If you like the characters and the romance and only changing the girls age and keeping everything the same would make the story acceptable. The story was never really the problem

I've been re reading a lot of the manga I liked over a decade ago. HOW COME THE AGE GAP IS GIVING PEDOPHILIA? omg I used to love this manga. The story is great, the characters were awesome, the comedy was top notch. In my head the age gap was like: 17 almost 18 and 22 or something. But it's 16 and 24. I'm not the age of Kurosaki yet, I can't picture myself dating a 16 years old, wtf?
Let's think rationally here, is it because in Japan at the time 16 years is culturally is appropriate? Well a quick Google search later...........at the time of release of this manga the age of consent in Japan was 13, it was changed to 16 years old just a couple of years ago (2023). So in that context this manga was not a crime. But my western brain can't really accept that. I still love this manga....someone change the ages.
