I wrote this but asked Google to make it some more appealing incase my rambling doesn't help.
Me<Okay your right it wouldn't be sexualizing. But normalizing that romantic bond between a 10 year and a 17 year is still weird. Yes you can have friends within the age gap but its not right to see someone in a romantic way. That is the uncomfortable part about it. And having that become an ANIME. Is the problem im trying to put my point across.
If the studio doesn't keep this story in a friendzone or keep the ten years feelings as a simple crush then it will become a problem. Yes some adult can separate fictions, fantasy, and real life.
But most will still be uncomfortable by it.
My argument is that having this seen in a younger audience view. The mind of a child. If a child is not taught wrong about something like having a crush and acting on a crush. Those are two different things.
Because I have been there. Being twelve and thirteen like some thats three to seven years older than me because I have a crush and acting on that crush. >
Google ai to summarize it better. <Even if an adaptation of Shota Oni avoids explicit or sexual content, animating and normalizing a romantic bond between a 10-year-old child and a 17-year-old teenager remains inherently uncomfortable and deeply flawed. Unlike manga, which is a niche, self-selected medium primarily read by older audiences, anime is a highly visual, passive format broadcast on major streaming platforms where impressionable, younger viewers can easily encounter it. Defenders frequently argue that adults can easily separate fiction from reality, but this entirely ignores the mind of a child. It is common for a child to develop an innocent, confused crush on an older peer; however, when a studio wraps the pursuit or reciprocation of that crush in a "cute, wholesome" aesthetic, it distorts a young viewer's understanding of real-world boundaries. It teaches them that acting on such a massive age gap is safe and socially acceptable, stripping away their natural defenses. If the production studio recognizes this discomfort enough to alter the title to Ore to Yu Nii! (Me and Older Brother Yu!), they have a moral obligation to go beyond marketing tactics. The studio must fundamentally rewrite the narrative text to ensure the relationship stays strictly in the "friendzone" as a platonic, protective, older-brother bond. Failing to fix this dynamic means actively choosing to broadcast a boundary-crossing relationship under the guise of safe, family-friendly programming.>
