Content Warning for age-gap relationship (not of a sexual nature at this time)

This one was good and tugs on the heartstrings of youthful love and crushes. I'm curious to see how exactly Shin knows Minato, and how Minato will confront his teen crush on his teacher. As this manga does contain a 16/17 year old (attempting to have) a relationship with a 30 year old adult, this one might not work for others. I, however, found it to be endearing. While Minato does feel attraction to Shin, he's very responsible in not doing anything romantic with Shin. Shin, however, says fuck that and lets be freaks together. If age-gaps makes you feel gross, don't pick this up as Shin is very aggressive in his pursuit of getting some kind of romantic action from Minato (Minato blocks Shin from kissing him for example, and always turns down Shin's love confessions).

It is messy but addictingly so. Like, age gaps aren't usually my cup of tea, especially in BLs. But, there's something here that is making me want to keep reading.

Look this would have been cute but I simply am not comfortable with the age gap. There’s no reason a 30 yo should be flirting with a 17 yo and them having near kisses etc is just not sitting right with me. 

It’s a no from me.
