Some romantic manga, shows, and novels I once thought were cute as kid are actually very problematic. For example, I read a novel where the male lead kidnapped the female lead and they still ended up together. He even told his friends that he loved the second female lead but felt responsible for the first one. The second female lead refused to marry him because of what he did, and at the time I thought, “What a bitch.” I also thought the wife, the female lead, was kind. Now, as an adult, I realize the female lead was just stupid.

Is it just me or 26 or something in relationship with 15 or 16 is really weird
