To me, it wasn't "wrong" in either of our circumstances; as you say, it's simply what happened. And my god, your guy was only 8 years older than you, right? The Puritan Little Girls here, and maybe you, would freak out if they knew how much older my gentleman was. :D Many times throughout my life, I have thought back kindly on that man and how good he was to me. He may have saved my life.
Please don't let these Puritanical Little Church Girls force you into feeling badly about a relationship you DON'T feel badly about, and shouldn't.
I had a very youthful experience with an older guy. It's the best thing that could have happened to me at the time. I was closeted, lonely, depressed, all the rest. That man saw me, not the person I pretended to be, for the consumption of all the homophobes I was surrounded by.
It was very brief. I never once have felt bad or sorry about it. Don't let these neo-Puritans make you feel bad, either.
Isn't it strange that that's what they want, for us to feel bad/guilty/shameful over something that was an unqualified good in our lives at the time? Actually no, it's not strange at all. The Puritans want you to validate their black/white worldview, because they are insecure about its validity.
Semi long post. The way episode 5 made me feel kind of emotional is something I didn't expect. I was 15 when I…
Glad to see at least one other mature perspective here. The Puritanical Little Church Girls are outraged, I tell you, outraged, over the tutor's hotness. :)
Well… the second half of episode 5 was pretty good! Fun group trip and the confession was so emotional. Unfortunately…
The tutor didn't mess up anyone, the high school boy who dumped him after flirting with him did that job on him. The one who needs a wake up call is YOU. Perhaps you're too busy touching yourself to all the "grooming" and "inappropriate" behavior, to the point that you are unclear what's actually going on.
Wow… really wasted half the episode trying to make the tutor sympathetic. Yet even skipping through those scenes…
Dunce. If you skipped the scenes between the tutor and Akira, you're not watching the show at all and really should put a sock in it, as you have no idea what you're talking about. Your calling Akira "Kanata" is the tell.
Man I was so close to dropping when I saw that we were halfway through the episode and still on the pedoline.…
So, to be clear, first you devoured a Manga (? You didn't specify.) about a "pedoline, sweating your filthy pleasure at the outrageous, horrible plot, and now, you are watching an adaptation of the Manga about the pedoline, touching yourself through five episodes, so you could come here and express your horror at it all, is that correct?
If you think the tutor made "Akira feel dirty and undeserving," you're not very bright and you're missing the story. Akira's classmate, who flirted with and then rejected him, is the one who made him feel like shit. The tutor may have saved his life.
💯 he was an adult, and Akira was vulnerable and in middle school, and he knew it. I can't get down with it…
Did you know people make mistakes? Did you know that people who make mistakes make dramas interesting? You don't have to go out and nail a minor just because someone in this show did it.
Did you know that nobody asked you to "get down with it?"
ohk after today's ep I still feel like the tutor guy could've handled that the other way as an adult instead of…
I know, don't you hate it when characters in dramas aren't perfect, and dare to act out flawed, human behaviors? It always pisses me off so bad! The universe is good/bad, right/wrong, white/black; no gray areas should be tolerated!
Back in reality, however, the so-far apparently shady behavior of the tutor is one of the most important elements that make this interesting. Do you only watch shows in which all characters are perfect?
"...his own way of getting out of this." What is "this?"
Wow, that's some fine acting, the understated, realistic sort you don't find much of in BLs. Could have done without the "group trip" trope. Why don't writers at least try to come up with original scenarios?
So much Jbl dialogue consists of "eh?," "mmh," and "so, that's the way it is." :) Then, there are Jbl apology scenes which go like this: "I'm sorry," "no, I should be sorry," no, really it was my fault," "but, it was more my fault than yours," "no, I'm sure it was my fault, even if it's not"...etc. :)
The more endorsement deals this actor lands, the more eagerly Lily Malice and the Cnetz will be hunting for the slightest bit of dirt to take him down. They're extra hungry for a kill since they failed to destroy that Korean actor recently, over the bogus tax "controversy."
I hope ZLH is either pure as the driven snow, or that he's able to keep his human frailties a secret.

It's telling that YOU, who have nothing to do with aadJbbw1's experience, are "sorry" about her first relationship, but she's not. :)

You're missing most of the plot. Just drop it.
I am, however, enjoying reading all the outraged comments from Puritanical, MDL Little Church Girls.
