| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I never seen or read the manga before announcement of anime, so i'll see. |
 |
| I have no idea how this will turn out. From the synopsis, it looks as though it could treat the subject with respect and thought, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. I'm very curious as to how this is going to be executed. |
   |
| They aren't real people, so I don't care. |

| Plot twist: she falls in love with the guy's son. ..Jk idk. the age gap is gross |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| It just says she is a high school student.. If she is 18 then ?? who cares. My bf is twice my age (I'm 23, he is 46) and idk what the big deal is with age gaps. As long as both parties are happy adults it's none of your business. |
| The age gap is tooo big ,but yeah if it's mutual then it's fine but I'm still a little bit sceptic when it comes to age gap romance ,yeah i know we live in 21st century but still it kinda feels weird |

| I am up for it as long as it mutual. Age gap doesn't stop my interest in the series. |

| The guy is not weird, well you could say he's awkward in society but from the manga I can say that he's not dangerous at all. I can see why she fell for him. |

iaia said: The son is primary school age so it would just be another age gap haha --- I've read 48 chapters of this manga so far so heres what I can say about the plot. Its really not that bad, I know that a 17 year old and a 45 year old is a really large gap but it's done in a really tasteful and sweet way. (I don't know if this is really a spoiler but I've hidden it just incase) There is nothing but innocent, bittersweet feeling about youth and past regrets. It's a really sweet story and the manager isn't some kind of predator like what I think a few people are thinking. I just hope when it airs people at least try watching a few episodes before writing it off as a 'creepy age gap' Ohh I see. Thank you, I didn't really know. |

| PV looked like sweet romance. |
 |
| I don't think it'll be that bad. I guess we can only wait, or read the manga. |

| Hmm, this is a rare story for anime, so I think it will be interesting. And PV is realy cute |
| Sorry for my english |
| Really interesting premise,haven't seen anything similar in this medium+it's a seinen and since I'm a sucker for romance this is definitely a must watch. |

 |
| I highly doubt there's any romance in this with that age gap. My guess is it's predominately youth meets maturity, past regrets/experiences, future fears, etc. - like Lost in Translation, possibly. |

| I've read the manga, for the most part I enjoy it and it isn't at all creepy. That said, anything more than about a 10 year difference is what I find to be quite frankly, disgusting. But to each their own. |
 |
| I have little problem with large age gap couples when both individuals are mature adults. What gets me is the fact that the girl is in high school, and is still very young and has little life experience. I'm not sure if the girl is old and wise enough to understand what she is getting into, since she doesn't even know what adult life is like yet. I'm interested to see how the series goes about consoling the age gap issue. And by interested I mean amused. |
  |
| I guess it's not a big deal if they are doing it right. I've read few chapters of the Manga and it's actually pretty good from what I've seen. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| Disgusting, i am not going to watch it. The age gap is too great. |
| I just read the manga (well, most of the chapters, there are some that are such a complete bore that I just scrolled trough). I think the age difference won't even be the main problem of the show, it will be the "plot" :/ The manga story is just that bad, there is next to no character development and all relationships looked completely "just because the author wants it so" to me. I did not see anything that would even remotely explain why the female lead is so madly in love with her boss. The author throws mad amounts of effort to make the male "lead" look as pathetic as possible, wtf is his problem?!? I don't understand this, its like the author wants to tell us "no matter how pathetic or old you are, be nice and keep dreaming, there is that gorgeous teenage girl that will fall for you just like that". Really, the only good thing about this crap is the art. And its not even that great, its just good and completely wasted on this "story". I will give the show a shot, but if I hear "tenchou" more that 20 times in a single episode I think it will be instant drop for me :D |

LeeTailor said: This show sounds like "what if the child high school student consents tho" the anime. "Oh, he's such a nice guy™, no one else understands him but a high school girl. He's so nice, in fact, that he's totes not attracted to her." I'm not judging anyone who is interested in this show (I might just check out the first episode myself, and I'm not going to pretend that I haven't read worse than this), but I'm sure it's going to be funny when people on MAL will bend over backwards to try to argue how it's actually totally okay to date a teenager as a 40-year-old man as long as you're nice. dae le man of culture [...] By the way, just because something is legal / illegal, doesn't mean it's unambiguously okay / not okay. Remember how slavery used to be legal in the United States and other places, and how homosexuality is illegal in Russia, and lots of other countries? So the "who cares it's legal/illegal" is not really a useful argument when we're discussing whether something is morally reprehensible or not. You basically touched on my feelings on the subject. It may not necessarily be what it sounds like, but that *is* what it sounds like. |

| Well, I had a 17 year old GF (my first one) when I was 19. Then my next one was 27 when I was 22. Then my next one was 23 when I was 25. Then again 23 when I was 29. And again 23 when I was 34. Now, at 36 I am going out with a 19 year old. All serious relationships (1+ years at least, never liked or did the one night stand crap). I can only say the single weird one, for me, was with the older girl. Now even one day older girls is like a no-no to me, just an inner feeling. And that is all that plays, your inner feeling. Age gap relationships can and do work for the right people. Its just that in this crap of a "romance" manga, everything goes because the author says so. And since he really tries his best to make the male MC look as pathetic and gross as possible, people will definitely be weirded out. Just go read chapter 14, their first date, like why the hell was that pathetic crap ever needed? To show love is blind, to that extent, really :D Wanna see age gap show done right? Watch Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii. Yea, it weirded me out, because the girl is older (my personal no-no), but I never thought the show to be crap. And I will definitely finish it when I have more free time :D Or watch Usagi Drop and then read the manga for the ending. Even if the ending was not the one I preferred, its a great show/manga. |

| I was attracted to middle-aged women when I was a child/teenager. I'd rather watch an anime with that kind of age gap, but sadly they tend to be hentai. :/ Or a "Harold and Maude" type romance, even. Say with an obaachan like the one in Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. I'm avoiding this show for now because I'm afraid that any drama with third parties would be painful to watch. "Not once does Koi wa Ameagari make light of the fact that its main characters are 30 years apart. It wants you to understand that the two are facing a monumental hill in order to ever be together." - manga review by @84DaysWithout https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=241979 |

| It's pretty large but I don't care. I didn't think anything was going to beat the 17 year age gap in JR but lets see how well this does. |
 |
| Its disgusting really, its the reason ive been avoiding this series like the pest for a while now. |

I don't understand this, its like the author wants to tell us "no matter how pathetic or old you are, be nice and keep dreaming, there is that gorgeous teenage girl that will fall for you just like that". Sounds like you did a little too much skimming. Could be. Maybe I missed something/stuff was shown retrospectively. But she confesses in like chapter 6-8 and they go on a date by 15 or so (a pathetic awkward date, btw, that she somehow loved!?) and all this time she was shown to be somehow already madly attracted and in love with him. I mean she wets herself dreaming about him (ok she was a bit ill one time, but still, OMG!). All he did was give her a coffee and a little cheer-up with it while she was waiting for the rain to pass. How do you fall so madly in love from a thing like that?!? From what I understood the whole writing and tracking stuff happens after that, right? And, I have to say it again, up until chapter 15 a mad effort is given by the author to show what a pathetic the old fart the male lead is. At the same time she is shown to like everything about him - how smelly he is, how his zipper is always open (OMG!), even his old looks, etc. I know everything is possible, but all this because of a little gesture, no way... If the relationship was developed properly and believable I think the age gap would not spook people that bad. But here I expect most people will drop it after the date episode. |
