So far it's a good read

 

[juicius]

By my clock, I uploaded chapter 15, the last chapter of volume 2, right at 11:59PM so I got all of chapter 2 done today as promised.

 

[kenx]

Holy shit, @juicius. You a best.
Also, first thing that came to mind with chapter 15 title: Kimini, Mune-kyun

I'm kind of surprised no-one else commented about this, but regarding what happened in chapter 12&13:

Spoiler

"You know what this drinking party needs? Minors!" Why did the 34-year old guy decide to invite his girlfriend's younger brother to this bar? Why are none of the three adults there thinking it may be a bad idea to get a minor drunk and then have sex with him?

For pete's sake, I get that there's technically no rape as MC is 46 in mind, but they don't know that!

TL;DR pedophilic rape happens, and none of the characters involved seem to have a clue, wth?

Chapter 15 title would most likely refer to the song with the same name from the 80s by Yellow Magic Orchestra. (Of course there's the newer anime version as well). All the chapters are probably song names I reckon, though I am only familiar with this one.

 

[anakskul]

sad old man who back to past to get another ending with other woman.
sad author who thinking he can make this manga into reality.
what i like about this manga is sex scene only. for story? nope.
its just about teenager doing something "extra" youth. you just another failure.

Where exactly do you see rape? It's obvious it's consensual. Or are you going to cry because the MC is a minor?

 

[jameaney]

@criver Sex with a minor is rape regardless or if it's consensual or not. I'm not complaining but it really is weird. He's not even a highschool student yet right. I know Japan is a little more lax with liquor laws but I doubt they're that lax it's a little ridiculous that no one found it strange. I'm willing to assume the girls were under drinking age too but probably at least 18. The whole thing is just a little strange.

 

[wiredlain]

Now I remember why I decided to stop reading Sekitou Elegy until everything's been translated for marathon.
I don't mind that this series kind of ripped off Haruka na Machi e, but the author let the mc wallow in self pity too much to be enjoyable.

 

[goronyanpai]

Looking at the comments is very crowded and interesting.
If it's like this there must be something happening in the manga.

Count me in.

@criver, @jameaney

Like jameany said, it's not consentual. MC can't give his consent because he's still a minor. Now technically you could argue there's no problem as everyone involved is, at least in mind, an adult, but none of the three parties other than the MC know that he's an adult. They should think he's a minor, yet they're fine with this as if they never heard of Age of Consent.

This could be approached from a few angles, such as some textbox that has the MC mention how it's strange they're fine with it, but maybe coming to the conclusion that back in the 80's people didn't care as much (assuming that's actually the case). Just a mention somewhere about how strange this whole event was would've been appreciated by me, because it just feels like these people were made to act like complete aliens in order for the plot to progress in some way.

What's even more baffling is that the guy that invited MC is, from what we've seen when he dealt with those delinquents, actually quite familiar with the law & consequences. Why would he of all people think this is a good idea? Were the MC an actual 16yo in mind, it's plenty obvious that this guy is abusing his recently earned status as mentor to get MC in this situation. Everything about the situation just screams emotional abuse, except for that little detail of the MC's actual age, that none of the parties involved should know about.

I'm glad to see there's at least one more person who thinks this whole ordeal is at the least strange. Comments on the chapters themselves are mostly complimenting MC for scoring and mentioning how refreshing it is to see an MC that's willing to have sex instead of backing down (which it still is, given this is technically rape).
