Isn't this a bit of a stretch that leads to assumptions if anything?

Also, while I haven't read the novels, clearly the anime isn't the best representation of the novels themselves from my understanding. Unless you have read the novels and can actually prove as such. But I highly doubt it being the case.

Along with that, it doesn't prove anything. His history with writing the series and the relationship with his current wife has nothing to do with it to be honest. I'm just saying because this all seems more of assuming than actually coming to a conclusion.

Also this only leads to baseless assumptions than anything and that leads to nothing. Both for the author, and the person you're trying to respond to.

Edit: I think you MIGHT have read the novels, however. This doesn't prove much of your point considering they're two different things.

So only 2 series and from what I remember, Nourin was set in highschool, so comparing that with Ryuuou no Oshigoto is a bit of a stretch personally.

Here's the thing that breaks the argument, even if he wrote these things, that does not equate to such. For all we know, there could be more to it. We have no dates for them being together, and even then it seems like they knew what they were deciding through.

And again, I think you are just jumping the gun here. Seeing how this doesn't seem like something blowing out of proportions.

Oh yeah btw: I saw what you wrote there regarding of the 3gatsu and Ryuuou comparison. They're hardly comparable (and no do not give me one is good and the other is shit, there's no way around that). 3gatsu especially on 2nd season focuses more on the characters than the actual shogi, where as the shogi part is more of a subplot element.

Aka is not the main importance of the anime.

Ryuuou actually focuses on it more than 3gatsu ever did (by no means great, but still something worth noting) especially given that 3gatsu's main focus is the drama, especially 2nd season when the entire shogi part is not that relevant as much.

I will agree that Ryuuou no Oshigoto isn't amazing. I won't deny that (heck for someone that enjoyed it I had issues), but maybe this is more of overblowing because there's no legit connection to the conclusion. Just because he does it that does not equate to "pedophile" as a pedophile by definition would be attracted to actual children.

In Watsuki's case, its completely different because he was exposed for having over 100 discs full of porn with underaged children, which is the line that should never go across. In the guy's case this is more jumping the gun since there's no concrete evidence of such, or becoming one. Unless there's further information about it.

And also before you go onto my case for defending the guy (which apparently being the case, however its more so clarifying since there's nothing), well here's the thing: As far as I'm seeing, there's really no real connection to make to such conclusions. It's baseless assumptions connecting to work that leads to real life, even though we don't have any information for example how many years were they together. For all we know, it would be few years before hand. We don't know specifics to make such conclusions.

Okay but what does that change anything of my argument though? You're saying that it is in depth but it's less focused on. My point is that the fact that 3gatsu has more focus on the drama itself, where as the shogi part is only a part that enhances said drama. I just see the shogi part as a way to enhance the actual focus on, and even then (personal opinion) if I have to say something... even then 3gatsu's shogi aspect in itself is boring at best.

Subjectivity is debated of course, and I understand that it is utilized but even I didn't even liked it that much, I'd say. But again, its more of enhancement rather than an important factor imo.

I don't think the fact that a 9-year old going and participating in shogi is inherently a bad thing. Or well becoming a pro. I think the main problem mostly stems from the execution rather than that in itself.

And I am not defending the sexualization in itself (even though I got so used to it since I watched a lot, as long as it doesn't legitimately people irl I don't give much of a shit anyways) but it's just bad to assume what he does irl or what he decides to do. That's the entire point I'm trying to get across. Which is REALLY baseless to assume things by jumping the gun doing that.

There's nothing other than what he writes, and that's it. And when people are trying to get across with it, people will jump on others for it. I get that morals are a thing, but this is a lot to where I actually can't stomach it. Again, you jumped onto someone for saying something against what others said even though its self-explainatory. His writing style (in a lot of cases) =/= Him as a person. This is about the people calling someone a pedo for writing something that not a lot of people are fond of, and people making pretty poorly-executed jokes that comes off as more as jabs than anything. Trust I love me some good ol' pot-shots but these don't come off rather well.

You can argue that writing stuff like this is a form of expression and perception of each one of the authors but that wouldn't always be the case. Who knows.

You can have your set of standards for writing, I have my own as well. And that is completely fine. But again, this is all very baseless since that doesn't lead to anything. A work does not determine one's own self. This is also coming from someone that had read and watched so much of these type of stuff and I'm rather inmune to it at this point, but I don't go off like that.
