I mean Japanese high school is age 16-18 so he's at least 16, which is the age of consent most places. Really just seems like he's a teenager living in a rural area and got curious about his sexuality so decided to try things out with a slightly older guy. Which is pretty normal. The guy gave him the opportunity to say no and it seemed like both of them were happy with it. Honestly this is less problematic than 80% of yaoi out there.

Your sexual experiences have nothing to do with this manga or the laws Japan has lol.
You can't even drink or smoke until you are 20 there.
I know this is fiction, a porn comic, but it didn't have to include a high school kid. And for those who didn't know, yes, getting involved with a minor is a crime in most countries XD

Yeah, I'm not bothered about kids being kids and drinking and smoking when they shouldn't, and Highschoolers having sex is not anything out of ordinary. The problem for me is that an adult dude fucks a kid and it is shown as a positive thing when it really isn't. But like I said, I really shouldn't take Japanese gay porn comics seriously. Especially when it is so common for yaoi to portray creepy and toxic relationships in a good light... It's just disappointing to see good art and setting to be wasted like this XD

So, in the end, it all just comes down to the law? Cause 18 yrs old is when you lawfully recognized as an "adult"?
I also abstinence is the best choice, but when it comes to other teens my age, I personally think that as long the age gap doesn't exceed a certain point until you are an adult it's fine. Like, 5 yrs or something. As long as the relationship was actually sincere, I think an even larger age gap would also be fine.
30s is pushing it a little though ( ̄∇ ̄")
