It's not like that bruh. Reading this manhwa for so long still don't know what type of man Yuri is ? I'm little disappointed that I've to break it to a fellow Passion: Raga reader. Yuri always thought of Xinlu as a beautiful person , a flower or a tropical sea habitant. How can you say "a pedo" to a person like that ?
Be so fr first love means romantically loving someone or being attracted to one even if its not sexual. I cant go up to a 12 year old and tell them oh youre my first love. This was wrong and completely not in par with yuris character and all that the author has shown us about yuri beibg kind compassionate understanding kesping distance and even his bounderies ans how hes distanced himself from people too much. So yes i think its completely thebauthors fault for taking this in the wrong way and having yuri say fkrst love instead of admire or compassion or any of that sort. Its 100% authors fault
I love raga and these two more than the other passion characters but I still think yuri was wrong and it does kinda give pedo vibes even if he meant it differently. Thinking of a child when talking abt first love or love in general when you had no ties to the kid and youve only met him once is weird
Bro don't you understand what Yuri meant by it ?? Bro meant the moment which caught his eye and he was never able to forget that moment. He meant that moment as his first love. He was never once so bewitched by anything other than that. Why you bringing pedo , romance , sex , attraction to 12 yo out of no where when you already know that's not what Yuri meant by it ? I hate when people don't use their brains to understand deeply

Imagining a kid while talking about first love was basically pedo
