I think that's the fastest I've been interested in something because of the art, and then completely dissuaded from it.

Dis is purposefully making it sound shittier than it is. The thing is about wizards and the girl in question has shoes that make her into an adult.

i feel like both sides are talking past each other, perhaps explaining somewhat complicated premises in shitposty ways arent very conducive to conversations, and people should be more straightforward especially when dealing with thorny issues. peace.

The dude still being into her knowing that she's 8 is still pretty weird though. Thankfully that's not where the story goes, but that relationship is one of the parts about Ran that I didn't really care for.

i don't have 100% memory of the manga but I know the guy falls her adult form not knowing she's a kid, and their relationship is not like physical/sexual. that aspect of the plot reminded me more of series like full moon wo sagashite or tokimeki tonight, rather than being anything insidious.

haha...oops. anyway yeah, it wasn't a dealbreaker for me considering it's only a small part of the series and both the writing and art are otherwise great

while i can understand the desire to make what the peasants refer to as "jokes", making people think a manga is about literal pedophilia when it is not, is kinda hosed up. fare well on your quest, adventurer.

Why would you trust a review by "I never watch or read more than three episodes/chapters of anything" Dis?

Yesterday I saw that manga about a 30 year old man who one day wakes up and has become a primary school girl. It seemed like a really bad idea so put it back again.

The show dangers itself, because it tries so hard to subvert ... all the things... making everything so completely stupid, and leaves it up to the viewer to decide if it's cringe or if it works... and it's pushing all my buttons. All aboard toot toooot

I said it in a very hot take way but uh, from how people who like it have talked about it and the synopsis online I've always gotten the picture it was a romance manga about a witch girl who turns adult with magic but is literally 8, and the adult man who willingly dates her knowing this. Which is why I haven't read it cuz uh, that's weird.
