I LOVE the ending! (Spoiler)

This is like a big middle finger to the western fans who always criticize Asian people and how we do things. Here in Asia we don't have the age gap law thing. People are allowed to love and marry each other. They always judge us based on their laws and think that their laws and cultures are the best and the only right things in the world.

They hate pedophiles so much that it twisted their mindset. Sayu is around 16-18 and that's called a teenager, not a child. The man can't be a pedophile for dating a teenager. Many Asian countries allow people to marry around this age.

Now they can go cry on Twitter and cry to Lady Dimitrescu & Stifler's mother, them old lady lovers are gonna be disappointed.

What a wonderful ending.

Japan, the country of relevance, doesn't. At least not between adults and children. But who didn't see this ending coming? From the start it was just a badly written drama to romanticize a relationship between a JK and a salaryman. Sasuga light novels.

See? That's the problem. You people don't even understand terms in your own language.



Dating Sayu cannot make you a pedophile. It makes you an ephebophile and that's legal in many countries.

Even in the US/UK/AU or any countries that they believe they have higher morale than the evil Japanese, they always search for "teen" on porn sites. They just don't want to admit it because the term "pedophile" is being overused in the western world, so they turn around bashing the Japanese & Asians instead, in order to look good in their society.

Aggh - just found a partial translation of Vol.5

What a total cop-out...... 6/10.

Gotou had far more in common with Sayu than anyone would think and it explains why she acted as she did, turning down Yoshida and when she found out about Sayu staying at Yoshida's (she could have so easily been in Sayu's or her friends position if someone like Yoshida hadn't have stepped in when she was the same age as Sayu - they looked almost identical at that age).

It also shows that Yoshida hasn't matured relationship wise since dating AO so Gotou never stood a chance, in fact if Sayu hadn't been around he'd have dumped Gotou/Mishmina the second AO turned up, just so it'd be the same as it was.

The AO section cut out of the Anime was a huge red-flag that he was stuck in an idealised high-school relationship mode and that he'd not advanced to "adult dating" - also red-flagged by his inability to pickup on Mishmina's blatant, date me and I'll do anything you want approach.

At least with the time-skip Sayu is old enough that they wouldn't fall foul of the Toyko juvenile law where a teenager living with someone over 20 without parental consent is a federal offence).

Lazy writing, lazy assed open-ended writing.

I don’t think the ending of the light novel was that wide open. Sayu confessed to Yoshida and asked him to wait for her, he didn’t deny having feelings for her but later says he won’t wait for her (he said this because he expected that she would find someone younger than him), Sayu still says she will look for him regardless if he finds another girl. 2 years have passed and Yoshida still doesn’t have a gf and we see him and Sayu finally meeting once again, the fact that Yoshida did wait for her proves he still has feelings for her (same with Sayu, she didn’t find another guy and went to find Yoshida again). At the end they are back at living together but now as adults, I truly don’t understand how people are saying this is such an open ending. IMO is a “Your Name” kind of ending where we don’t see a kiss or something like that but it’s pretty clear what will happen.

I like sayu but I can't agree with people wanting her to end up with him because the motto of Yoshida was that he does not like younger girls and if he indeed choses sayu then that motto of his would have no point and I think the author might be considering this and so gotou will be the winner

People can change their mind and they can fall in love with anyone, especially when they spend a lot of time together.

There is realism in this writing.

I don't object to the Yoshida x Sayu ending but it seems so lazy and has been done to death....

As Sayu's mother was so bad it'd be better if there'd been a Yoshida x Gotou marriage and Sayu being a "found daughter" for the pair of them to support and protect.

As it is it just makes Yoshida into the biggest hypocrite around as he's effectively trained Sayu to be his perfect waifu and makes him no better than the men that abused her while she was on the run.

We all know who the sexually dominant one will be as Sayu has a ton more experience to Yoshida as he's only had sex with AO. Yoshida will be her simp, which looking at his relationship with AO is probably exactly what he wants.

With his flaws - no real woman would be happy with him for long.

I love "big chested, older women" - my arse, it was just a juvenile infatuation and Gotou's instinct was 100% correct....

If you want realism then the whole time Yoshida wanted sayu to just get on the right path . He is like a father figure to sayu.

Also, realistically lonely guy who just discovered how nice is to have somebody in your life would never skip chance with hot big-tiddy MILF onee-san who likes him back for two fricking years in case his temporary-adopted daughter want to get together with him after all.
At least make him fall in coma after accident and wake up when Sayu finishes college, it would be more believable.

I totally agree, Yoshida was in need and Sayu appeared in his life as an angel. He and Gotou love each other but the script is lazy to develop anything between the two of them and prefers to end it as cliché as possible.

It would be much more amazing to see an ending between Gotou and Yoshida with a child and in the future Sayu taking care of him as a nanny or big sister.

It has a perfect ending. Just deal with it.

And it also makes perfect sense. When people fall in love, it defeats all of their reasons. There's no need to explain anything. You love, you sleep together, you marry.

You can write 500 pages of reasons why it should be Gotou, but the man loves Sayu, that's it.

This excuse could be used for any dumb or nonsensical writing, it's like using "Look, the wizard did it" when someone points out plot holes in your fantasy book. The task of good story is to make the audience empathize with characters and their choices , not to just say "look, they did that and that's it".

you are right man, I don't know why people think he should end up with sayu if it is for that she is the best girl or whatever I don't care it dosent mean best girl has to win and in this case sayu is a child who was on the wrong path and Yoshida just wanted to help her get to the right path. The whole point of the story was that Yoshida and sayu both helped each other to get good in their lives a perfect father-daughter relationship and people want him to end up with sayu...

It's totally different from wizard's work excuse.

People don't really need a reason to fall in love, and it changes what they used to be.

That's humans. That's why incest happen, love defeats reasons. It's more realistic for Yoshida to end up loving Sayu.

If you're on an isolated island with an ugly woman for awhile, you'll fall for her.

Even if that woman is your sister, there's no guarantee either that you won't.

It's just how humans are. The author told a perfectly realistic story.

OK, but then Yoshida was on isolated island equivalent with Gotou and didn't do anything with her, even though he loved her for few years already and still loved her even after she dumped him with fake boyfriend, and in few months he decided to wait for years for his new questionable love interest despite not rejecting Gotou.

So, is he the type to default to available targets - which after Sayu left and went home means Gotou and Mishima, though the last wasn't his type apparently, but former definitely was - or is he the "eternal love for the one and only woman in his life" type, in which case why did he turned around on Gotou so quickly after years of chasing and changed to girl he couldn't look at as a woman month ago?

The writing just doesn't support the development. It's like the scene where Yaguchi tried to rape his adopted daughter moment before, and Yoshida just let rapist berate him instead of barely keeping himself from beating asshole black and blue. The character actions seem to be divorced from their circumstances.

I've seen some believable age-gap May-December pairings, but Higehiro doesn't do enough work to sell it in satisfactory way, especially since it started with complete denial of the relationship, which means more work to convince viewers that the change was in the right direction.

There is no father and daughter relationship here, you just misinterpreted the relationship between them from the start or you didn't notice the Romance tag, from the start this is a romance anime about adults and high school girls. but don't worry they will meet again when Sayu is an adult.

Big oof, y'all are trying real hard to make a groomer look good here. Lazy story writing from an author that wanted to use an edgy topic as a story hook but didn't have the balls to carry out what they set in motion. The only real answer was Gotou or Ao; Yoshida just ended up a hypocrite at the end of it all. RIP to a fallen chad.

Also, big ups to the dude that literally Googled pedophile to try and make a case for falling in love with a 17 year old. Take a second to contemplate that sentence. The whole waiting for someone to not be a child anymore is weird af.

It'd have been more believable if Asami had made a move on Yoshida once Sayu was out of the way - she's the only other female to get into his apartment more than once and they get on alright.

As it is Asami plays cupid and sets up the now "Adult" Sayu to meet the still single Yoshida under the same pole - where she basically makes him the same offer as when they first meet, and when she enters his apartment says "I'm Home!".

He's had over two years to go out with Gotou, Mishmina or AO and he's done nothing apart from work and go home on his own every night and go for the occasional meal with Gotou - He's hopeless, a emotionally stunted individual, Sayu is probably the only one that he could end up with as they're both completely stupid.

5/10 and that's being generous.

All I see above me are some bitter shippers who are whining because their favourite (inferior) girl lost to best girl Sayu. It's funny that you guys thought that anyone other than Sayu even had a shot. It's especially funnier that none of you have even read any of the untranslated volumes because of your complete inability to do so yet are complaining about the believability of the writing. Keep seething for eternity.

They'll never learn. How many anime that we have these people failing to look at the poster or notice that who are the focuses of the show, then they ship the inferior supporting girls instead of the main heroine.

Then when the show ends, they cry about how it doesn't make sense for the lead male and lead female character to love each other.

It's like watching Nagatoro-san but you ship other girl than Nagatoro to be with Senpai.

i dont ship yoshida with any particular girl my whole point was that if yoshida did end up with sayu then the whole message and point or theme you coould say of the story would get ruined it is that you people just watch the show for shipping and not the actual story and themes. yoshida help sayu find the path she strayed in return even sayu helped yoshida to become a good man and not a NEET.

Everyone has a opinion if they don't like the Main girl why would they ship them duh and why would someone just make an opinion from seeing the poster is there anywhere written that you need to ship the girl which is present in the poster. you people are the real idiots who dont have their own opinion and just see the poster and say "Oh looks like they are the main focus i guess i'll ship them" you people dont have your own choice and you call us idiots. Atleast we make our own choices not like you people whose choices are determined by a poster. and the point about a side character they are side character for a reason and that reason is to make some people love them if they don't like the main girl they could ship that side character.

Don't pretend you are smarter because you are shipping some inferior side character. You failed to follow the narrative of the story and ended up self inserting as the MC so you want him to end up with the (inferior) girl of your own personal preference. Next time read the story without self inserting.

Don't pretend you are smarter because you are shipping some inferior side character. You failed to follow the narrative of the story and ended up self inserting as the MC so you want him to end up with the (inferior) girl of your own personal preference. Next time read the story without self inserting.


Did you even read what I said earlier I said this "I don't ship Yoshida with any particular character" that's what I said. And the one who is feeling superior is you getting cocky that you support the main girl and feeling superior. And you should not call side characters inferior they could be inferior from your perspective but to some people they could on par with the main character. My problem is that there was not even any development for their love relation to start they were shown as a pure father daughter type realation I can agree sayu loves Yoshida but he thinks of her as a child and that was all that was shown in the anime and if you still saw love not in parental way then it just that you see everything in lead way

They aren't supposed to have a father-daughter relationship. It's just a basic method of romance storytelling: you make the main characters seem to can't get along or don't have any chemical at first, then they develop their feelings and end up loving each other in the end.

In Toradora!, they also looked like father-daughter to the point that it annoys the other characters that had to tell him he's not her father, but most people knew from the start that they'll end up together (of course, some people shipped the wrong match up in that show as always).

It's your own fault if you fail to understand what's the story is trying to tell you.

I LOVE the ending! (Spoiler)

This is like a big middle finger to the western fans who always criticize Asian people and how we do things. Here in Asia we don't have the age gap law thing. People are allowed to love and marry each other. They always judge us based on their laws and think that their laws and cultures are the best and the only right things in the world.

They hate pedophiles so much that it twisted their mindset. Sayu is around 16-18 and that's called a teenager, not a child. The man can't be a pedophile for dating a teenager. Many Asian countries allow people to marry around this age.

Now they can go cry on Twitter and cry to Lady Dimitrescu & Stifler's mother, them old lady lovers are gonna be disappointed.

What a wonderful ending.


" Asia we don't have the age gap law thing."

It's an obvious ending I guess, but it will still be fun to see how they get there.

It can be legalized. For a girl over 16 but not over 18, she can get married if her parents allow it.

And there's no age gap law. So, technically, a 16 year-old girl can marry a 90 year-old man. And if they're over 18 they can marry anyone of any age.

And my point about the term "pedophilia." It's not the right word. Even if Sayu's mom or brother report Yoshida to the police, he'll be charged for taking away a minor from her parent, but not as a "pedophile," because Sayu is 17 and thus cannot make Yoshida a pedophile. While a lot of westerners will brand Yoshida a pedophile anyway, because they don't even know the meaning of the word in their own language. Pedophilia means being attracted to prepubescent children (around 10-11 years old or younger).

the whole show is set up for a pedo romance so obviously it'd be Sayu

Gotou would be a realistic choice. Sayu would be a generic hero-heroine-get-together choice.

Now people have started to find snippets of Vol 5 on Reddit etc all the "He's a Pedo" baiters have come out to play.....

Sayu was 17 and Yoshida mid-20's when they first met, he said he didn't have any sexual desires for her and all the time she stayed at his flat he made no sexual advances (although by the festival episode you could clearly see their feelings were changing) - but he still stood by his morals and that she had to go home and he wasn't into having sex with schoolgirls.

An adult fantasising sexually over teenagers is defined as an "ephebophile" not a "paedophile" - who is interested in pre-pubescent children.

Yes he's breaking the law in Tokyo as she is still classed as a minor. As he hasn't got her parents consent and he's over 20 he would fall foul of the Tokyo Juvenile laws and what he's doing is a federal offence.

But She goes back home and stays there until she graduates, then she goes back to Tokyo for Yoshida and this is the key bit - when she is legally classed as an adult!

The worst Yoshida could be accused of is grooming Sayu to become his perfect Waifu.

The adaptation is terrible and the LN is average at best.

I'm happily single and Ace.

And it would still feel weird no matter his age.

It would just be nice to have a refreshing change where a relationship doesn't become another edgy romance.

what is Ace????

I think that if he didn't that she might just go into a deep depression. If she was younger and he was able to be her guardian. Then I would lean more away from it. Both the women that like the MC would definitely make much better mothers to Sayu.
