I don't hate age gaps. I'm actually on the opposite and do not understand why some against with 18 years old having a relationship with someone 5 years older or more. I just don't understand...some even are mad with 3 years age gap.
But here, I understand if some are taken a back, since he is still in highschool. The author not disclosing the age to avoid heavy discussion about them and to let readers focus their attention on the story instead, which is fine. I feel like we all can agree that he should be in college but for me personally this shows how highschool are in sensitive stage of their life so I get it him meeting hirose.
I observed that Snowy's type of person is always attracted to someone who is mature and older than them. I would not dare to question his feelings for hirose. Since they are intellectual people and they always want someone who is not immature like someone on their age.
In other words, I don't care with age gap, people should not be too nosy in people's life. Just like celebrities love life. Let them learn on their own. They are the one's in the relationship, not you.

When he died again, I thought that he is reincarnation FROM historical period, not reincarnated INTO historical that he will meet the reincarnated nobunaga to fulfill their love with each other in modern era, but he died there too. So it was really an alternate universe.
Now he died in that universe too and he came back to historical era but both of them grew older. DON'T TELL ME HE HAD A KID NOW T^T
Also, this events is really popular in Japan (ofcouse). There's a hollywood series named Shogun, popular and most awarded emmy this year. Oda Nobunaga is there too but old. I did not finished ep 1 tho and I don't think Ranmaru exists in that series, but I think the sister does. That is why the story is kinda familiar.
I cried more than the last time I read this. Mishima is right, no choice is right or wrong. Kirino's eyes became darker again when they ran away from home. His all is his mother, and the same for his mother. I think that if they really reached Tokyo and lived there and with no contact with his mother. I think he will also take his life just like Mishima's drag friend. They were free but if they are alone, it's still lonely path. I'm just glad that Kirino is happy now and his eyes did not became dark.
His pandora box never been opened again but he is happy with his two children, wife, healthy mother and father. And I always want to believe that his wife knows he is gay but still accepts him, he deserves so much happines. For all those Kirinos in the world, we will always rooting for you. And to those mishimas out there we are also rooting for you. Live the life you chose, I wish for all of your happiness.
I think I cried et this comment as much as I did with the actual manga.
