The chibii-ness is killing me it's too cute

 

[ItsThatBriGuy]

At least this isn't the usual trope where one pursued the other based on a single encounter ten years earlier. Whew.

Middle school damaged our boy. Still, I always appreciate this kind of development where such couples are encouraged by destiny.

 

[Icantseelol]

Ah, I really hate when mangaka do this. Why couldn't they have just met in high school? I'm probably being overdramatic but this just feels unnecessary.

 

[razorshaleh]

Ahhh, turns out the MC already met Kurokawa when they were kids! Childhood love blooming all over again Also, come to think of it, Gennai-san is perpetually old, his wrinkles haven't changed at all from when Kurokawa was little up to high school. little MC was brutally honest with his words too

thanks for bonus

 

[KitRagnell]

That was so cute

 

[Rafzalo]

Aw yeah my most hated trope

 

[Zthulu]

I don't blame the guards for their stalwart defense, you'd kill so many people to protect this little thing, look at her.

 

[ciera]

These grandpa flashback side stories are cute as fuck

 

[dcdfvr]

That's so adorable

 

[jackjack9]

Both as kids and teens, Kurokawa and Takahashi are sp precious!! Hope Gennai will share more stories of Kurokawa's youth.

 

[MeganeR]

She so tiny!

Tbh I don't hate the "they've randomly met before but didn't know / remember" trope. That's just fate working to bring them together :x

 

[N7MangaReader]

[oaj09]

[yetanothergeek]

It is not that bad for this one, because Takahashi immediately pointed out he was the kid. A small subversion.
Usually the dumbfuck that is the MC would be like HUH? WHU? and then we go over 200 chapters before the MC realises he was the kid if we are fortunate.

 

[Septazia]

Imagine if we had a whole volume of them being a family with children.

CHIBI FOR DAYS​

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

They didn't really meet though he ran over gave her candy then ran away
