I'd like to remind people that the age of consent in Japan is 16.
(There is still a caveat to that, as the age still varies depending on prefecture, some areas it's illegal when the minor is 15 or younger. Other places it's 18 or younger).
I am in no way condoning, or saying that justifies this. But just consider how in Japan this type of age gap is not considered as socially or culturally taboo as it does for the US/ wherever you may be from ...At least in a fiction standpoint.
The thing is that Japan's original age of consent was actually 13 until 2023. On top of the fact that teen/adult relationships have been a standard yaoi trope for basically as long as yaoi's been a thing, this opens a can of worms of the discourse on how Japanese culture can glorify infantilism.
Don't even get me started on rape and molestation culture in Japan...

They finally kiss in chapter 11
Tell us where to read it plssss
Unfortunately there's currently no raws. I purchased the chapter here

[EDITED] Chapter 5 update was uploaded backwards
Nope. The chapter pages are just completely backwards. You have to read from the last page to the first
Ahhhh gotcha! No wonder the pages made no sense when I skimmed it.
Thank you for letting me know I will fix it!Σ( ￣□￣||)
I redid the order so hopefully it shows up soon, sorry this is my first time uploading a chapter before ┗( T﹏T )┛
Thanks for the effort. Unfortunately it looks like it's still backwards.
I opened a random chapter to see if I was at all interested in reading this and JESUS CHRIST

I'm so trash. The brocon thing is my stupid kink.
Bro gimme some recs but where they end up together
I appreciated that the story realistically shows the difficulty of a gay dude being in the closet and the uke not trusting the seme because he's been burned before.
However, I don't love how biphobic and even kind of demanding the uke is. Like I get the trust issues and how Japan overall has a more heteronormative lens on society. Still it did leave a bit of a bad taste of my mouth.
I can't get over the fact that the human seme's diet consists of basically only instant ramen and green tea, and he has a body like that?????
