Um

I don't mind the huge age gap but like he's Jesse's friend... imagine you bring your friend over and your dad leers at him.

oh wait but Chase is a minor so yeah it's creepy af.

He is not anymore didn't you read when joel said in two minutes you wont be a minor

Agree.... I don't mind the age gap but the relationship seems too forced in my opinion don't see a chemistry there, specially because Chase is very manipulative

he was leering at Chase when he was still a minor. I guess he didn't actually lay hands on him until he graduated from one. But boy ain't that still creepy. Legally, it isn't wrong but a middle aged man with a grown-up kid making out with someone who just graduate from being a minor rubs me off the wrong way, sorry.

Who cares its a manga tbh honest i like age gap especially if someone is in highschool or college

Like I said, I'm more uncomfortable with the fact that he's his son's friend. Huge age gap isn't a big deal if the story is fleshed out nicely. I don't think it is here. Even with one character in high school, if the story is told well enough, I will enjoy it. I feel like the general vibe of the story is too lighthearted for it to handle such an 'unusual' relationship well.
So, sad to say I don't like this couple. But you do you. I'm not shaming anyone who likes Joel and Chase.

Tbh honest me too i feel like there is something missing of the chase and joel story
