For reference: the middle-school bit is here. http://mangafox.me/manga/oretama/v02/c014.1/14.html
And isn't the cut-off up to 15? *shrug* I'm not too good with this sort of stuff.
EDIT: Screw this, I'm putting this back up here.
(Damn, how many posts did I have to carry this over by?) Concerning content progression: I talked about the last two volumes in comparison to the first two because it's a progressive increase - by the time you hit volume 3 it's mainly masturbation and oral sex in each chapter (and the occasional act of penetration), lasting for about half a chapter each time, but it's only when you reach the last two chapters that penetrative sex is depicted in nearly every chapter.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.That first chapter did seem that much tamer than the chapters in the 30's and 40's I skimmed through.
http://manga.animea.net/my-balls-chapter-41-page-20.html This is her as a human, naked. I apologize for the picture. This is really hard to say, IMO.

Quest 64 threadYeah, but there's another bit in the same manga that gives her age as 16. So I suppose it's inconsistent or the translator just sucks. One or the other. Either way, 15-16 in appearance and much older mentally and emotionally and that's a far cry from 12.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick...Is that the right link? I'm pretty sure that's Satan (long story).
Oh well, let's assume she's looks around 15-16, which is kinda borderline.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.Well, she was in her human form there, which apparently looks younger. I don't know.
...Think the point is, the story sure doesn't portray that girl as a child, nor is she treated as one, so for all intents and purposes, she's not a child.

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)... Okay, was Elyse in her "human form" during any of the sex scenes?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.No. But she does turn human at the end. I fixed the link. Judge as you will.

Quest 64 thread... I'm still seeing Elyse as a flat-chested young adult.
Okay, answer this: does she actually act like a child?

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)No, she does not act like a child nor does the narrative treat her as one. There are jokes about her chest size making her look young and it gives her A-Cup Angst, but she's treated as an adult.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickI don't know, I was never young.
I'd say she acts age-appropriate for her apparent age (typical Tsundere attitude) which could go anywhere from teenager to young adult - aside from the whole "make male lead ejaculate" business.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.She slightly pouts, but that's about it. Definitely an adult in that sense.
Quest 64 threadOkay, so pedo-pandering's out.
Sorry, mang, but I'm just not convinced in giving My Balls (no pun intended) a devilhead.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Yes, there is a fair bit of sex in the sex comedy. No, it's not titillating in the least.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickWell, she does view his penis as a monster in-series often.
Moving on, then. Any other re-flags?
Quest 64 threadKomodin: No issue there - just wanted to make sure that the full range of content was adequately covered before we proceeded.
Shima: Well, I guess it's a mileage issue on my part then, because I thought it was potentially titillating. But if the majority of reviewers think otherwise, then assume that I'm the outlier in this case and carry on.
If the other 5P-ers maintain their stance on this after reviewing the evidence, then I have no issues with keeping it.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.By the way, I seriously hope none of you guys are planning on reflagging Oglaf...
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.melcarba flagged Ro Kyu Bu and Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchizuke Wo for re-review.
Pyrite also wanted Lotte No Omocha to be re-reviewed.
Oh, boy. What next: Kodomo No Jikan?
Anyway, can someone please remind me on what's the deal with Ro Kyu Bu?
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.Potentially titillating is no where close to the same ball park as "primary purpose of the work is arousal." Potentially titillating is irrelevant. Linoleum is potentially titillating. That phrase means nothing. Is the primary focus on arousal? Answer is a clear no.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickElementary-school girls, something about shower scenes, can't recall if there was proper discussion. Shall we take this to the Restoration thread to discuss accordingly?
Fair enough, but I'll pass on the linoleum. Anyway, so we can say that the majority of contributors in this discussion did not consider it to be aimed at arousal (myself as an outlier), and we'll move on.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.Lotte no Omocha isn't as bad as Kodomo no Jikan. You gave it an angel head, remember?
The only discussion we had on Ro-Kyu-Bu! was on this page.
She's Japanese Middle School age and the higher end of it. There's another bit somewhere that says she's supposed to look about 16. Remember their age range on middle school skews older than US.
It's a big issue with translation things when grade levels and expected ages for them don't translate right from one culture to another. Middle school is longer in Japan and High School is shorter.
