Kissing the Flower in Bloom · review
Has the potential to be one of my favorite high schooler x adult romance manga, currently awaiting new chapters The main glaring issue though is that right off the bat in Chapter 1 the ML kisses MC. Why? Well this is vaguely explained like 10 chapters later for some reason through flashbacks (I don't recall if ML even explains why he even loves her especially since their first meeting...?) and MC doesn't think much about being kissed. Come on. Sure the ML is clearly in love with MC which is a refresher for age gaps in modern settings but you can't just narratively brush away somethinglike a kiss on the lips.
But beyond that, the interactions are natural and sweet, and the side characters shine, too.
