So, I went on an anime binge this weekend. Just catching up on the anime released for the Summer 2022 season before the Fall season starts when I came across this anime: My Recently Hired Maid is Suspicious
And, it's basically about this boy who loses his parents in an accident, and so he hires a random maid that just shows up at his door one day to take care of him. Starts out really cute, and it's obvious he has a crush on his maid, which in and of itself isn't weird. Then, it's kind of hinted that she might return his feelings (she gets easily embarrassed when he basically declares his love for her and she gets jealous when he starts giving a cat more attention than her), and that's when things get uncomfy for me. I'm like...wtf? How old is this kid? In my mind, I was like, maybe he's like 13/14, and she's like 15 and the author wants to use her as fan service (which honestly is problematic all on it's own) so he makes her look older.
Then, I Google it, and the kid is like 10 years-old, and people speculate she's 15-20 years old, and I'm like.... 
So, yeah, I dropped this show. Like, I don't think Lilith (that's the maid's name) is going to do anything inappropriate with a 10 year old. It's not that kind of show/manga, but I can't help but feel like they are going to end up together. I guess, it technically would not be grooming if let's say she quits, and they meet up with each other when Yuuri is an adult, but I just find it weird how no one else finds it weird lol? Like, if this was a 10 year-old girl ogling and thirsting after a 15-20 year old guy and him playing into it, alarm bells would be sounding. Not in Japan since they really dgaf. But, in the west, definitely.
So, I wondered, am I the only one who is a little weirded out?
