@kingmassey333 honestly, yeah. that's probably a positive consequence of shoujo manga limitations (lmao). i find myself only able to enjoy age gap romance (specifically, a high schooler x adult 4-5+ yrs older) from a distance because if i think about how weird it is in real life, it kinda spoils the feel good mood the story is supposed have.
so in a way, the purity and innocence of the two makes me a bit more accepting of this age gap romance here if i don't think about it too hard LOL
