i think shimizu was older than that in that part of the manga but idk lol
I agree with you on the company thing. It was like, super weird!
About the age tho, I think the gap is 5 years at most. Because Shizuru was in junior high when Jun was still in high school. So if we go be the extremest extreme, then it's a 7-grader Shizu and a 12-grader Jun.
Personally, I would never fall for someone younger even if just by half a year, so I can't really judge this based on "I can't see myself", because with this standard, everything will be a no-no. But reasonably speaking, I think 5 years ain't so much? It doesn't even feel pedo because both of them were basically children. A 12 y.o & 17 y.o both are kids.
Buuuttttt what I hate the most about this manga is how Shizu acted in the beginning. That was basically assault&r@pe. It was so hateful I couldn't get over it even after the childhood story. If not for this one hateful point, this manga would have been a fav. I even feel kinda angry because I didn't get to enjoy the childhood story properly because of Shizu's acts of non/dub-con.
Doesn’t the uke work for a high end company? How did Shimizu, someone who didn’t even get a degree in anything and dropped out of police training, get in? The lolita thing was kinda creepy to me too. It’s just that Shimizu was like seven or so and Jun was around fourteen. I can’t see myself falling for a seven year old.
