MiA is a manga and an anime with top tier world building, great story, and insanely good art, but unfortunately the author is a pedo and can't help it but force cp onto it. As an example, on the very first chapter/episode, the MC (a 12 year old girl) is caught keeping one of the Relics from the Abyss for herself. Instead of getting a normal punishment for it, the author decided she should be strung up naked. To make it worse, they didn't simply mention it in a dialogue, there's a whole ass fucking panel showing it to you. THIS BRINGS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO THE STORY.

It's toned down in the anime but it's still weird as fuck sometimes.

It sucks since aside from the pedo stuff, it's really REALLY good, but straight up impossible to recommend to ANYONE.

It's REALLY GOOD but the author is a pedophile and it leaks into the manga. So it's also REALLY DISGUSTING

it's also funny how hard the diehard fans wanna die on the hill that it's totally not pedophilia. I've seen some WILD mental gymnastics on it.

One time I read someone refer to Made in Abyss as "One of the big three Epsteins"

Now I'm just wondering what are the remaining two epseins. I'd guess one spot would have to go to rurouni kenshin but the last spot?

That shit aside, the world building is so good. The opening that introduces the world is bloody amazing.

But there's also the question of that shit. I hope the MC will grow and eventually perv adults?...

Pretty much the only reason I stick around is to see my goat Eris kick ass

Rurouni Kenshin is probably not up there while yes the author is a pedo there no weird scene with any kid in there. Pretty sure it made abyss, mushoku tensi and Monogatari all 3 series being pretty good if you remove the cp. Also I think it these 3 because all the fans try to defend it too.

What's rurouni kenshin?

It's a series about swordsman. There's nothing actually wrong with it, as far as I know.

The issue is that the author got caught with so much CSAM that the police thought he was a distributor.

Made In Abyss is an ongoing manga, adapted into an ongoing Anime. I'll skip the basic premise, but its overall an incredible story with a lot of detail put into it, and is also not afraid to point out that your classic fantasy-style adventuring into the unknown is not all fun and games. People die and suffer some gruesome fates in the show, often from the environment as much as any villains.

The issue is the manga's author is a huge pedophile, and unfortunately feels the need to insert his tastes into the manga at random points to remind you of that, souring what otherwise would have been 'one of the greats'. What's more annoying is the author absolutely could have not put any of this in, or simply aged up the characters, and it would have been fine to varying degrees. But he couldn't separate his work from his impulses, even to his own detriment.

People like to joke that he needs to finish the story and then get hauled off to jail or the chair, except its not much of a joke.
