Better than expected

Expected to drop this quickly ngl but it was surprisingly a decent read!

As someone in their late 20s often mistaken for a teenager I found myself relating to Miki a lot. Everyone brushes it aside as “you’ll be thankful you look young when you’re older” but dating is hard when people assume you're a minor and therefor don’t have interest in dating you, OR you have someone interested only to learn they have a history of dating barely legal women and it feels gross :,,)

Also related to her trying to look more mature/taller when going out on dates. Before seeing a pattern in my (gross) ex’s relationships - i didn’t want randoms to judge him / assume he was dating a minor and ended up self conscious about it when we’d go out.

Overall it’s got cute moments and while not perfect - there was a refreshing amount of healthy communication and relationship moments depicted.

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

First ED story i’ve read and I wasn't very convinced it would start and end with him still having ED, but was a bit disappointed the author didn’t explore more alternative ways they could find pleasure before his ED was resolved but oh well
