Listen, a kid liking someone older is a pretty normal occurance (example kids liking their teachers and shit, happens to all of us). Problems arise when the older person at the end of the stick reciprocates
But I dont really get the problem though, we're both adults. Sure if he'd put the moves on me when I was younger that would be one thing, but now that I'm 23?? Idk I just genuinely don't see the ussue
You're not the issue, this manga is cause the characters in the manga aren't adults your situation is this story if it was normal
I guess I'm struggling to dislike this because I used to be him? Like I also had someone I liked (He was 6 years older not 7) and you can't really stop liking someone just because you're "not supposed to" He treated me like a little cousin but I liked him and I told him I liked him. He said I was a kid and didn't know what I was talking about but never treated me any differently. He moved away when he went to college (I was 13) but still came back for family and stuff and Id always stop by and say hi when he did. Now that I'm 23, I've had 2 long term boyfriends who I loved, but if I'm single and my childhood crush happens to be single, I don't see why we can't get together (assuming of course, I can get him to like me). Guess it's just different mindsets? Idk
