just_m3h's manga / #Age Gap(219)

Sure, they're both consenting adults, but bdsm relationships should really have well-negotiated boundaries. This could get dangerous.

1: Kei is a wedding planner who has a bit of relationship trauma from his past and Ichinose Seishi is his client who gets scammed by a fraudster. Kei sleeps with him, after Ichinose drowns his sorrows in alcohol one night, thinking it would be a one night stand. But Ichinose ends up insisting he'll take responsibility, the next day. It's okay, I guess. Kei shouldn't have taken advantage of him while he was drunk. And Ichinose is so persistent, he sometimes borders on creepy. But overall, I didn't dislike it. 4.3 3: I'm just in love with this one. Daichan has always been taking care of the kind-hearted Izumi who always gets taken advantage of. Daichan confesses to him and is rejected because of a misunderstanding. I love the angst, the teasing, the sex, the way wishy-washy Izumi takes charge when his switch gets flipped is so hot. Ugh. 5 4: Chiaki is Kouichi's sister(?)‐in-law's kid from a previous relationship. Chiaki proposes to Kouichi when he was a little child, and grows up still loving him. Koichi is slowly won over. I don't particularly care for the age gap, which, we never even get told what it is. But the sister and sister(?)-in-law are such a power couple, I HAVE to support this. 4.75. 5: Probably a short extra from some other story? Overall: 4.7

He's a high schooler, though? The premise and the characters were interesting, but why make him a high school student?? It's just so unnecessary.

Sweet but frustrating. 4.3

Whaaaat? What is this intense level of adorableness???

Loved it. That epilogue line was SO on point, this is indeed, a story about good people finding the love of their lives. Burnt out and heartbroken Hyeong-woo decides to temporarily move out to the boonies to get his mind off things (and help him with his ever-unsuccesful attempt to quit smoking). Hyeon-woo finds himself entangled with the sweet and innocent Do-won who seems determined to befriend him. Hyeon-woo is a little jaded, sure, but he's also a really good person who cares about other people in a way that's so simple and honest. And Do-won is such a sweetheart and, just such a genuinely nice guy. He's so strong, despite his lot in life. The way they care about each other is also a huge draw. It's the most wholesome thing ever. When Hyeon-woo gave his ex a piece of his mind over that incident, it pretty much cemented this pair for me, forever. They'll definitely grow old together. Plus, the narration style is quite unique, too. It was refreshing. As for the ex, while I really disliked him, I wouldn't mind reading his story and seeing a redemption arc. Edit : Even though the ex is such an arse, that doesn't mean I wanted to read about him getting raped, wtf?? 5/5 Ch 25

Ehhh. I guess my issue with stories that follow this kind of plot is that I don't like the implication that his feelings can be transferred over so easily.

Could have been a good story, but became a cliché blackmail plot instead. Shame, too. I love this trope. I'll still read it. Ch 2

Teacher x Student stories are not for me. But Himuro sensei's exhibiting top-tier self crontrol, I must say.
