I agree, also got weirded out how the beginning chapters started as a person who definitely don't like first meeting stuff like that
Thank fuck I continued bc the first 7 chapters was platonic and author didn't made Tei go pedo route and didn't immediately make him fall in love with shuraka the moment they meet each other again years later. If I were tei, I also would've also still see shuraka as a child to protect and not as a lover (it's hard not to when your first meeting is when you realized your lover is a fucking child which makes it weird, even Tei was uncomfortable when he found out his lover was a child )

The whole child thing is weird idgaf bru couldve made them wed when older
