Takamada letting go of his inhibitions this time around scared me way more than the first 20 chapters did... This manga's ability to put me in a complete state of horror to horny to philosophical intrigue and then back around again is insane, not to mention the rare occasion a scene or interaction actually moves me to tears. learning about these bizarre characters and the development of their relationship has been an interesting ride and I am genuinely elated seeing their dynamic evolve.
I feel like reading a story with young, flawed characters on a complicated journey of self-discovery and morality is a more interesting experience than the majority shit I've read on this website... Thats not to say this is well written, cause it isnt really... But definitely an upgrade.
If you actually believe anyone who reads this is a pedo then it makes sense why you'd feel upset and want to barrage those people and this story with heavy accusations, but liking this kind of content doesn't necessarily say anything about a person's real life attractions or values. Real life circumstances like this would make me cringe and gag and if the older dude actually did anything to a child I'd probably have enough rage in me to straight up kill him (I'm sure everyone here can agree that you do not fuck with children). BUT, I've been exposed to shotacon/incest/rape/gore/etc. hentai as a little kid with hypersexuality issues and a knack for weird things (not an ideal combination clearly), and it's all kinda become it's own little taboo category of interest in my brain that only exists within the realm of art and fictional story (and that I unfortunately never grew out of, but I've found is better to embrace than shame yourself for [it just creates more problems]). Just thinking about the shit that happens in those different genres though happening in real life is abhorrent and disgusts me to no end. IDK, the human brains fucking weird, but I'm confident most people here have similar-ish reasons and aren't just full blown pedophiles (let's not diminish the word like we did with grooming yea?).
