If you don't see the clear sexual tones you might be blind it's obvious as hell

I think you're just too sensitive or something. lol
If you get turn on by reading this Manga you need to see the doctor. lol

I wish i was as dumb and naive as you. This whole manga is just the author barely hid fetish

If that's what you believe, then why you keep Reading it? If you keep consuming a form of entertainment that, in your eyes is a fetish for over 80 chapters, then you are a pervert by your own definition. Why don't you just f#ck off, then?

I don't read it i saw the first two chapters and dropped it dummy

So you are judging a story of 88 chapters after only reading 2... If so, your input about it has no value at all. Your opinion and your views about it don't matter, stupid.

Two chapters is enough i don't want to read 80 chapters of a child being sexualized because I'm normal

Nah, you are just too sensible and easily offended by fictional characters, focusing on only one aspect that is severely toned down in later chapters. Grow an emotional spine...

Blah blah blah blah you like kids alright

If you see these 13 years old girls and come to the conclusion they are "sexy", then you are the one sexualizing them in your head. So, my advice? Stop projecting, pervert.

Bro is gonning to kids.

You want me to be a pervert soooo badly sorry i don't like the sexualization of little girls weirdo

I know... Dude is projecting hard.

But you're sexualization it.
Are you stupid or what?
Just stop gonning to kids Weirdo

I'm not it is sexualized I'm just acknowledging it

Don't waste your time... He is just some freak that sees sexualization in every kid he crosses...

Yeah you're right

I don't know who's a kid and who is not, but this artwork definitely sexualizes characters
I say this without any offense. I skimmed through it without reading it so as not to bias my opinion. In the very first scene, the young girl does a series of very impressive gymnastic moves. Yadayada you can immediately recognize the work of a seasoned artist: a superb mastery of anatomy, movement, and a highly effective characterization that portrays the character as passionate, cheerful and interesting overall. Up to this point, there’s nothing sexualized about it. Everything is fine, and it really makes you want to keep reading it. Then she fell into the water, and there was a panel shot from a low angle focusing on how the water drips from her shorts—and specifically on the size of her butt. In this panel, there is no dialogue, no new insight into the girl’s personality: just a heavy focus on her butt. I have no doubt that this work is worth reading, but let’s not lie to ourselves. Girls come in all shapes and sizes (I don't know her age yet), and that in itself isn't sexual. But in the context of a drawing and a story, depicting something commonly viewed as sexual WITHOUT it adding anything to the narrative is definitely a kink on the author's part.

You're right and the sexualization of young girls in the manga is a well known thing. The gaslighting is strong with the ones denying it.

The problem is your eyes
Nobody is turn on reading this manga. If you are you need to be in jail

You just need to stop gonning to kids that all
All your mind dirty. Nobody turn on reading this manga

Honestly, true that it is kinda sexualized but the way you point out on people that they're go-ning is the wrong in your point. I am a female and I read this for the chemistry, story, art, and for the yuri and if I'm being honest with you, nothing perverted has even happened to the story. It's just how the anatomy of this author works. Now please, don't go around judging the readers just because you saw a SMALL portion, you could judge only if you've reached the end as us. Not when you only know tiny, a kid or not, but if a mind of one kind is childish. That's what loses.

Plot is an adaptation of selkie folklore where some men would take selkie wives by stealing their seal skins, leading to an unhappy marriage. Then the selkies return to the sea after finding their skins either with help or on their home.

I'm glad I drop this shit.

Why?? Her past isn't graphic and the storytelling is intriguing.

It's actually pretty accurate of that time..

This story doesn’t even feel like the author has a rape/abuse fetish. Is this theme present in their other works?

The other work is a korean palace setting where a yokai fox lady comes across a mysterious person that can see her true form. This person is also secretly being held captive at the palace because she’s treated as an ingredient/elixir of immortality for the emperor. The fox lady is trying to help the captive person escape while working to uncover the conspiracy surrounding why this person is special. I won’t spoil, but the concept of an “elixir of immortality” being chased after by an emperor has historical roots and people would imagine all kinds of “medicinal” ingredients, like mercury or “snake oil,” or “mermaid flesh.”

People can avoid reading stories that include rape/abuse because they are indeed heavy and sensitive topics and should be treated with the seriousness they deserve. However, the author doesn’t have a rape/abuse fetish because the impact of rape/abuse on the character and setting isn’t ignored. In fact, the author never portrays them as “positive” experiences and even takes good care of the pacing when covering these topics. Taking a close look, the historical selkie folklore that the plot is based on can be problematic because some are stories of men almost “getting away with it,” when really the selkies were the ones at a loss the entire time. If you completely write off a story without understanding why it’s adapting specific elements of folklore and history, you might also potentially miss the point.

For example: if you want to try and analyze: the author is adapting historical folklore that framed women-like beings and non-humans as needing to be “tamed” or “acquired” for a man’s benefit, and recentring the stories around women’s survival, freedom, love, and more. (As you can tell, I am a nerd).

You put this into words so well!! I also felt the same with how the author incorporated the selkie's past and what the author intended.

That was such beautiful wording twin and with the recent updates the selkie folklore is a really interesting story and idk what this guy is on about with the author so called fetishes bc they literally aren’t plus the story is perfectly paced out well and isn’t rushing any part of it and if this guy didn’t properly read and actually understand the whole story and is just spouting bs I think he needs to gtfo bc clearly this isn’t his cup of tea then we don’t need his comments

Thank you, twins!!! Ngl, I think it's a little concerning if the sight of mature subject matter makes a person jump to a fetish assumption rather than trying to figure out if an author is trying to create a meaningful portrayal of a real issue. Hot take, but I think that kind of quick dismissal is its own sort of violence because people should know that the act and consequences of rape and abuse do not always look the same, that the topic should be taken seriously, and that we need to dismantle the structures that allow this power abuse to continue. I absolutely hate all those toxic yaois that start with rape because they romanticize coercion, but I also understand that they're almost a satirical joke. Like, imagine the double standards of a red pill man forced to read that stuff. Men's security and comfort around other men should not come at the expense of a woman's dignity!!!!

well on the one hand i hate that there's a past like that

on the other i like that the author kind kept close and true to selkie lore

The plot is based off staying close to selkie lore

So? I'm really happy to drop this kind of shit. Rape isn't not my interest.

Then just drop it ain’t no one cares about your opinions, you literally posted two separate comments for what
