This is a spin-off of a side “couple” from Jackass. Couple is in quotation marks because it didn’t really explicitly portray the two of them having any romantic relations at all by the end of the manga, just some minimal flirting going on on the side. First thing I’m definitely gonna say is that the age gap is too big. I’m a huge believer in age is just a number until that number has barely even turned legal and is susceptible to grooming, 19 year old Miyoshi with Hosaka that’s pushing 40 Aside from the age gap, ofc the stalking and spying on Hosaka through his pc is already fucked up but Scarlet Beriko romanticizes it to the bone by making it the reason for Miyoshi feeling a deeper connection with Hosaka, working on his confidence, and knowing that Hosaka really really loves him. The stalker behavior is evident in another one of her works as well as far as I’m concerned. Anyway this just wasn’t it. If everything was reached by normal means though, I’m sure the romantic scenes would have hit and that’s the only reason it has 2 stars.
