Ai’s Scandal and Reputation

In Japan, the legal age for marriage is–18 for both men and women since, April 1, 2022. Previously it was 18 for men and 16 for women

There is no legal age for giving birth, but Japan’s national age of sexual consent, previously set at 13 was raised to 16 in July 2023. However, many prefectures had already established local consent ages ranging from 16–18 prior to this national change

Although the anime aired in April 2023—the manga ran from 2020 to 2024. This explains why Saitou Ichigo was concerned about both, his company–Ichigo Productions, Inc., and Hoshino Ai mainly out of fear of public image and reputation rather than any legal issues
