I completely agree. I like the story and I think the art is great, but I’m more than likely going to drop this just because of the strange/creepy dynamic all of the other characters have around Ancia.
SO many adults crushing on a legit CHILD. Like the one dark haired, red eyed guy legit calls her kid, but then follows it up with “I’ll make her mine.” Σ(っ°Д °;)っ SIR???
Her relationship with the prince feels more motherly, and at this point it actually makes me feel REALLY uncomfortable when they push for the romantic sub-plot between the two. I don’t see hot ML, I see CHILD. He’s so dependent on her that even if we get to the point where they’re aged up, I STILL won’t feel great about it because she’s practically freaking raising him!!
Ugh I want to like this story, I really do. But I cant keep myself from cringing at every interaction. No shade at all to anyone who still enjoys it, I think it’s just personal at this point. I prefer older guys, more suave and/or calculating. As far as I’m concerned the Emperor can GET IT ლ(´ڡ`ლ) , but the bunny-type persona only makes me think of little siblings. And I ain’t into it.

don’t get me wrong they’re cute together but like she’s mentally so much older than him and she treats him like her child so it just feels weird to see them together romantically at all
