U GUYS THEYRE BACK! On the official translation side, they uploaded the new chapter (85) a few days ago here. But the eng names kill me
Wait no huh.. ok I jus saw chap 85 but the unofficial translation doesnt have that scene, bro what. I WAS LETTING IT MARINATE FOR 4 MONTHS JUST TO FIND OUT THE LATEST UPDATE WAS FROM MONTHS AGO
Shit, compared to super lovers, it’s definitely less outrageous.
But still, as a writer I just cannot understand the thought process that leads to… this.
Apparently this is selling well in Japan.
I searched for reviews and apparently the kid isnt ever illustrated in a sexual manner. If its meant to be wholesome, that should really be made clear and not be slapped on with a romance label because its misleading.
Japan is disgusting
Racism?
Think whatever you want, pedo, they actually give liability to you pedos through fiction.
I won't "think" I know you're being racist lol
I won’t “think” I know you’re a pedophile lol
Lmao clocked them!!
Well, that's what ppl have been telling here also there are no misleading labels, honestly not just in japan it sells well in other countries too because you know ppl are not idiots unlike here in this thread and everyone just started harrassing before understanding anything, well accusing others you know some dimwits really weaponize vilest accusations to sound clever.
It’s best if both sides (but only non pedophiles) give proper direct explanations without bashing each other but also, I think a romance label is misleading because one would assume that its a mutual romance. Which is pedophilic in this case. This manga has too much controversy, and there are actual pedophiles reading this. The author is suspicious as well, their other works seem to just be shota too.
Understandable! But one cannot categorize someone as pedophile without proof n reason it's not same as calling someone an idiot. This story doesn't have a romance tag, there is no mutual romance in this. I would suggest you reading the authors interview if you wanna know about it, she was directly asked by the interviewer on this subject and her works. Earlier when this story was new ppl who supported reading this manga and those who don't used to gives proofs and explanation for their opinions but now everyone just became too tired of explaining it again n again, what you'll see now is a battlefield where slurs are weapon.
This manga's gallery has images with cp undertones like the kid kissing the guy and the guy blushing and rubbing their dicks together. This is shotacon, and shotacon means where little kids get sexualized, and there are literally creeps in the comments who want to rape the kid. And you're saying that we can't categorize them as pedophiles? What other proof do we need to call one a pedophile then? Shotacon is made for pedos, or else why would you want to see a weird relationship between a kid and an adult with cp undertones? Everyone who reads and defends this is clearly a pedophile!
Have you even read this story? Yuu face turns that way in all kinds be it being shy, embarrassed, angry, sad, blush. They weren't rubbing dicks!! Shotacon in no way means sexualization of kids. Give me proof where one said wanting to rape the kid, I've been active here n never seen any comments like that. If they did, that's really disgusting but where?

Some questionable images from the gallery of this manga, how is this not pedophilic?
Whether shotacon is made for pedos or not that's for you to research, don't say it based on your feelings. You saw word shota and came with the conclusion of everyone being pedophile. If you take this statement in a court theres no way you will be taken seriously. What you're saying is reading this equals real life behaviour which so flawed, for context you can check "real life laws" about this too. There's a difference between saying this content makes me uncomfortable and labelling everyone who reads it as a criminal. If we go by your logic everyone is a criminal no matter what the genre is. Don't confuse fiction with confession. This story is about kiddo's crush on his neighbour who is also a kid by the way, it's to see how it unfolds. You need more than this to categorize someone as a criminal. By no mean who reads and defends this a pedophile but I wonder, someone who so easily throw strong accusations around on random stranger over a fiction without sound proof be called as.
Girl, what real life laws are you even talking about? Lmao. I don’t know where you live, but in my country, any material depicting sexual content with a child,fictional or real,is prosecutable. It’s both socially unacceptable and illegal. You can get locked up just for possessing it, and that’s the law here. And guess what? We have one of the lowest crime rates.Real or fictional, it doesn’t matter,it’s still a criminal offense. No law will protect you for having CP. I’ll say it again: none. Are you seriously saying those weirdos in the comments who want to rape the kid aren’t pedophiles just because we don’t know if they’re acting on it in real life? Shotacon is literally material pedophiles use to get off because they know they can’t do it with a real kid without going to jail, so they hide behind this fictional garbage.I don’t know why you’re defending this or what laws you’re even talking about, but in many European and Asian countries, it’s prosecutable, and people can literally get beaten up for possessing or enjoying it. No one in society is going to treat you normally if you admit to enjoying something that sexualizes little kids. The only place where this is considered remotely “normal” is Japan.no wonder it's full of pedophiles.
He's being awkward because of how forcefully tsubaki is coming onto him, his balls getting crushed,the pain!. Kiddo is just being playful, I remember this ch Yu was stoned, you need to see before and after of this panel. Yuu set clear boundaries, made him understand later, you can't be picking one panel and leaving out whole ch.
Your concern is understandable but it’s important to see this is a fictional manga, with drawn characters, not real children.The story operates within a fantasy genre, exploring different topics but that doesn’t mean it’s endorsing anything. There’s a big difference between fictional narratives and real-world harm.
Calling it as cp oversimplifies a complicated issue same as calling others pedo based on it, trickle down its meaning, understanding the difference between fantasy art and criminal activity is what's important.
Most importantly it depends on perspective of individual on how you see it, just like how you're dissecting it, some just read it without a thought, some simply don't care, some find it cute, some read n forget, some are just too hung up on each n every thing in this story. I like this story! I want to see it to the end and I'm enjoying their journey, I want to see what happens to them, I find their interactions cute especially tsubaki's friend, I find them sweet. I don't know how dumb you take readers to be thinking ppl don't understand right from wrong. You are not the only sane person just because you strongly disagree on something.
Yeah, I get why some panels look sketchy especially when you're just picking only some panels but not reading ch. in continuity, this stuff isn’t for everyone. But it’s important to remember that Shota Oni is just fiction, with drawn characters, not real kids. I’m not saying everyone has to like it, but why stop others from reading it and shaming for no reason??? it’s better to talk about these things with some nuance instead of jumping straight to harsh labels.
In my country it's banned too but it depends on exact nature of the content. This story isn't what you're making it to be, you have a huge misunderstanding about it also I didn't defend anyone saying about raping kid.
All the countries where copies of this story is being sold consider it very much normal. A pedophile won't be sitting here reading manga using it as a fapping material and they don't care about jail from all news that I've seen so far, if they really did the world would've been a better place with these pest stuck inside their room and children happy.
Again for the last time those who read it don't enjoy sexualizing lil kids you are assuming because you have a perception that those who read this story are wrong. "Fictional depictions, like shotacon or lolicon, occupy a legal and ethical gray area, but they don’t define someone as a pedophile." (Not my words, copy/pasted)
Japan is really unique in it's own way that it surprises me too so won't comment on that.
Peace out!
Omg, do you even read this? I honestly thought you were one of us just casually commenting here, but wow… should’ve known from the way you’re trying so hard to defend this . Anyway, no amount of context will ever justify a grown man blushing over a kid kissing and after rubbing dicks together like that. And the fact that you’re denying it’s pedophilic when it’s as clear as day? Unbelievable and if someone gonna say something like wanting to rape a kid then ofc I'll call them what they're "pedophile" it's not harsh labels, it's the truth.
Okay!(￣∇￣"), my bad! I guess.
So you guys ignore racism too huh? Just as expected.
Right, but there are definitely commenters that show proof of having pedophilic traits (ie outright sexualizing a child).
No romance tag? “Shounen ai” means boys love, essentially LGBTQ romance. This would count as a romance label.
Yeah, the comments are a mess
The term Shota refers to young boys. The con stems from the word complex (pronounced as konpurekkusu in japanese), it has the same meaning as English: being preoccupied with smtn/ obsessed/ exaggerated belief. Example: “She has a superiority complex”
In japanese its known for sexual attraction to the subject that comes before the suffix con, like lolicon shotacon etc.
In this case= A complex about young boys.
Big yikes!
Also, the rape comment is on the other pages under the name iloveshota, saying they wish there was smut and that they wanna rape the kid and all of us too
Hua Cheng fell in love as a child too but mxtx made them wait 800 years before making moves, but this author couldnt even make him the legal age?
LMAO BYE NOT THE DOWNVOTES BY PEDOS NAH YK I TRIED BEING NICE BUT I CANT DO THIS LMAO
They're mad at you bestie don't let them silence you queen!!
This story is so conveniently written. It features a young boy, but I think many people forget that its LABELLED AS A BL, because the teenager hasnt made any moves. An unrequited love, but still gay, hence the label, which is misleading. I think its because of this that some readers are willing to defend this manga.
Ive only seen him blushing back, but im not willing to read it to find out more.
God forbid he does make a move. This manga is titled shota, I doubt the kid will ever age.
Do you think we’re stupid lol? I’m not defending it because of some “unrequited love” bullshit. I’m defending it because they’re not real.
Hey genius, why dont you go say that to the pedos gooning to this shit? If you were stupid, it would have been better. Not real, sure, but the pedos in the comments saying they want to rape the kid and that they wish there was smut are real. Try explaining this story as a recommendation to your friend.
I didn’t directly say ppl defend it because of an unrequited love, but that the story of a childs silly crush and ‘wholesome moments’ makes you forget its labelled as a romance involving a 10 and 18 y old. This is me trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, and understand why an actual non-pedo could read this.
Why would I care about what people say about fictional characters lol.
damn you really defending this like your life depends on it.your effort is truly inspiring I too hope one day that I gain this level of passion though I do hope it’s for better reasons like not defending a manga who’s only plot is to sexualize a prepubescent child.
Bro take my advice and block this pedo bitch mellow, he defends this manga like a daily job under every fucking comment,almost everyone's aware that he's a pedo so save yourself the trouble and block this bitch.no use arguing with him you'll just be disappointed and go around in circles.
This guy Itiswhatitis told me to get raped and he still thinks he has any moral standing lol.
Not the pedo lying again to beg for sympathy, lol. Anyways, let’s see how many people actually give a fuck about your fake sob stories and pathetic excuses lmao.
If they’re “not real,” then why are you defending it? If it doesn’t matter, then it shouldn’t bother you what others say about it, right? You’re contradicting yourself. Nobody would care this much about what people say over something “not even real.” The truth is, you’re a pedophile. This manga portrays pedophilia as something cute, and when others criticize it, you take it as a personal attack because you feel called out. That’s why you defend it with your life ,so you can keep being a disgusting pedo in peace without anyone calling you out for it.
He actively defends cp disgusting pedo
I literally lost half my energy arguing with him the other day in another thread . He told us to “turn him in” but was too scared to even give us his local police number, because deep down he knows he’s a pedophile.
Then please tell me what you meant by "I hope you face the same shit"?
makes so much sense that he’s a man
I'm not a man or a pedo. Not everyone you dislike is a man.
Ikt This is why I'll always support misandry
I'm not a man lol. Just because I don't care to correct what pronouns you use for me doesn't mean I'm a dude.
All your arguments hinge on false assumptions you make about me. Why would I expect anything less though.
I’ll believe on the former, not so much on the latter you may not be a raging pedo but you’re definitely not a sane individual either.
Sure sure. /s
FR? Why are they getting so worked up, whats so hard to understand about pedophilia being bad bro these kindergarten dropouts istg
Thank you for defending me. Nah fr I keep seeing the same names defending the manga, theres this mellow guy and the iloveshota guy. Im still yet to see a reader calmly and logically explain their side. I mean, wouldnt you want to really make it clear that youre not a pedophile? I gave readers a way out too, trying to lay out a perspective in which a non pedo could actually read this, but no one took it and instead its “ion gaf about fiction characters
Valid question. They dont even defend themselves, they defend the manga… And seriously, the contradictions are insane. All the hardcore defenders ive seen use this same excuse of fiction vs reality. And yet, they spam the comments like its a full time job. Theres no rational defense either, its just using one bad trait to cover up another. How can ones morals be so selective? Its fine if its pedophilic because its fiction…?
It means justice; they hope pedophiles get the punishment they deserve. If you aren’t a pedophile this shouldn’t concern you.
You can clear up being misgendered, but not when it comes to being a pedophile??
They're openly admitting they're pedophiles lol. That iloveshota guy is even more unhinged and creepy. I'd suggest you block both of them ,mellow and iloveshota, because you can never make them understand, they're pedos. And I'm sure this mellow bitch will keep lying and repeating that I told him to get raped to beg for sympathy lol. They'll just keep going in circles.you can't expect pedos to actually have a functioning brain.
Is mellow sure that it wasn’t iloveshota telling them that Dw, I already knew these guys wouldn’t falter, a pedo is a pedo afterall. I mainly put my comment out there for people who rlly mightve been that clueless. But these two started bashing it. I was just curious to what theyd say to a more rational approach but nope, now im more concerned with finding this guys local police
Why would I need to prove myself to randos on the internet? You guys are more concerned with being right than what the facts are.
if you didn’t need to prove yourself then you wouldn’t have the need to go around replying to every comment section about how liking this crap is somehow not an indicator of your morality compass also please state the facts we would like to know because so far you’ve been repeating the crap over and over again
Dear author, first, change the title to Diddy Oni. Thank you.
Second, why is this marked as shounen ai?
I thought this would be: kid meets teenager, 20+ yrs later they meet again and fall in love. Nope. Clicked on chapter 123 and the kid is still a kid. Makes sense, this is titled “shota” after all. I open up another chapter and it seems like the teenager is even blushing?
Oh, but its fine, because he was conveniently written as an easily flustered character.
Seriously. If you want to write about an unrequited love, at least make the kid grow up, or don’t label it as a BL.
Did you expect for a quick time skip despite the title having shota in it?
Yes I did, because I don’t speak Japanese and didn’t check the translation prior. And also because I am not a pedophile.
And all this drama over 1 drunk scene too, smh. Even Lan Wangji wouldn’t act like this
If you search up “liking something because youve never had better” this manhwa will appear. I feel like this was so iconic back then because there was nothing else to read.
All I remember is that these two are so annoying and then a random ass island.
No cuz lowkey that's all I remember too, including that weird magic stone crap
MF I BEEN READING TS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL AND IM 20 NOW AND HE STILL HASNT CONFESSED
literally same
