1 Disturbing Thing About The Sugar Sugar Rune ChocolatxPierre Romance

Thursday, October 05, 2017
Sugar Sugar Rune (#ad) is an anime and manga series by Moyoco Anno. The main character of the show is Chocolat Meilleure / Kato. She ends up falling in love with Pierre Tempête de Neige. What's wrong with this? What makes their romantic relationship weird, creepy and disturbing?

Chocolat's age

Chocolat Kato is just a kid. She's in elementary school. Her actions show how young she is at every turn. She can be immature. Even her appearance shows just how young she is. She's very short and her chest is flat.

Pierre's age

In contrast to that, Pierre Tempête de Neige appears to be so much older than Kato. He's actually in middle school, but the way he acts, it's like he's an adult already. He looks so mature especially when compared to Chocolat. Even his appearance makes him look like an adult. He's so tall, way taller than Chocolat.

Age difference between Chocolat and Pierre

Seeing them side-by-side shows the stark difference between their ages. Chocolat is like a baby while Pierre is like an adult. It doesn't seem right for them to be together. And yet the show has them falling for each other.

It would have been so much better, not to mention far less creepier, had the two been closer in age. At the very least, Kato could have been in middle school like Pierre, so it wouldn't be so bad.

Your thoughts and opinions?

What do you think about this? Do you think the age difference between Pierre and Chocolat is too much? Do you think Pierre is too old for Kato? Do you think Meilleure is too young for Pierre? Do you think it's right for them to end up together?

I talk more about this issue in this post here on my Tumblr blog. I'd have moved this one here on Anime Archives (Anime Meta) too, but it's already got some comments and notes there, so I decided to keep it there indefinitely. I'm mentioning it here for reference as the rest of the anime posts on there will eventually be moved here.
