Lots and lots of child porn and sexual violence against a child.

A fantastic story...absolutely ruined by child porn. And it's excessive. I have to assume the mangaka is a pedophile or caters to them, because there's gratuitous nudity and sexualization of a child. Within the first 4 chapters, she is almost raped and is then sexually assaulted...by a dog. Later on, the main character sexually assaults this girl as well. You can tell the author is a fucking misogynist both by what he puts in (dozens of panels of a naked child, with sexual violence committed against her by most characters who interact with her) and what he leaves out (goes out of his way to pixelate the penis of the child main character, despite showing the pubic hair and vulva of this poor girl). It's crazy how much pedophilia is put up with in Japan, and I don't trust anyone who likes this series.
