Yeah, if the author didn't go with that direction with the first couple chapters, I'm sure this story would have more readers...
I was about to drop it too, but stayed because of the "mind reading", "murder", and "psychological" tags. I was really worried I was gonna end up reading something really weird...
Same reason I dropped Seven Deadly Sins even though it was so interesting to me back thennnn aigjgjghgjfg
But I heard while reading: "After the Rain" that some authors apparently do this cuz their manga chapters are uploaded on male targeted magazines, so they have to catch their attentions, somehow.

Gross! Japan is the diddy land and they have a shotacon industry.
Crazy how that country doesn't have its product boycotted for its pedo laws. I read the reason as to why their population is declining beside sexism and housing, is due to pedophelia and infanticides; most Japanese women are 4B movement followers

As much as the story is interesting, I can't get over the obvious sexualisation of the female protagonist, a child : the dream her teacher had about her and the police uniform she wore.
The author is crossing the line and testing the waters.
Dropped :(
I don't judge anyone reading it, but I get pedo vibes from the author
