This is stupid. It's built around a bait-and-switch where the entire set-up makes it seem like it's some perverted pedophile about to record sex acts with this young girl: the bed, the asking the girl to call fem "daddy," the film only being for personal use for when the man's sad, the middle school uniform fe bought for fem to wear, the buying things for fem in exchange, the assurance that they can stop if it gets too painful. But then, it's revealed that the situation is actually entirely different and not perverted at all. Why was the story set up this way? It doesn't create a sense of irony or humor. I guess it could sorta create a sense of relief, but I honestly wasn't even expecting it to be sexual (because of anime-planet's lack of sex-related tags and because of the way the synopsis was phrased). So I just felt like the author was unnecessarily trying to fuck with feir reader's heads, and I don't appreciate that.
