I almost skipped but I'm so glad I didn't...age gap tag please so the enthusiasts like me can find it!!

Also, I think the pages are out of order for the first chapter, the omake should be later! :D

Thanks for pointing that out :) I'm still getting used to uploading on Dynasty so I have some wrinkles to iron out

not tagging this as yuri??

Isn't this an essay manga?

Really cute, though you do need to overlook the fact that they probably started dating when Minato was still a minor.

Thanks for the translation and uploads! The series is very enjoyable so far

Maybe the series starts after they've been dating for a year lol

How nice it got upload to dynasty! ^v^

I think it’s more of an autobiography since the story is about a real-life couple, as they wrote on their Twitter page. :)
(The description on Dynasty says it's an essay, but I’m not sure what a manga essay is, so I think it’s an autobiography)

They were already in a steady relationship when the younger girl was 18. That leaves very little leeway.
Anyway, I don't know their exact circumstance so I'm not judging. It's just something that stood out to me.

Manga essay is how they call this type of series on YuriHime. Our Days Under One Roof by Inui Ayu is another one.

Yay I was hoping I'd get to read this some day thanks for the scan!

Ah I see, yeah in fairness I'm very sleep deprived right now so I'll have to read the series when I'm fully awake.

I can at least say though that I had family that moved out when they were about 18 to go live with a partner that was 10 years older, I'm not sure when they started dating, but about 20 years later even after they parted ways that partner is still a family friend. Life has a lot of unique and complicated circumstances, so it's hard for me to judge this series too harshly I suppose.

Not in Japan, where age of consent is 16 since 2023 (used to be 13).

Age of consent =/= age of majority. When the former is lower than the latter, a minor can legally consent.
The age of majority in Japan was lowered from 20 to 18 a few years ago. Minato was a legal minor, Minato was able to legally consent. Which is also beside the point; I don't think the original commenter was considered with legality, only ethics.

Not sure people want to make this forum about issues of consent, grooming, and age-based power imbalances though. Because I can't resist, I'll leave my opinion at: I think making a manga about a real 20 yr old/30 yr old couple is weird.

Yes this age gap is quite unethical. As a 24 year old lesbian, if there are any 34 year old lesbians who would like to discuss the implications of this with me, please let me know.

Subtle. The yuribait has been set in the trap...

Had me at "autobiographical"

Just literally the day after i finish rereading Inui Ayu's manga, this drop. This is perfect.

very very cute, i really enjoyed inui ayu's autobiographical thing too and i'm happy to see more of these. and yeah エッセイ has vibes of "non-fiction work longer/deeper than a blog post but remains personally expressive/subjective" vs the academic feel of "essay" in english.

it wasn't until i became a valid onee-san target for age gap enthusiasts on dynasty that i truly felt my age.......

I don't. SImply pointing out that despite the hilarious fixation of too many peple for the magic number 18, it is not always THE magic number. In Japan is less, in some countries is MORE, and in mine is not even a number but a sliding scale based upon the age of both partners - but that's besides the point. The point was, "hey, she is 20 and she has been in a relationship for exactly 2.1 years, that was a no-no because of 20-2" is not... a valid mathematical equation unless the characters happen to be in a very specific part of the world. In other worlds, is an issue about "excesive local country prism". That the issue happens to be related to AoC is just a happenstance. (emphasis edited in for clarity)

Clearer now?

also, so not to double post

I understand you, sister. Be glad - some of us are ara ara targets :-D

Do not fret!! It only goes up from here, real onee-san enthusiasts will love you for decades

I'm just amused by the temporary temporary ring, lol

Well, ain't that the sweetest fucking thing.
Thanks for the TL!
