lol

I think you misinterpurate the story? I think that Subaru gave JOY to the writer, I think the relationship between them was supposed be somewhat a family relationship, honestly yeah I thought it was a bit sus at first but it didn't seem like the writer like fell INLOVE INLOVE with younger Subaru it just seemed like the child gave him joy and when the child was gonna move away it probably felt like he wouldn't be able to feel much joy without the energetic child around him yk? And I understand that you think it might be borderline pedophilia because u literally had to read the chapters again but I think it's supposed to be a family bond love

I*

but he literally fell in love with a child? and even wrote a book about it. people are saying they had no sexual feelings to each other but loving a child is so weird and it’s pedo.

Again I think it was supposed to be pure? Not sexual at all, I don't think the writer at all intended to view the child in a sexual way or even exploit him, I just think he got attached to the kid because of how cheerful he was, and again Subaru when he got older viewed the writer in a sexual matter and even kissed the writer when he was back in Japan, the writer was suprised by that interaction. And loving a child isn't weird at all? The "love" they had was probably family type of love, but you're thinking of pedophilia love which I don't think is the case here at all, he says he will waits the kids arrival but later he doubts it alot, idk if this is the official translation or has been translated because sometimes the translations can be off but I don't think he's a pedophile for loving and playing with the child in a family bonding way because before the child was about to move tatsumi even said "they're gonna play with you alot more then", "theyre" I think means the parents, and the kid only really came up to the houses was because his parents couldn't play with him and he was trespassing into people's houses to make friends
