I have a soft spot for age-gap relationships, so that aspect of the story had quite a big influence on my overall enjoyment of this manga. The story is by no means original and very similar to the first chapters of Junjou Romantica (so if JJR is something you like, I think you’ll enjoy this as well). The art style is great and does a good job making the characters look “cool” or “cute”. In other words, the art clearly conveys the difference between the characters’ ages and personalities. I really enjoyed reading this, the “erotic” scenes were pretty tame and the conflicts between characters
...
had a fair amount of angst. Overall, very cute.
As for some warnings (and possible spoilers); The relationship in Milk Tea is between a 30-something-year-old and an 18-20(?) year old in college, although they mention that they had feelings for each other when Mamoru was in middle school. If that kind of dynamic makes you uncomfortable - don’t read. Chapter 2 has some elements of dub-con, so again, if you don’t like that in fiction - don’t read.
You’ll enjoy Milk Tea if you like: age gap, older seme x younger uke, jealously, mean/bully seme, kids in BL, unrequited/one-sided love, fluff.
