it’s actually concerning how age gaps like these are so normalized in shoujo mangas. like, no grown man in his mid to late 20s should be romantically involved with a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT! like, i cannot believe i used to read mangas like this without knowing that they groomed me. & the fact that it’s only even seemed okay because the ml is hot .. pretty privilege is really something.

    "were". this is pretty old (not as old as classic tho) it was when girls allowed to marry at 16 in jp (idk the law now).
    when i read it when i was younger it was good. seeing an older man bent down and being thrown around by a high school age feel so refreshing (go girl power). but this kind of theme age badly and now i cringe when i reread it again.
