Age gap

Wait aren't they only 9 years apart? XD Kiichi is 29 Nao is 20 both are adults lol.
Not that big of an age gap in my opinion but oh well... others have different opinions ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Thank you for the polite reply! I know I will get pushback on this. My comment is coming from a person who turned 30. I would NEVER date a 20 year old because imo it's too big of a gap in experience and development. Like, why does the mangaka NEED to tell their ages and its always a barely an adult with someone pushing 30 or more. It barely serves the story and I would rather that they would leave the age as mystery then. It would be different if the agegap was with a 27 and 36 year old. 20 is too young imho and its such a common theme in yaoi. I ofc don't know your age or other readers but when youre my age, you would see how creepy it is how common it is in yaoi. Thank you again for being polite even if we disagree!♡

I get youuuuu. In my head I was thinking ‘he was just 19 like yesterday and he’s dating a man that’s practically 30’

I, like many a fujoshi, love age gaps. But I do dislike other tropes, like for example isekai. However, I think I'm well-adjusted enough not to go to an isekai manga comment section to shit on it with the expectation of being celebrated for my insightful contribution. Thank God we have people like you to remind us that our choices in partner should abide by your personal moral standards. Next time I'll plan on dating a 20yo I'm gonna ring you up to know if it's kosher, 'kay?

Relax, they were just saying they don’t like age gaps not shitting on it. No need for an essay.

Take it to therapy love

As a soon-to-be 30 myself, I agree with you. I would never date a 20 y/o. For me, it's just weird. They're barely legal! TBH I can't even see myself dating a 27yo person lololol. But of course other people might think otherwise.

That's why I prefer stories with same-age characters (i.e. friends to lovers trope). Or at least both of them are adult (40 and 30 yo pairs).

Yesss you get me! Me and my gf are both 31 >_<. I've never dated anyone younger than 1 year lol The difference in experience and maturity is huge with a 30 year old and 20 year old.
