Is there pedophilia?

I would say yes in a way, and I’ll explain why.
The stalker is dressed in Lolita fashion, which is a fashion style from Japan that’s a subculture inspired by European baroque, rococo and Victorian era. It is specifically defined by very girly and quite youthful clothing, accompanied with hairstyles and makeup that makes people look more youthful, manga/anime-looking or, which I would describe, doll-like, specifically like porcelain dolls.
Lolita fashion/subculture is NOT pedophilic in nature, HOWEVER it has become heavily fetishised by a large group, leading to blurred lines, and is often been linked to either the novel ”Lolita” that is pedophilic (that otherwise only shares the name with the subculture) and ”loli”/”lolicon”.
Lolicon (/loli) is DEFINITELY bordering on pedophilia, and quite a touchy subject. To quote wiki: ”In Japanese popular culture, lolicon (ロリコン, rorikon) is a genre of fictional media which focuses on young or young-looking girl characters, particularly in a sexually suggestive or erotic manner.”
The reason why I specifically define this is so that I can be specific about why I would say that this manga have some elements of pedophilia, though not graphically or definite.
The stalker is always dressed in Lolita fashion. As mentioned above, this is not pedophilic, and the stalker in fact is drawn in a way that implies her to be late adolescent or very young adult, though it is somewhat ambiguous. Further on in the manga, the stalker looks less human, and this along with her having proportions that looks not like a child, doesn’t give the impression that she is one. She DOES however often act and speak somewhat childlike.
Whilst the stalker isn’t really sexualised, there is some context necessary. One of the mc’s friends says some troubling things. Hearing about (but never seeing) the stalkers physical appearance, he expresses to be ”jealous” as he seems to have a fetish. If my memory is correct, this is also the same friend who borrowed out (unsolicited) loli-porn to the mc (who threw it in the trash without watching, seemingly bothered by it) and also implies that the mc should ”feel lucky that he has a hot younger sister”, which the mc seems disgusted by.
The stalker later implies that she thinks that the mc is aroused by loli bc she found the video tape in the trash, which is kinda gross

Imma be quite specific below, as from my understanding, it is in a way that most wouldn’t think about directly when thinking about this trigger.
The antagonist, a female stalker, graphically selfharms and it is shown in detail. Some of it is to an extent that doesn’t seem survivable, which heavily implies that the stalker is supernatural.
The stalker brutality injures and ultimately kills a friend (girl) of the mc’s sister, and shortly thereafter harms the sister and is implied that she dies as well

I think both the mc and his sister are in their mid teens, the sister is somewhat younger, so I would still count them as children, though more adolescents

The stalker’s backstory is that she was severely physically and mentally/emotionally abused by her older brother.
This would definitely be triggering for someone who may have that type/similar type of trauma. Specifics below
She is seen heavily bruised, refusing to change her clothes no matter how dirty she gets, in fear of angering her brother as he supposedly forced her to wear those clothes. She is shown to have bizarre traumarelated behaviour, such as eating spilled food from the floors, supposedly from how she was treated. Description of how she was fed by her brother are vile, won’t go into detail.
She heavily selfharms and is in general extremely self destructive as a result of the abuse and is implied to be suicidal

Yes, fingers are disfigured by hand being hit by mallet, think the mc towards the end has his hand(s) injured in some way by the stalker, and the stalker is regularly seen having bleeding fingers, especially from torn off fingernails

Don’t know if this counts, but the stalker always has a very worn bunny-like stuffed toy with her, that smells really bad, that she later tears up the belly area of, to reveal that it was stuffed with human organs

I think the sister throws up the ”soup” that the stalker made and the stalkers backstory with the abuse of her brother mentioned that he would force her to eat garbage and if she threw up she would have to eat up her vomit

No, but one sidestory features another obsessive stalker that is stereotypical portrayed as a otaku, and drawn to look very unattractive. The character is drawn as an overweight person, as a part of her unattractive features, and this can be seen as mockingly

It’s hard to say ”no”, and I’ll explain why.
There’s no ACTUAL incest going on/happening. The mc’s friend comment on that the mc should feel lucky to have a ”sexy little sister” which is gross and so does the mc seem to think as well.
The stalker wants to be the mc’s ”little sister” (she is actually in no way related to him and is a stranger) and some comments/things she says can give off an ”incestuos vibe”. It is not mutual/consensual from the mc

Not really, there’s some minor semi-nudity, the term ”whore” being used, reference to lolicon porn (in text, briefly, never shown) and an up-skirt scene where the sister is threatened to have her privates burned by an iron for urinating herself out of fear

Where to Watch
Below are description of the specific scene, if you want to determine the severity, be warned that it is VERY GRAPHIC.
The body of the dog is shown in a garbage bag outside, already having been mentioned as missing by the landlady.
Not only does a dog die, it is cooked by the stalker. The manga is in black and white, but the ”soup” are clearly bowls with blood. A severed paw is discovered in the soup by the MCs sister, the stalker is shown to eat one of the eyeballs.
