I would probably never have gone near Loveless had I not watched the anime when I was the same age as Ritsuka. :/ But I came across a copy of the manga this year and went "oh, nostalgia" and read it expecting lots and lots of creepy problematic stuff, and there really kind of wasn't! The characters do problematic stuff (oh so much problematic stuff, esp. Ritsuka's older brother) but it's dealt with pretty well.

I think I am able to put up with Ritsuka being twelve because he suffers the crippling hardship of being the only emotionally mature character in the whole thing (with possible exceptions of Soubi's roommate and the two lesbians).
