Manga about 40-something man’s relationship with daughter’s schoolgirl friend sparks controversy soranews24.com

Major publisher’s promotion of Musume no Tomodachi has some saying the company is encouraging an illegal relationship with a minor.
Most of the bullet points for the premise of publisher Kodansha’s Musume no Tomodachi manga read like pretty typical anime/manga storytelling tropes.
After Kosuke’s quick and clever thinking saves her from the situation, Koto offers to thank him later, but he chivalrously declines.
Instead, Musume no Tomodachi is serialized through Kodansha’s Comic Days manga app.
Oddly enough, the series first collected volume went on sale back in August without attracting any major controversy.
