ALisAnimeLover's manga / #age gap(33)

OH DAMN. shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiit i'm not crying but my heart's broken but glued back together :'( kinda felt annoying that the author really had to make sure that tooru (dad) wasn't actually the one who hit-and-run the mom, so she had to add in a bad guy. Though the bad guy was //kinda// redeemed in the extra

The extra was weird and funny, but it was overall boring and just... shit. The main one is good though. Cute and chill af older guy with some insecurities about his age. And the younger guy accepts him as he is. I kinda want more, but I'm satisfied nevertheless.

PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS YAOI/SHOUNEN AI. PLEASE. Edit in case someone misunderstands: I am fine with incest (ngl I like some incest mangas too), though I really just find their sibling relationship to be very cute and wholesome and I don't want it to be set aside just for romance. It's a common trope in comics where being very close to someone (friendship, siblings, whatever) just gets interpreted into a romantic relationship because it's "more special", ending up belittling other types of relationship.

I didn't feel anything from the main character tbh. It seems like he only slept/ended up with the other dude for the job. Also, isn't it awkward having s*x (tho not full) in front of the camera? Though they are actors after all.

The story has a lot of... not really plot holes but simply weak points. 1) Okay, so Haruto learns that Ren is having sex with some old dude. He is not entirely sure if this is consensual or not, but he has a huge hunch it isn't given Ren's situation. But instead of thinking whether or not to report this to the police or doing anything concrete, he merely contemplates about how he feels about Ren. Uh-huh. 2) So apparently, the rapist dude is not Daddy Long Legs (what a plot twist!), but rather his secretary who he trusted to give money to Ren and report to him about Ren's situation. Being Daddy Long Legs, why couldn't he simply give Ren a credit/debit card and contact him regularly? And just let the secretary/care taker report once in a while, but maintaining contact with Ren. This way, Ren could have reported to him about the situation. 3) The whole plot twist that it was just the secretary and not Daddy Long Legs - that DLL is actually kind, is most probably because the author wanted the manga's ending to be how it did (long separation until they meet again) . 4) Again, in the ending, DLL took Ren abroad with no problems. So why didn't he do that a long time ago? For the drama. The whole story just wanted to revolve around a "realistic world" where one of the characters has a very "out-of-this-world" background story. And it's not executed well.

The thing that catches my attention here is the amount of train deaths... which as others have commented on as true. I find it interesting why the author chose to include them in the story though //I mean, it's totally unrelated to the story - the dude could just say that being a train conductor is boring and monotonous without mentioning the train deaths (he has that boring tone while mentioning the deaths anyway - which is quite scary because that just meant that he got too used to it :( )

Dropped at ch1 (or first pages of ch2)

OMG. Younger alpha. OMG. lol, the self restraint is real XD sweet af and at least no pedo shit. Nice nice. Had me laughing some times. But COOL Omega embrace yourself, be proud. My only complaint is that it suddenly ended with a timeskip. I do like the extras though. Also damn, y'all missing the point calling this pedophilia and grooming. First off, this is omegaverse. He didn't get horny because it's a kid, he got horny because it's his mate. Learn the difference. Second, the point is that it's taboo, and how the two of them went on with it. The worst thing the omega has done was kiss the kid, but he did feel guilty about it because he knows it's illegal and he stopped there. He never acted predatory. He didn't groom the kid or shit like that. If you really feel uncomfortable reading things like this, then... You just plain shouldn't read it. It's not as if the story isn't in the synopsis. Not like the story isn't obvious from the cover. Learn to read the synopsis and check the cover next time, okay?

apparently the pilot to sayonara alpha hahaha. I actually like the pacing and everything... except for the ship XD Though I like how they're still in character despite being in an AU? This author's goooood.
