>>57773581Sorry paedo, but they very much are in my country. To the point, I'd get hauled up on child abuse charges for hitting a 17 year old as a 41 year old. And Japan were actually more stringent on when a child was considered an adult than my country was up until very recently, so it's really unsurprising a series which was based off an inherently Japanese collective life experience similarly drew from real-world Japanese society regarding when the protagonists it chose to portray were considered as having entered into their majority.
Must be amazing to learn those jailbait teenage girls in the school uniforms are in fact still children in Japan. Even when they're 17 and blessed with the puberty growth spurt that leaves them looking like a mid-20's porn starlet.
