Don't get me wrong! I love his manga and mangaka, and I've read this story many times...but you guys do realize that these grown men go after 14-year old girls, right?
Yup. But tbh, the ages seem more like an idea than a fact. Literally none of the 14 year old characters act 14, or like kids at all! So the romancenhas never given me pause or seemed particularly awkward.
I never think of them as fourteen. I think it fits the story much better if I think of them as seventeen and in high school, not middle school. Everything fits better, the marriage pressure makes more sense and, of course, they look morel like that age.
An update, after a year of silence!
