It's alright. Wouldn't work if the genders were reversed though. Or at least, the rating would be way lower than 6.5.

Both the 15 year old guy and the 27 year old woman are experiencing love for the first time, so they're really awkward and pure. There are some risque moments but they're kind of appropriate, and they actually de-escalate over time as the protagonists get to know each other and decide to take their time.

The only unrealistic thing is how accepting their friends are of their relationship, even though it's illegal. It makes you wonder if they'd be okay if it was a 27 year ... old dude being in a relationship with a 15 year old girl. I don't think they would...

But since the relationship in this manga stays pure overtime and there's a nice twist in the end, I end up rooting for the leads. Hopefully it works out for them.

Still, this one is weird, but it managed keep me interested, the art was alright, there was no unnecessary drama at all, and the characters were kind of based, therefore I think it's worth reading if you want something somewhat entertaining but not really that deep. At least I wasn't bored for the 2 hours it took me to read this.

Mixed view. Generally I found it awkward but cute, and took some real suspension of disbelief. The ending was adorable but getting there was a little farfetched. Art was nice, main characters were earnest, and I felt like the other characters were a bit weak and were just plot devices. If you don't want anything too serious, it's ok. If you want serious, that's probably not going to be what you find here. I could have done with each character being a little older to get the high schooler to third year instead of first, him being 15 was ... a bit far for me.

This series is criminal. Literally. The manga explicitly brings up multiple times how illegal it is for a 15 year old boy to date a 27 year old woman. Were the genders to be swapped, this would just come off as extremely creepy. It's still a pretty uncomfortable aspect of the series but putting that aside, you get a pretty standard trope ridden high school romcom. Aside from the elephant in the room, the main issue with the series is its inconsistent tone. One second you're reading an uncomfortable ecchi panel, then suddenly the leads are having a down to Earth conversation about what they ... mean to each other. The constant ping ponging between risque fanservice and surprisingly wholesome moments kind of gives the reader whiplash. Honestly just the fact that this manga about illegally dating a minor is largely wholesome is kind of a shock in the first place. Better that than have it be all ecchi though I suppose. Additionally, the side characters are plain at best and actively annoying at worst. I don't think their removal would be a good idea, but tweaking the characterization of select side characters would go a long way in improving the series overall.
