A 26-year-old should not be romantically interested in a high schooler. I hate when shoujo(s) have these weird-behind age differences. I can't root for y'all if it's gross.

The author constantly brings up the obvious age gap, and Hana isn't impressed by Takane's age or money. I'm conflicted with this story because I like the cheesy humor. I love arrogant, cocky (and smug!) characters that aren't as cool as they think they are with hearts of gold. I also love a shoujo lead that isn't a total ditz who is quick with the comebacks. I like Takane and Hana so much. ;__; And them one-upping each other is fun.

I can't stand this manga for making me love these two characters. Lowkey/highkey it would be just as good without the age difference. Takane could've just been a young prodigy trying to take over the company *shrug* Yes, I'm aware age of consent/respectable dating age differs from different countries and cultures, but from a Western view, it's still a bit uncomfortable.

Still, I already got the first 8 volumes from the library, so I guess I will be reading it.
