health? I know a bunch of parents that teach their sons to pick all the girls they can, even if the son is of young age and is discovering about sex and what not, you can't blame a kid, you can blame the education they had.

Mimika's facial expressions is what got me worried at first, but the dialogues are lighthearted and as far as the story is going.

Sexuality is not a decease and you don't chose who you will fall in love.

Just relax and read, if you don't feel ok with this manga, move on to the next.

why the hell do you care, it's just manga.

I bet there will be, but wait, in the end, both are kids. Ah well, there are people freaking out for the most simple stuff out there.

 

Not sure if the author pushed a bit in the older girl expressions by mistake or it is his style, if it wasn't for the relaxing(?) mood the manga setting pass to the reader, i would say this is a hentai.

Well that settles that.

Who the fuck cares, it's a comedy you dweebs
