I mean, Scott didn’t do anything physical beyond making out with her, if I remember right?
In both the movie and manga?
But uh… yeah, she was a minor, he was not, she was basically a star struck superfan and he absolutely emotionally abused the shit out of her and took advantage of his micro-celebrity status.
kind of sums up the entire movie pretty well. I am still not entirely sure what I watched, but I guess that is my fault for not knowing the manga? It was entertaining though, somehow. But I needed two sessions to watch it.

To be fair, that’s kind of the point of the story. He’s a bit of a dick who needs to learn to do better.

I guess I am still mad about it, a decade and a half later, rofl.

Seconded! I only watched the movie recently for the first time and Chau was so sweet (eventually) and sincere. She deserved better!
