this book touches on wonderful topics but I can’t look past the ages and the romance trope they’re trying to create between the two characters…it’s weird.
Seventeen year old Tachibana has suffered a minor injury, taking her away from her school track team & effectively alienating her from her friend group. Meanwhile, she works as a waitress at a local restaurant, where she has developed an infatuation with her forty-five year old boss.
Tachibana has convinced her boss to take her on a date, (vol 1), which ended awkwardly. This doesn’t deter her, as she seeks him out with even more determination. She winds up at his apartment, (with his son) & things get a little more heated. (Props to her boss for trying to keep boundaries between them)
My issue with this is not the mundane slice of life, the slow pace, or even the age gap premise (tho it is on the extreme side). I even like the characters. Tachibana is naive, compulsive, introverted. A typical teenager in most regards. Her Boss is middle aged, hard working, book loving, seeking a quiet life. My issue is the semi explicit material added at random.
This would be so wholesome & entertaining if the story lacked a romantic bend & these two had come together as unlikely friends. (I understand that’s not the point of this manga)
I picked up vol 1 & 2 as a review request. I would not recommend to younger readers especially.
Content Notes: nudity, age gap, strong sexual innuendo

I read a few chapters in the same night, and to be honest those chapters just felt like filler. It didn’t go anywhere and you could easily just do a quick scan with your eyes of each page and get a good gist of what was happening. I’m gonna be putting this series down now.
Another volume that was just ok for me. Its VERY slow and not much is happening. Artwork is still incredible and I like the idea of the story. Still plan to continue.
