the sml in the japanese version isnt even half as dangerous as the one here. wtf is that on literally ep 1

the guy i dated when i was 15 and he was 19-20. we've been flirting since i was 12-13. i have been hitting on him first. i am 24 now, i know for a fact what grooming is and that was not grooming at all.
we dated on and off until i was 19, not even for a single day did we have sex. we are still lowkey in contact.
again never had sex.
because majority of us took love as love. not omg lets fuck. thats what i personally think is fked up with western culture.
i didnt have seggs until i was 22. i started bleeding since i was 10. 12 years of being hormonal, yet didnt have the urge to have sex.
have had 4 boyfriends throughout this time, none of them did either with me.

i didnt watch the movie. i read the manga. in the manga, she was turning 17 and he was 22. thats why it felt super normal to me. because that happens in my country 24/7. but i think they extended the age in the movie to make more appealing to an older generation i guess?

like 16 marrying 26 was super common like just 35-40 years ago in my country atleast, but with time, it has gone down, mostly because most fathers are educating their daughters as well. again like i said all about culture.

if i saw a 16 year old dating a 26 year old, id inform the girl's and the guy's parents, if they have no problem, who the fk am i to question hundreds of years of biology and culture. if she was getting raped, made to forcefully marry or give up her career or give birth, then the whole society would intervene, but no one actually bats an eye on a couple falling in love.

people in the west have deleted the concept of love and just think of sex in a relationship. most teenage age gap couples i know, wait for the younger one to turn 18 bc theyre in love.

but yeah 16-26 is too much. 16-19 or 16-20 would have been way better

yeah y'all see, this is disguting. because she is in her 30s being into a high schooler. also the hes 15?
i saw so many people being mad at a 15 yo dating a 19-20 year old. but this is of course loved by the comment section. look at the terms " taboo theme, hmm serious theme hmmh mm"
no thats a grown ass middle aged woman, who groomed a kid. is she a pdf? no the male actor here didnt look like a child. but is it predatory and grooming? absosultely. and it is, somewhere down the line pdfilic too because wtf, you want fresh young man, go for a 23-25 year old. thats a 15 year old child. y'all be supporting all the wrong things

"but the girl should at least be 18." yeah cause like in 2 years the girl is gonna have an euphoric realization at age 18. like today im 17 and a dumbass kid, and next day i wake up and im 18 and god, i have gained 17 guns and the power of force straight from anakin skywalker.
its asia not europe, women start mensurating here by the age of 10-9. give it a break the dude is 22 not 42. if he was 42, then jail him with epstein, because why is he attracted to the kid. but 22-16 fall in the same age range, especially in asia. youre forgetting the fact that the 22 year old was 16-17 just a few years ago. this age gap romance is extremely common in asia, especially non christian countries.
for example me, i started bleeding at age 10. and i promise you , after mensurating for 6 fkn years, i did not look like i a child, i mean its biologically impossible. and i used to date a dude who was like 20 when i was 16, i used to hit on him since i was 12 tho. but yeah my point is the age gap is fine. fyi that dude is now dating a older ahh busty woman, so there you go, not a pdf.

yk what isnt fine? 45-50 year old men dating 18 year old girls and waiting for them to turn 18. thats fkn creepy and disgusting. the fact that people who were in the epstein files are still free and merry is disgusting. y'all always worried about the wrong things.

the aribitrary line of adulthood at 18 was initiated by white countries, especially america based on their demographic of puberty. that changes from area to area, region to region. which they didnt account for. imo, people shouldnt even marry until 25, both genders, heck 27 for men cause they hella immature.

the only problematic thing about this series was the fact they got married. if they kept on dating thats would have been so much better.

yes and no. FL is 15 in the manga and ML is 25. you have to understand the culture tho. this age gap is extremely common in asia, east asia, south east asia, africa. summer countries basically, where girls mensuration cycle starts at 10-9 years of age. mine did at 10 tbh, unlike white women who dont start until 16-17 even in the 20th century. ofc a 13 year old white girl would look WAYY younger than a 13 year old asian child, especially middle eastern and south asian.
so a person who has been mensurating for 5-6 years is not physically a child. so a person attracted to them romantically is not a pdf. because theyre not into the child theyre into a grown body. but why always bring seggs into everything. segg really wasnt a part of asian culture much. im indian, bengali to be exact. there are like a billion romance books released during 1970s, 80s, where a 13-15 year old is dating a 19-20 year old. and it happened for real as well. the european 16-17 is the asian 13-14.
no one forces these girls to date 19 year old guys. early millenials and baby boomers have all known this as normal, and who are we to say this is problematic and say that their entire childhood and youth is a lie because of some american rule of how puberty works.

this was common and culture. we've always been known that "date older guys" thats also because female puberty occured much faster than male puberty,
in that sense a 13 year old girl attracted to a 13 year old boy is more pedophilic because the 13 year old boy actually looks like a child, the sex hormones have not kicked in yet.

when i was 15 i used to date a 19-20 year old guy as well, knew him since he was a minor too. you cant put a label on love. you cant go against basic biology.

but yes they could have easily reduced the age of the ML here to 20-19. that would have been much better. but did you see, the couple didnt have lust, they had love. thats the key.

i have pretty regular sex, and i promise you, if i ever get pregnant and get an abortion, my partner wouldn't villainize and dump me. he would console me. because he loves me over an unborn child.
but you know the fun part? my bf isnt as stressful as the ML here, thats why i can easily share to him if i needed an abortion. ML wasn't a good partner and definitely not the right person to be a father to sfl's kid so she didnt tell him.
having sex doesnt make you eligible to be a father.

just episode 1 and im hoooked im totally hooked. and i love ml's haircut, gonna make my bf get it uwu

its on kisskh rn

"my issue is that older man/younger woman castings are just seen as...normal"
well thats patriarchy. but dont worry, with time itll vanish

there are multiple mainstream jdramas with older female actors and younger male actors. also. THE ML IS TAKERU SATO. ITS TAAKEEERUUU SAATOOH. thats like margot robbie or ryan gosling of jdrama. its just not any older male actor T_T
