I read that before I posted, actually. I didn't find it convincing. Yes, people under eighteen have sexual desires and urges. (Gasp, shock!)
That doesn't mean I think it's awesome to write a cute, lulz-worthy manga about a sexy little panty-flashing eight-year-old who really, really wants to be molested.
I have a feeling the people who are comparing this manga to "Lolita" have actually never read "Lolita." The whole damn point of "Lolita" is that HH is deluded; he looks at Lolita and sees a temptress, actively trying to seduce him, but she's *not actually*-- that's just what he tells himself so that he can feel morally justified in having sex with her. "Lolita" treats the subject of underage sexuality seriously. Not for "lulz."
