Vampire Knight, Volume 3 by Matsuri Hino

Well! That was terrible!
There's no way to put this lightly, so I won't beat around the bush. Kaname is a creep, and likely a child predator, and he should be nowhere near Yuki. Any reader thinking their relationship to be romantic is also a creep by extension. This volume is mainly focused on flashbacks showcasing the past between the two characters.
Where Yuki is explicitly a small child and Kaname is already a grown adult.
He has known her since she was about six years old and it's completely unclear when he started having sexual feelings for her. Tell me, Kaname, did you want to kiss her before or after her age hit the double digits? I genuinely want to know because this looks BAD.
So, so bad.
This man was a part-time babysitter, essentially. And he wants to fuck her.
And we as an audience are supposed to want him to fuck her.
And, from what I can see, most of the audience does want that.
What the hell?
How is anyone okay with this?
Are readers so blind? Or is the shipping so powerful they don't care that Kaname was lusting for a girl not old enough to feed herself?
The romanticization at play here is deplorable and I've officially lost my enjoyment of the "cringe" in this series.
