tense

2.0

While the magical underground fighting plot for this manga is intriguing, the romance elements are incredibly disturbing. The younger boy is stated to be eleven, while the older boy is stated to be twenty. I have a difficult time understanding how this series has been so popular for two decades in spite of the shameless way the creator approaches their relationship.

I am so disappointed. I had three volumes on my shelf for years thinking this was a good series once I'd get around to it. Picked it up just now and...no. This is so incredibly problematic that I at least have a little more respect for Black Butler because at least Sebastian and Ciel weren't official canon meanwhile random ass stranger adult man is making out with 12 year old kemonomimi by page 10. This is grooming: the manga. Main guy isn't even likeable in the first few pages because he's just a dick to people around him for no reason and I'm supposed to root for him? Maybe when I was 12 I might have liked this but no, its aged terribly and I'm an adult enough now to say this ain't it.

At least I have space now for more better written manga on my shelf now.
