Joel is actually in his late thirties
Really? Yikes. :/ With a high schooler?! I wouldn't want that in a guy/ girl or a girl/ girl relationship. I don't mind age gaps if we're still talking about two legal adults.
Yeah I mean he’s 19 so he’s a legal adult
Not in Korea.
I’m p sure when they say 19 they mean Korean age, so in actuality he is 17
yes same, I’m not invested in that relationship at all. It feels like the author is trying to shove it down our throats and make us invested in it but it just doesn’t work. Their interactions are very awkward with Chase trying to act very ~seductive~ while Jesse is portrayed as this “ha ha look how oblivious this character is” when in reality he’s in his late 30s and he’s a FATHER. Plus, of course the underage thing and the huge gap. Just all together a weird dynamic. Rest of the story is great! Paced really well and funny, but I also wish they’d cut out the chasexjesse, it’s such a useless arc
Yeah Koreans count age differently than in the west. Age is counted at conception, I believe. So he's not 19.
Should be 18 in korean age I believe? but anyway yeah I'm not comfortable with the relationship. I get that Joel is not making moves on Chase at all (and not even having any feelings for him) and Chase doesn't know Joel's real age but even so, when they get together, I will still feel so awkward since Joel is Jesse's dad and Chase is like his son's age. I hope it stays this way (Joel not making moves on Chase) until Chase becomes a real adult lol.
If it’s korean age then he’s 18
The art is ...eh. Good enough. But the series of comedic misunderstandings is golden.
I'm not that interested in Chase and Jesse's dad. I don't care for their relationship and skip through it to the Jesse and Andy parts. Jesse and Andy are great in their interaction.
I wish there weren't whole chapters to Chase and Jesse's dad. I really don't want to read about a man in his early thirties with a minor. I mean, the math teacher is already being set up as a villain for going after his students. I guess Jesse's dad and Chase were the author's way of saying it was okay for an adult and high schooler to go out as long as the higher schooler was the pursuer?
No. Can't agree with that.
