The cover art caught my attention immediately. I like the super detailed panels even more. Some of the less detailed panels are meh.
Didn't recognize the mangaka by name somehow. Prism was a bummer, but I loved the art and story. Stretch wasn't my cup of tea. I don't read much slice of life, but the characters were interesting enough for me to follow along for a while.
I'm creeped out by the age gap. I don't care about biological maturity; I care about control dynamics. Most movies, books, tv and other media featuring age gaps do not touch upon the imbalance in capital, legal power, etc. The romanticization bothers me. But most romance narratives only cover a short segment of life and don't show how "regular" relationships often fall apart either. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Regardless of what other manga have done, this chapter already shows a naive girl interacting with much more life experience. I might prefer if the story focuses on the vampire and whatever the heck she's trying to do. The kid can be an observer...
Definitely reading the next chapter, but I don't see myself following this for long... *sighs* It's so pretty...
