Is this romance...?

I think no bc the black haired dude have some age gap and the silver haired one is a jerk but who knows what will happen in future

Mmm ? Bu i think, ultimately it should be, you start in media res, in a few years, with hansel finally finding his beloved witch ;)
So we should have a second half of the story when he tries to overcome the age gap, and conquer her heart … seems far away from c17 though , so at least the beginning should be romance free ;)

Thanks!
