Is Mituski too young for her love? (*Full Moon Spoiler!*)

I know what you mean about her seeming capable of having those kinds of emotions at such a young age. I sort of accepted this as her gaining the maturity of a 16 year old girl when she became full moon. Even though she seemed more like a 12 year old when she was actually full moon and vice versa. The memories she had of Eichi seemed to be just normal feelings of liking someone but were amplified by her current age whenever she remembered him. From what I've gathered it's not irregular for woman in japan to marry men much older than themselves. Just cultural differences I guess. Very Happy

i don't think she fell in love with echi when she was 7. She had feelings for him since they were good friends. I think she reliezed she loved him when he left her and that she missed him so much. Thats only my opinion.

That makes sense, and certainly explains how she could recognize her feelings for Takuto so readily.

I felt the same thing about the age difference. I didn't really understand how Eichi could fall in love with a girl who was 7. Maybe he saw her as more of a friend then lover =/.

well i suppose there are no restrictions or (age) limits to love...perhaps he just fell in love with her as a person (not her age) since she was so innocent and cheerful.....then again i could be crazy :shock:

that what was bugging me was (read not further if you haven't watched Full moon to the very end!) :

what the hell is takuto supposed to do with a 13 year old girlfriend?
i mean, he's in his early 20 Rolling Eyes

i agree that the time difference wouldn't THAT bad if he were um .. 52 and she 40
i can understand that they fell in love, but imagine that the anime would get continued, how weird would it look if a 22 year old would date a 13 year old? >.<

what WOULD he do with a thirteen year old girlfriend? i think they'd get over the age difference tho since hes sooo cute!!! ^^; and also, they went through a lot with each other, and he really DOES love her Smile

I didn't feel weird about it at all. I never really thought about it until now. *thinks* I still don't think it's weird. I felt that the love between the couples were real and something trivial like age shouldn't get in the way. Love can't be help.

I just thought of something else.

In the manga Izumi died when he was a little kid and when he because a shinigami he looks the same age as Takato and Meroko. When your a shinigami how do you know what age you are? and know when a relationship is approprete*sp?*

Ah! Maybe it was that there wasn't one until the '60's and then it was 13 and then they changed it--or maybe it was that it was 13 until the '60's.

What I mean is, there seems to be a general line drawn at the age of 13--we're still considered children in the US, but that doesn't seem to be the case in Japan.

In Hungary the 'legal' age is about 18...
But i think if there wwere such a cute girl, like Mitsuki, even I could fall in love with her (even though im 18, almost 19), so once again age doesnt matter.

First of all, I wonder if everyone agree on "age of consent". Do you mean the age of legally having sex (without the guy getting arrested even if it is consented), or the age of getting married? I am fairly certain that the age of getting married in Japan is 16. If you are talking about the age of having sex, at least I do not see them doing it on screen Very Happy

As for romance in such a young age, isn't plenty of people have their first boyfriend/ girlfriend in their junior high (12-15)? The only difference is that the characters treated their first love more seriously. But remember, Romeo and Juliet is certainly at their early teens, and don't even forget the famous hikaru genji and Murasaki.

I don't know if it was as much love as it was admiration if you're considering girls younger than prepubescent. But in the sense of a big brother-type figure, then yeah, it's possible that she could have had a sense of affection in that sense. Probably over time, it grew to an idealistic notion of love, especially if she harbored that affection or just had that sense of missing him in absence.

I wonder how I missed this conversation too Sad

On the Takuto, being 22 or so and Mitsuki being 13, why can't that be? A 9 year difference in age that is not that much. I know people with more age difference.
Besides I would find it a bit weirder if Takuto was 30 or 40 and Mitsuki being 13, that happens to but well I find it a bit weird.
Anyway, love is what counts, love doesn't have age borders. Well that is for me, but ok I would find 20 or 30 years of difference a bit long.
You would be in another age generation and be doing other things then the other person.

I agree with rose, that when the time Mitsuki and Elchi met, it is more of an affection. But then Mitsuki thought about Elchi every day (she don't have much friends before the series start) and after a couple years it became love. (I think this pattern is quite common in anime, which the guy being nice to a girl at a very young age, then years later the girl come at the guy saying she is in love with the guy. e.g. Mayu vs Kaoru in Ai Yori Aoshi)

About the age gap, Takuto is not the most mature 22 years old, while Mitsuki is way mature than a 12 years old. I guess both their mental age is about 16-18?

Mitsuki's love for Eichi is more pronounced in the manga.

you are never too old/young to fall in love. however how you demonstrate that love is definitely subject to law.

in these types of anime series, I never think too much of it. I was absorbed into the innocent love story of her and Takuto. This series was aimed for a younger audience in Japan.
