I just looked it up, and I haven't found anything too bad so far.

I'm wondering the same thing. I read a few volumes of this back in high school and I hardly remember anything about it.

I remember watching the anime at the university's anime club, and enjoying it, but it was such a long time ago.

The lead guy is a douchebag.

I've never read this manga, but that's the default answer for all shoujo manga.

TV Tropes says his mother is horribly abusive to him, so he might get a pass on that.

He, well BOTH the main characters start off kind terrible? Granted I like the short lived anime better, but it's good for what it is and actually addresses effects of abuse.

That doesn't give him a pass.

he rapes her tho so...

Oh. Urgh.

No he doesn't.

yes he does, dumbass.

Not that I remember, fuck face.

stop reading tvtropes

pls

Seriously. TVTropes is a steaming pile of shit.

There were various things about it that I found 'problematic', to summarize a fairly long list with one catch-all SJW buzzword (though the epilogue warrants a special mention for being skeevy as hell). Yet nobody ever seems to think it's worth giving even a passing mention to the questionable stuff when handing out gushing recommendations.

Whether it personally bugs them or not, I honestly kinda question the judgement of people who can't even acknowledge why this or that element might bother other people, and maybe warrant a word of warning about.

nobody ever seems to think it's worth giving even a passing mention to the questionable stuff

Including, apparently, you.

To be fair, the OP isn't actually recommending Kare Kano, and it seems most of their frustration lies with people who do without mentioning those things.

I'd put 'complaining about the problematic parts' ahead of 'reccing the series' on the 'must actually talk about the problematic parts' hierarchy, personally.

I'm not understanding you, I'm sorry. ^^;

I think that kamino meant was: OP is complaining about how reccers don't comment on the "problematic elements" of the series when they rec it, and OP thinks that's a really important aspect of it. However, OP then COMPLETELY neglects to mention what any of these "problematic elements" are. So kamino's point is, if the problematic elements are so important that OP expects them to be laid out in a rec, then WHY THE HECK are they not important enough for OP to lay them out in his/her complaint about the former. Does that make more sense?

^ Same anon.

Or to put it even more simply, "the burden of discussing the problematic elements should fall on the person complaining about them, not on the people reccing the series."

Only 'cause I was trying to avoid invoking the "tl;dr" reaction, really.

In short, the ending of Twilight that had everyone frothing over how "pedophilia" and "grooming" and so forth? - the epilogue of this manga is pretty much like that, only without even the supernatural excuse of 'imprinting'. I read it with the biggest D: face ever.

(There was other stuff in the series that other people might consider worth trigger warnings - child abuse, the male lead being a controlling asshat, questionable consent... some of which, as has already been noted, is so standard in the romance genre that you kinda expect not to be warned for it, but still.)

blergh, that does sound bad.

I never found anything problematic about it. But you keep on being just like the people on Tumblr, OP.

Seriously. I remember that series being cute and no where near problematic the way OP is sounding.
