Age of consent in Japan is a confusing topic to cover and it’s somehow brought up often in this website. There are a few laws covering this (maybe around 3-4) and they overlap, meaning some say that the legal age could be 18/13/depending on situations... But I will say that are many provisions which allow anyone to go after someone who has sex underage. In most of the country the legal age is 18 but it does depend on the prefecture
Now they’re not wrong saying 13 is the legal age bc it might be true within different prefectures or depending on the legal interpretations, but it’s a very vague answer and makes it seem like ALL of Japan is 13
Wait....is uke still 17?
