So I needed something to read after I finished Yona because I have to read something horrible after reading something that good so that I can enjoy things normally. Fortunately one of my beloved mutuals recommended this to me and now Im cured I thought I wouldnt review the bad thing I read but this was so awful and rage inducing that I had to. This will be my first review to contain spoilers since its a oneshot and no one should read this anyway. So the story is this guy sees a girl on the escalator and he instantly falls in love. He taps her on the shoulder and tells her that he wants to meet with her at the top. She goes along with it which I guess is fair. Id personally run in the opposite direction because I dont talk to strangers let alone strange men. He says hes in love with her and then he finds out her age: 18 and shes still in high school. I refuse to believe she was originally 18. I feel like she was 16 and that they aged her up in the translation. Hes 29 though he initially tries to lie about it saying hes 25. He basically wants to sleep with her but he cant since shes still a minor? Thats what I got from it and he cant do anything illegal because of his job. This is part of why I dont feel like shes 16. Its so obvious that hes trying to take advantage of her it makes me sick. She looks young too Like she could be 1415 And he keeps talking about taking her to a hotel room. Heck the first question he asks her other than her age is Are you a virgin. And that isnt an appropriate question to ask someone you just met let alone a child Something else that didnt sit with me was the emphasis on her trying to seem mature since a lot of predators try to make their victims think theyre mature for their ages and thus can date adults. It just doesnt sit right with me. And then she realizes that shes old enough to legally marry and then they go sign a wedding certificate and kiss The End I dont even think you learn the characters names They know nothing about each other Literally nothing This man is a red flag if he pulls aside a girl on the street asks to sleep with her and then keeps trying to get with her even though shes actually underaged? The older Brothers Conflict characters are angels in comparison to this man and they are just monstrosities in and of themselves. The art isnt even that pretty. I dont think either one has a decently interesting design. This isnt even me bashing agegap manga. Ive been enjoying Takane Hana and Promised Cinderella. Just this one has such unsafe undertones it makes me uncomfortable. Dont read it. Id rather read the Among Us manga or rewatch The Kissing Booth than read this again. Im very scared for whoever wrote it.
