I still haven't finished the whole thing as the english translation is still coming out but there's only one thing that disturbs me in the manga and this is not the age gap itself but the fact that he basically watched her grow, literally raised her and ended up like that. There's a sensitive line when it comes to stories with age gaps, especially when there's a minor included and I think if Keiya has waited a bit more until Isaku turned 18 would have been better, at least for me. I think both in Europe and Japan the age of consent is between 14-18, ... in Japan I'm pretty sure it's 14 which explains almost every manga available out there. I do not like that, but it is how it is. The fact that she likes him, though, makes it way easier for me. I've seen students in school who had relationships at 15 with way older guys so that's not even something new to me. As long as the girl likes the guy and the relationship is safe for both I got no problem with it, which probably keeps me hooked to this manga. I took some time to get over the "he raised her as a little sister" moment though in order to continue.
I love yakuza stories, I like the affection between those two so I'm patiently waiting for the rest of the release to see how this whole thing ends

Nope, nope and nope again. Someone has obviously watched Kimi wa petto before writing this but it turned out quite bad. Maybe because it's better to come up with your own idea than base it on something already done. The fl is so annoying I could barely keep my composure. She's exactly the type of women I hate. Making herself look so confused and loyal but in fact she's not. Just a slutty little brat that can't even decide who she likes, it made me mad even though that's just a fiction. Maybe the fact that there are many women like her in real life ... made me angry, idk. There's no character development whatsoever, the female is dull, the annoying male lead's personal drama looks like it was made to justify his behaviour but it's just weak. Did he, as a pet, changed her attitude, like her ex pointed out? Hell no. Because the author never tried to develop this part of the story. How is he better than her actual boyfriend? He's not because he's simply tormenting her mentally and that is also pointed out as something totally okay. Is he childish? Yes he is and a 16 year old child can't look after another child. I was rooting for Kurogane for obvious reasons. "I love Kurogane but I love Anri too".... oh give me a break will ya.

I wish I could say a good word for this but unfortunately there was nothing new, the story is just plain boring, there is no character development, no exciting drama or romance, no nothing. On top, as usual, the manga started with a sempai sexually abusing a minor and this somehow was portrayed as something completely normal, again and I'm kind of getting sick of this. Thank god they refrained from stretching it further and the male lead was acting normal until the end beacause I'd have dropped this way earlier. Maybe everyone's anticipating to see them sleeping together? If that's all what you're looking ... for then that's the right manga for you. The rest is a waste of time.

Since it's ongoing I can't tell my opinion about the whole thing but so far so good. As some people before me already mentioned, whoever plans to drop this manga after reading the 1st chapter - DON'T. You will miss a lot. This manga is not the usual (school) romance, it's not even focused on school, there are way more details to the personal stories of all characters and I can't wait to see what's behind the messed up mind of the ML because I'm sure there's more to it. I love the female lead, she's the funny yet strong type which has her personal ... opinion and she's quite edgy. I have those pitiful feelings about Shouma and I like him a lot (dude's been hot and loyal af) but I guess his role will be just the same as it is. His personal story is really interesting though. Kirishima's attitude bugs me a lot but I'm looking forward to his character development because I'm sure or at least feel like there will be a serious change in it so I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters.
