honestly, "love so life" too the guy literally have kids and is everyones favourite, so this is nothing, takane to hana, the other one with the student and the fireman, this is a very comun in shoujo and people hating ?? nah... the double standar is bigger than the age gap (⌒▽⌒)
People hating on this doesn't equate to double standards on other applicable mangas, not everyone likes the other mangas anyway but bc it was already well established, it tends to have a higher rating, and this situation itself is already different from other mangas with age gap imo. The savior complex and morale superiority from the ml is palpable in the air, that's why I don't like it
did you like living no matsunaga-san? is literally the same plot, and everyone loved it.
Ah read that one years ago. Hated it, a lot of past shoujos are really bad when read again but this one I just don't like straight up, ik lots of people who don't like it as well, the lot's basic and the execution is just bad imo, ofc I won't hate on others who liked it or it's counterparts, but I'm just saying, not all of shoujos readers fucks with it and I think that's hella valid
Exactly
times have changed
I get the hate on the age gap but we must all remember the ever so popular Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet. The age gap in there is too big than this and the girl is also like 16 as well. There's also Living no Matsunaga-san. Both of those have like 9.5 ratings? This is just 3 chapters. Let's give it a chance. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
