Fair point but for this its really the power dynamic that I don't like. I really want a childish crush on an older person to get shut down at every possible turn purely for my own amusement. But one thing this chapter brings up again is the mom and I really want to know what she's up to.

Oi… I had an inkling but didn’t expect a reveal within the same chapter.

I thought she just had a one-sided, puppy love for him, but now the PD is pulling i-m@s?!

Well… considering all the kinks throughout the series, guess it’s on me. I should have seen this coming from miles away :huh:

Decided to skim back the previous chapters. Here should be the mentions or appearances of Manager-san.
1)Chapter 14 [first mention of his name, due to Aoi sleeptalking. The end of the chapter shows she was embarassed about that]
2)23.5 extra [Aoi be crushing on Shou-nii, and also teases him. We can assume he's her manager. We also see him smoking, but not his face]
3)26.04 [image extra for 23.5]
4)Chapter 29 [Nozomu pictures Aoi and Manager-san, so he has some amount of familiarity with them]
5)Chapter 41 [We see his face]
6)Chapter 42 [This chapter. Dialogue on page 2 seems to imply Aoi was planning on staying over? Or is she just eavesdropping since Nozomu came home out of nowhere?]

Weird how I'm fine with different fetishes when they are sectioned off in a separate manga but hate them when they unexpectedly get put into some other manga. I like Koibumi to 13-sai no Actress but seeing it here is really creepy. Especially because Aoi looks like she's barely a teenager, this manager needs to be in prison.

It's so weird to me that the author is going for this between little sis and her manager.
makes the whole situation of the MC look so tame in comparaison.
All the drama we got in this manga really didn't improve the story imho.

So this means that Nozumu dating his cousin would only the 2nd-weirdest relationship in their family? Well, tied for 2nd AND 3rd, if you think about it.

People are going bonkers over the whole "producer × Aoi" thing.
Meanwhile I'm watching the drama outside the manga unfold, with a bucket of popcorn.

The worst thing you could do to an age-gap romance manga is introduce a couple with an even larger age gap

Wait a second, does this mean his little sister and her manager was living together this whole time? What kind of relationship do they have? And she's a mid schooler while him is an adult, you know 🤨🤨🤨
Judging from the fact manager said unreasonable request from his mom and sister... I'm guessing the mom knows all about THAT :>

Wait a sec.

Nozomu is currently staying with his paternal uncle, and the grandfather is his paternal grandfather. Every relative we've been introduced to so far is related to him through his father.

The producer is pretty much the first character to say anything of note about Nozomu and Aoi's mother, and says that he's used to dealing with her unreasonable requests. This revelation sort of implies that their mother knows that Aoi is living with him, which at first blush seems like a pretty crazy thing for a parent to sign off on.

Now, let's put our thinking caps on for a second and remember what sort of manga this is, and that Nozomu has been shown to be a pretty oblivious dude. The sort who could plausibly not have a very strong grasp of his own family tree.

Anyway, what I'm getting at here is this: what do we think are the chances that Aoi's producer is their mother's brother, and Aoi is actually crushing on their maternal uncle?

I'm calling it out now and saying that it will be Aoi herself who crawls out of the room because she cannot stand missing out on any more of that juicy, juicy gossip.

I dont know why are y'all complaining. I like this development of Aoi posibly dating or fucking her manager. Since it's nothing confirmed, it fulfilled its mission to stir the pot and got you all talking about it. We know inuchiku's past and that he's very into this sort of thing too, besides cousinfucking. But i think he'll keep it ambiguous or come up wtih a convenient excuse, but his intentions are clear.

I'm looking forward to see more of this!
