18 years - that's the age difference between our two protagonists. This significant gap presents challenges and stark realities, yet it's a love story nonetheless. The mangaka has skillfully incorporated the obstacles that come with such a relationship: the prior history, conflicting emotions, insecurities, differences in life stages, and the emotional and mental intelligence that experience and age bring. These factors are thoughtfully woven into a story that is bound to leave you smiling.
This isn't just a romance with moments between two people hastily labeled as love. It delves into the reality and potentially uncomfortable aspects of such a relationship, which I commend. Musakazu is

presented as a true gentleman, with dialogue capturing his maturity, gentle yet authoritative demeanor, and simple but attractive way of caring and loving. Shihori, while an adult, clearly feels the disparity in life stages, leading to insecurities about her place in life compared to the man she is falling for. Despite this, their age gap is never a point of contention; it just exists. They are two people who found each other at the right time, leading to something more.
The final few chapters felt rushed to me, but there was no need to prolong specific events. Overall, it's a decent read that is romantic, steamy, and a realistic reflection of an age-gap relationship. Whilst some might deem 6 out of 10 as being negative, it is not to me. I think that it did enough with the amount of chapters it had and whilst it could be presented better in other aspects, it was still an enjoyable read.
