Characters like kashan are such an interesting grey area That I always enjoy seeing develop as the story goes on. Not inherently a malicious or dubious character but rather just a product of a different culture and way of life. Like in his head this all just very logical,straightfoward and efficient so he sees no fault in it. Since it's the way his species has always been and he sees no wrong in it. And tbh in their world it probably isn't. He did mention it before, it's the way his kind has survived and maintained stable numbers. Humans have their own moral compas and so do them, granted it's very animal like.

I don't usually like age gap stories of this nature but there's something about this story specifically that makes me feel all fuzzy inside no matter how many times I read it.
There's so much tenderness and warmth just emanating from their relationship. Yamada treats chihiro with nothing but kindness and respect and it's just absolutely precious.

sometimes slice of manga like this get another series focused on the main couple's adult lives together kind of like what they did with "karakai jouzu no takagi-san".
and if I remember correctly there was a chapter here where sempai was sick and nagatoro came to take care of him. Though senpai was a bit out of it because of the fever at one point he seemed to have what looked like a glimpse of the future where nagatoro looked more grown up, was wearing an office outfit and was even calling herself his wife. Which I think was supposed to hint that in the future not only are they still together but also live together as well. And even got married.

For me , Even if a manga is like 95% sex scenes I still like having the remainig 5% being used to show the couple having even the SLIGHTEST hint of emotional connection. I hope we'll get to see desire for a deeper emotional bond from Richard towards Courtney. we have yet to know how or why he chose courtney specifically. Aside from his sexual fetishes ofcourse. I was slightly disappointed in his response to her emotional breakdown. I think that was the most vulnerable we've seen courtney so far. That was a perfect chance to show he can be sincere and emphatetic but still he only responded with arousal. I'm aware the story is only starting out. But I guess I just found it weird since in this type of stories where the ML was interested in the FL first they tend to sort of hint you in to how they really feel during emotional moments like that.

Honestly I've always hated that memory loss trope where they now have this weird dynamic with the person they are now and who they used to be.
Things like "what's so good about the past me?, forget about him. I'm the one who's here now". It pisses me off, they're treating the main character I loved and who's story I've been following all this time almost like an obstacle or a hyndrance. Makes me hate the new personality because now they're just here shit talking their past self without even knowing anything or the things they went through.
It also creates this weird situation where it feels like the other person is cheating on the original personality with the new one even though it technically isn't cheating because it's still them to some degree but like it's also not at the same time? it's a mess.
Then you're left feeling bad for the new personality because it's not like they asked to be there and everyone else is just missing the older one so the new one is left feeling like they're not wanted.
hell nooooo, Like im so happy we got an update but pls let's go back to my babies and the main couple. CAUSE BITCH WTF U MEAN 16!???
That's wtf I'm sayin!!!
