As someone who read this at 16 and now 26 rereading it. I'm surprised a lot of you guys took 10 years before finding a 26y/o person dating a 16-17y/o kid weird and morally inappropriate.
I just took this as cute and "stays fiction" cute story. Looking from Yamada's perspective as 16y/o myself, I just knew it was predatory despite the consent. This stays as 5 stars in my book cos it's fiction and my reality is separate from that.
Yeah it's cute but nothing would change if chihiro was in college age either. It's so odd of the author to create him as a high schooler. Fiction or not it's still romanticise minor x adult ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
