Omg! I had this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach the moment the author put a 10 year old child under the guardianship of 2 older male's not related to her. Other things that added to the unease:
1. Bachelor men rarely volunteer to father some unknown children unless there is some familial connection or some other sinister agenda behind their action (u know what).
2. The casual way the author put in a joke about a 100 year old age gap. I mean how was that a joke? Normal Adults don't really make that sort of connection in the presence of a real child or think of such jokes.
3. The very uncomfortable way Falco clung to the child. Adults don't do that. Children do seeking affection. Adults seeking affection do that with other Adults. That whole sitting in between his open legs! They barely know each other. He could've just sat side by side hugging her shoulders. How did an adult woman who isekaied into another world start acting like a real child and became okay as a Japanese with such skinship?! This is rhetoric
4. Both Falco & Leon are above 50 years old but they're drawn as young men in their early 20s. You'd think they would have their own circle by then but they don't. The panels from chapter 1 to 15 are all about "how cute shou is!". Why? I can 100% assure you that real parents (both biological & adoptive ones) don't express their love only by that sentiment!
5. The author can't have a romance started by Falco since that would be very obviously pedophilic. So with the mc starting her romantic feelings, he thinks it solves the problem by making the child pursuer(⊙…⊙ )
And at the end of the day, all these lolicons want the body of child! And this 10 year old body fulfilled that purpose!
6. Why did the mc progress into a housemaid. They get a new house and slowly the 10 year old kid starts cooking and cleaning the house for 2 grown-ass old men!!! No matter what the situation is, they were supposedly her adoptive parents. Wth was that!
7. If this was a true family type manga the author would've definitely put in a mother figure in the 10 year old's life. The very maternal presence would've burned off any pedophilic tendencies in this manga. But as anyone can see, it is littered with old men masquerading in the young men's bodies to represent virility and also for hiding the very disgusting visuals it would give the readers with the 40+ years age gap ( ̄へ ̄)
7. As always, nobody packages pedophilia like the Japanese manga authors using wholesome family type caricatures to mask this disturbing underbelly!
When the manga started perfectly when I first read it years ago.. I just wanted a family relationship thing between all of them. But the author suddenly sprinkled romance in it. It got ruined for me. Honestly, Falco wasn't even trying any shit to MC and literally treats her as a lil sister. Then they suddenly slap MC to fall in love with him.
