I read a little bit of the manga, the guy shuts down any idea of him and the girl having any relationship in the 2nd chapter. its mostly about the guys relationships with his coworkers

Yes.

If you have to ask somebody else, I'm pretty sure you've answered your own question already.
Unlimited 5y
Yeah sure why not
smartweeb 5y
I’m up to date with the manga and so far there’s been none of the romance you’re thinking about

There's anime fans that's into loli right now, I don't think this anime would even come close to that shit let alone other shits that I wonder why they even exist

Also, in Japan it's legal so it's ok according to the laws in Japan. Hell it's even legal for 2 highschool students to get married without the presence of their parents

So almost all of these relationships you see in anime involving a large age gap like that, yeah that's pretty much the norm in Japan, even the movie Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift a scripted line was said by a character to the main character about him should get a high school girl because they're easy and because every else does it

  Legal doesn't mean right. It's still creepy.
  Frokie 5y
  Well each person have different values.... can't Blame anyone if it's legal.
  egoista 5y
  It's still morally fucked
  
  It's okay to have different values than others, but not in this case since you are negatively influencing the life of a minor/teenager

Age is subjective

  I like how others say it's fine
  But I immediately get mixed responses XD
- ProbablyAEuropean 5y
  Hell noooo
  Absolutely not.
  Life experience and the development of the body and the mind is not subjective you raging pedophile.

it's not normal to see it in anime but actually in real life japan and some countries girls tent to fall in love with guys in their 20's and 30's. so i don't think is that weird coming from that perspective cause it happens sometimes
carothersmarx 5y
it's common in asia in general, not just Japan.

i am reading the manga and I gotta say the male protagonist has a clear sense of responsibility and he is aware that she is a mere teen.

If you realize that it is just fiction then I dont see too much of a problem with it
RetrOtaku 5y
You have to consider the age gap may not actually be as wide as you may think it is - In Japan High school last much longer than it does in the west with most finishing HS at 18 and some even reaching 19 so the age gap between her and the older person would only be 8 years tops and not really that bad.
- ProbablyAEuropean 5y
  when i was 17 , i dated a 23yr old and i can tell you the age gap is HUGE
  to be honest even at 18 you're still a child barely knowledgeable enough to survive in this world.
  Thinking otherwise is just letting ones pride speak instead of reason...
  
  I'm only really okay with this because it's fiction
Mcabraljr 5y
its just anime
Canada 5y
Made me think of this
Nisashi13 5y
that would be the question you should ask yourself, a lot have no problem with this because it is just fiction, they can do whatever. Not like anyone gonna watch this and think it is ok to date older man.

Ever heard of Koi Kaze? If not, watch it. There's a 12 year age gap, plus blood incest. If that's fine (and it certainly is, there is no pandering whatsoever), who cares?

  "There's a 12 year age gap, plus blood incest."
  That's probably why no one has heard of that trash... You just answered yourself.
- rrristarte 5y
  No wonder no ones knows about that garbage LMAO.
- marking 5y
  Koi Kaze is such a good anime. To anybody reading this, watch it.
  saintrotation 5y
  No-one will, because they've read the synopsis before watching it.
BrothyNoodleSoup 5y
from what I saw she dropped out of highschool, so ~16, which is the legal age in most of Japan (legal age of consent is actually 13, but most laws and codes raise it to 16-18)
weebdonny 5y
There's not really a romance so yeah I'd say this will pass the FBI test.
MoD0oSo 5y
Sorry but it's not kk, kinda pedo imo
- paroexe 5y
  dw chief, the idea of that kind of relationship gets shut down pretty much immediately so its all good.
  MoD0oSo 5y
  Its all good to watch it or the fact that's it's bad to watch it?
  xXDisappointmentXx 5y
  It's all good to watch it lmao, judging by the manga it's just as they said. He makes it very clear that he is not interested in her romantically and any approaches like that get shot down immediately.
  MoD0oSo 5y
  @xXDisappointmentXx aaaaaah in the manga he says that the idea of that type of relationship is impossible (I didn't understand well srry)

They're just some made up characters brother. Nothing to worry about
DrSexy 5y
Ehh after watching multiple hentai I'm desentisized from this stuff in anime.

Though irl that definitely ain't ok
proma21 5y
@Creeperchan Don't worry. It's pretty mature about it. Watch the first episode than drop it if you are not feeling it.
Removed 5y
The manga itself doesn't have anything bad, I just really hate how the title is worded. It sounds like he's purposely making himself look younger to bait school girls like a predator lmao.
dddddaisuki 5y
did you do it
trippedonmydreams 5y
it's fine if:

it's anime and therefore fiction

it stays fictional and doesn't become an obsession that carries over to real life

it's not actively condoning for this or romanticizing it to make it seem like a good idea, thus having a possible influence on people who might not be developed enough to understand why it's bad

it portrays things in a semi-realistic manner since these things do actually happen

it's not fine if:

it becomes too romanticized and paints the ordeal as if it's "uwu cute and sweet look at us breaking out of social norms"

it becomes an excuse to justify that behavior in real life
- xXDisappointmentXx 5y
  I mean also the two don't get into a relationship anyway so it's chill
Neenan 5y
I've been reading the manga, it's very clear that the main guy wants NOTHING to do with having some sort of romantic relationship with the girl. A lot of the plot covers MC's romantic life outside of his home and how the main girl handles her previous "relationships", if you can call them that.

Essentially, it's not a romance between the two. This is very clearly established in the first chapter and likely in the first episode, which is releasing today.

  Ok thank you so much. this is the best comment so far. I saw romance in the tags and I didn't wanna read a romance between a middle aged man and a highschooler.
  Neenan 5y
  I'm glad I could help! Enjoy the show, it has been a fun read for me!
- Removed 5y
  does that mean that this comment was wrong too? https://anilist.co/forum/thread/24346
  Neenan 5y
  The comment isn't necessarily wrong, but a little misleading.
  
  From what I understand, they're concerned that Sayu, the high school girl in question, might "win" in a harem scenario because she was the first one the main character met. Although in more recent chapters there have been a few mentions from OTHER characters that Sayu and the MC might fall in love at some point, so far nothing has actually developed between the two. It seems like @Nisashi13, much like myself, is hoping that something like that does not happen.
  
  Unfortunately, it isn't phrased the best and gives notion that the two are going to get together/have a romance, which is not the case.
  Removed 5y
  Thank you for the response! I was a little worried after seeing that comment but now I will check the show out.
  Neenan 5y
  Of course!
  Nisashi13 5y
  yes, the manga as of now just hint it like the highschool girl like him because he is kind to her (not to love level yet) and also throw a lot of characters around his age there as @Neenan said. That said, it is not rare for a romance series to have different age gap and just let the main girl win no matter what so i don't want to let my guard down yet.
