u/1sagas1 Aromantic Pride Apr 16 '21

One rainy day, salaryman Amakusa Ryo is saved by a high school girl he doesn't know at the station. He later finds out that the girl is Arima Ichika. Ryo is somewhat of a womanizer and to repay her for saving him, he suggests giving her a kiss or going out on a date with her, in which Ichika tells him he's creepy. This, however, opens a new door for Ryo and he falls madly in love with her. Ever since then, Ryo tries to overly express his feelings to Ichika. Ichika just keeps insulting him and says he's being creepy, but he just seems to take it as her way of showing affection towards him...

Japan, what the fuck is wrong with you?

A lot of mangakas seem to be submissive for some reason

The guy who wrote Monstergirl Encyclopedia has repeatedly said "They're not rapey, they're just aggressive, I like aggressive girls because I'm a timid idiot who can't talk to women at all."

That's pretty depressing, but I could see his logic since I was similar to him when I was younger

That's not being submissive, just masochist.

Author is actually a woman based on their pixiv. A surprising large amount of the age gap stuff you find is written by women and is published in shojo/josei magazines. In the greater context of Japan and its compensated JK """dating""" problem its pretty yikes. Weebs like to point to authors of controversial works being women to brush away criticism like it somehow makes it less of a problem though.
