This boy is too Young

Complete | Yue Satomi | 2000 released

I'm not against age gap relationships, and considering this one had a 5-year gap, it's not so bad. (I might be put in jail for saying that though haha.) OK, maybe Touya IS too young to be dating, but hey, most shoujo manga show people dating around that age. In any case, rather than the age gap issue, I was more concerned about how the story went. The characters were all flat, and their roles revolved around the love story, period. I can't even say Akari is simple-minded, because she's way too easily swayed and indecisive. This could have been better if the story was more fleshed out and the people had more to them than just a tag of 'female protag', 'male protag', 'other guy', etc. etc. I don't think they even properly addressed the age-gap matter, even though that was the main plot. The drawing was quite nice, though.
