This is a pretty standard age-gap yuri manga, with a decent story. It's about a girl that longs for adulthood, and an adult that shows her how imperfect and immature adults can be.
Although I am a fan of Nanatsu-sensei's current artwork, I though the art in this manga could have been better. Sometimes, the body proportions and facial expressions feel off.
I felt like I had to write this comment, to somehow counter-balance the other reviewer, who thinks "there's a lot that's interesting about it" despite giving it 1/10 (lol), and seems to be trying to pass their own projections as objective facts about this work.
I can't believe this has to be pointed out, but this is clearly not a "justification of real pedophilia". Not only because it's a work of fiction, of the kind that we see many times in the manga medium, but also because the term doesn't apply at all to the story here presented. I understand that for some people setting aside the emotional reactions and picking up a dictionary might be too much of an effort, but please do look up the definition of "pedophilia".
I also don't see any "reframing of trauma as horniness". The feelings of emotional turmoil and horniness coexist in the character, and they are both depicted. People's feelings aren't black or white. Someone can both feel uneasy and excited about a situation/relationship.
In conclusion, I think this is a decent work. The artwork could have been better, and the story is fairly simple, so it doesn't get more than 6/10 from me. If this work doesn't make you uncomfortable... don't worry, you're fine. Beware of anybody who tries to tell you how you should feel about a manga 🙂
Wow, this one is uh... I don't even know where to start really.
This story takes the standard age gap yuri, but dives a lot deeper into what it would actually look like. The problem is that it otherwise keeps the standard arc of that sub-genre.
This is a really uncomfortable but morbidly fascinating read. The young lead is clearly a child, the older adult clearly a predator. There are multiple scenes of the younger lead essentially acting traumatized, but reframed as horny instead.
Read completely at face value, there's some interesting themes and characters. Unfortunately, you really can't shake the feeling while reading this that this feels like justifications for real world pedophilia.
I'm not judging anyone for liking this work necessarily; there's a lot that's interesting about it. But this work should make you very uncomfortable in a way that the author didn't intend.
