That’s even worse because young girls eventually fantasize and fetishizes these relationships that a lot of the times deal with grooming/SA ect. They should have made the ml a middle schooler too or a high schooler at least if it’s directed towards and meant to accompany young girls. This story is a perfect example of a young girl who reads too much mangas like this exact one, shes literally fantasizing their relationship while talking with him

Omg. She's literally a kid. I'm getting a second hand embarrassment by looking at that kid. I wish some shoujo manga will stop using kids as their main character in a romance sheesh.
