Like this is obviously sexual https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/akebi_chans_sailor_uniform/nbt/9c5f035555e862d1/Ch7/
The person isn’t naive. they’re defending and making excuses. I haven’t even read the story, and i’m not going to read it either, but just from the photos i can already get an idea.
what a great way to represent and draw teenagers, huh? amazing tbh, we’re drawing middle schoolers in such short shorts that you can literally see their underwear. wow!! nothing wrong with that, right? And of course, let’s put middle schoolers in sexualized situations too. clearly nothing wrong with putting a middle schooler in that kind of scene, like the one where they get wet in the canal. Absolutely nothing wrong. they’re doing what everyone who defends shitty content does: acting like it’s no big deal and like the person pointing it out is the problem, just so they don’t have to deal with the discomfort of acknowledging it. basically, they’re gaslighting themselves
after reading it i could've argued at first that it was one of those "kids explore things sometimes and its just curiosity" but even if thats the case showing panels, drawing shit like the legs n feet out like that, the skirt drag shots, the emphasization with colored panels, yes without a doubt that shits made by a weird person. imo the authors most likely a weird fuck but as long as some reader isnt going like "oh thats hot" than i think its fine. def dont think it can be defended tho.
but this all from this chapter i read js now

Guys is this person being naive or are we tripping https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21534891/?page=1
