The main thing that saved this for me was that Aoi fell for him when he thought he was a 17/18 yr old and the love he held on to for so long was towards that oldsr guy in his head. There was no grooming type plot(thank god) and once they reuited the ML was 18 yrs old. AND when they first did the deed, Aoi thought he was doing it with a 25 yr old. The whol lying until after doing it does feel kinda icky but other than that it was preety cute even with the age gap. I wouldnt date an 18 yr old at 23 but at least nkthing happened when he was 11(?!? Still kinda crazy ngl)
