It is unfortunate that this anime did all the things a lot of us hoped it wouldn't do. The conclusion ended up being a romance. After all the back and forth, the Middle-aged man x teen high school girl won, again.
The entire time this anime kept trying to send the message that Sayu is a kid not to be sexualized, and yet it continued to show her in titillating scenes and made her a fanservice doll.
All the drama in this story had no point, literally the only message you can take from this is "Don't have sex with a girl if she's still in school and you're not" but by the end, even that point fell flat on its face.
Also, this anime brushed off an attempted rape/blackmail scene, an abusive parent scenario, and an illegal (apparently) co-habiting situation like it was nothing, lol.
