Okay, so Rumikos not automatically gonna be okay with it just because shes Japanese. How DOES she feel?
That’s been made very clear in the way she portrayed Miroku and Koharu. When everyone found out he had proposed to an eleven year old girl to bear his child when she got older, they were shocked, disgusted and revolted. The situation was used to solidify his character as a pervert and a lecher. They didn’t care if she was now fourteen and he was seventeen-they were still disgusted and thought I was taking advantage of her naivete. Even before then, there was Akane, who was relentlessly mocked for her crush on Dr. Tofu and later lost him to her sister Kasumi, who is around his age. Now does that sound like something that would’ve been written by someone who has no problem with this kind of thing? Nope. She’s made it pretty clear that she finds it ridiculous.
