The synopsis fails to let you know that this is an age gap romance, but one that I was immediately repulsed by when I find out it's a 30 year old and a 17 year old who is STILL in high school. Nope, nope, no.

Other than this, the actual pacing of the panels/story-telling is completely off, abrupt and had me questioning whether scenes were playing out on the same day or on different days (the time jumps/cuts are not clear).

There is very little chemistry between the two (thank god but still eww) and I could not help but cringe my way through this entire thing. I do remember being a young high-schooler running around with hormones on fire, but Shin's character was just damn creepy most of the time.

Gotta say, this is my worst read of the year.

THIS IS SO CUTE. AH. They're brats the both of them. I really like both of their personalities. This is told in a sort of comedic, episodic way, but there's a story being built and it's not just the comedy. I think their relationship is so cute. I love how aggressively persistent yet calm Shin is and how he gets all sulky when Minato rejects him. I also love how awkward and blushy Minato is as he tries to be the adult. Also the height difference! Minato being so much shorter brings me so much joy.

I am mildly offended that Minato is referred to as middle aged when I'm pretty sure he's 27, but I digress. This is what getting old feels like huh?

cw- age gap (high schooler x adult )

minato-san owns a laundromat. one day he meets a young man he finds very attractive, turns out he is a high schooler. feeling develop, but katsuki is still too young.
what will happen.

the chara design is gorgeous. really loved it!
bring up to my man, minato, for not being a groomer. story is cute but katsuki, as all teenager, is a bit too pushy for my liking..
