No. Definitivamente no es para mí.
Tal vez hace algunos años lo hubiese disfrutado, estoy segura que si. Pero ahora con 24 años la verdad es que es una historia vacía. Lo poco interesante que tenía para mostrarnos aún no lo ha hecho y no voy a seguir leyendo.
Si te gusta el romance simple, con problemas y trama cliché. Esta es una buena opción. Para despejar la cabeza, para leer algo ligero.

Excuse me, she was 15 until now? Gross.

I find it utterly hilarious that the Rescue Team always seem to find a reason take their shirts off and act as if it’s completely normal. Ebihara-San is garnering more attention, but how will Moe-Chan deal with this…the plot thickens.

If you're into man in uniform, want to try something new and comedy romance, full of life & friends with less conflict, then try this manga 😋 .
You know , i'm a bit bored with 3rd party that always exist in almost every manga to stirred up the protagonist's relationship. So far, none of that happen.
Ebihara is just to cute, he's a stoic wholesome guy (not to grumpy but not too soft, just perfect 😍) His playboy friend is my type 😏 but okay let just focus on Ebi (poor baby ♥️)
The FL also not the immature ones whose always want incessant attention from ML, also not the too optimistic type. I think so far i like both protagonist ♥️

This continues to be a really sweet series. I love seeing Ebihara come into his feelings for Moe, and it's just so full of blushing I can hardly stand it! I can't wait for more in this series!
I truly just can't get enough of these two, and the people around them rooting for them to have a relationship. Age gaps can be hard, but this one is done REALLY WELL!!!

Continues to be cute
I knew she was in high school and he was an adult but they just said that she’s 16 and he’s 22... liking it less now... I will probably finish it, but won’t recommend.

This isn’t the best manga series I’ve read. I can’t think of anything that really makes it special compared to others of its kind. It is interesting enough to keep reading.
I must have missed it earlier but noticed the girl’s age in this book. Ech. I could keep reading it, like I did Game of Thrones, picturing the characters a few years older but is it worth it? I dunno. On one hand I think, there are only 4 more volumes available, on the other, I may have to find a new series.

How old is Ebi?
Not gonna lie, finding out in this book that Moe is only just turning 16, it makes me quite a bit uncomfortable. I was hoping she was 18 or something.
I still like the story, but I just wish that Moe was aged up.

SUMMARY
moe sasaki her local fireman but she has no clue that he actually likes her back. she keeps trying to douse her feeling for him or, at the very least, hide them.
kyosuke ebihara is intent on maintaining their friendship strictly that, without any non-platonic involvement. he likes her but he’s convinced himself to only care for her by keeping emotional distance.
🔥 age gap
🔥 firefighter
🔥 slow-burn
SPOILERS
moe & kyosuke were locked inside the storage closet on campus together. moe was seconds away from admitting her crush out loud when mitaka unobstructed the door to be able to open it.
there’s a new member to their fire station and he happens to also be an old rival of kyosuke.
ryu, moe’s eight-year old little brother stops by the fire station to ask kyosuke to plan a birthday party for his older sister. all the other fireman chip in and help plan the party to make it one for her to remember. kyosuke agonizes about what to get her as a birthday gift and decides to get her an orange teddy bear, since that’s her favorite color.
kyosuke has a media interview scheduled for the morning of supposed day off. he tries to hurry through the post-interview tour of the fire station to get to her birthday party in time but he keeps checking his watch to see that it’s getting later and later. he starts to run out of the fire station to try to pick up her present in time. on the way there, he sees an old lady get scraped up avoiding a passing bicycle. he carried her to the nearest hospital. afterwards, he went to go pick-up her present.
moe calls kyosuke’s cell and his neeest coworker answers the call, explaining to her that kyosuke left his phone in his locker but that he left the fire station at four. worried for his safety, she goes out looking for him. they run into each other and he’s relieved to see that he’s okay. he gives her the birthday gift he picked out and she absolutely loved it. he makes sure she gets home safely.
i don’t like that it’s supposed to be her sixteenth birthday party, so i’m changing it two twenty-one instead. i’m subbing high school for college courses.
moe passes a sign seeing that the fire station is offering courses on first aid. she wants to be able to help those in need.

It was fun to see how a shojo cliche such as the school festival was tackled in this series. Moe still struggles to express just how she feels towards Ebi, but she's okay with just enjoying the time she spends with Ebi. The second half of this volume is dedicated to Moe's birthday party, which the squad was supposed to attend, but of course things happen and complicate the party! On a weird note, I appreciate the fact that Moe still has moments where she mourns her father's death, like when she thinks Ebi is seriously injured. Grief isn't something often talked about, but I think it's important to show that it's normal even after a year to still have moments of sadness after such a loss. Otherwise, nnother solid, cute volume!

deciding to drop this series at Vol.5, nothing exciting has happened the last couple of volumes. Ebi’s character is really bland to me and Moe is literally only obsessed with him because she thinks he’s cool. In this volume she turned 16, which was off-putting to me. I thought she was 18 the entire time lmfao, so the fact that Ebi whom I’m assuming is over 22 likes a 15-16 yr old girl is just too weird for me. Even though the relationship is wholesome and nothing inappropriate has happened, it’s still weird and the volumes aren’t exciting enough for me to read 10+ volumes for her to turn 18 and for them to finally be together.

Still enjoyable, but kind of "eh" for me. I know that the main girl is 16 now and that the main guy is at least 20. I'm not exactly thrilled about it, but I also don't think that's too much of an age difference. If she was 20 and he was 24, I wouldn't even blink. Story-wise, that's all I can think about, if I should or shouldn't be shipping them, haha. I am going to read the next volume as well. The art is cute, too! It occurs to me I've never said anything about it.

15yr old with grown adult
Was already on edge because of how much they mention her being in high school and him being adult but thought she was around 17/18. They also talk about how childish she is often. Thought I could look past it but finding out she was 15 put me completely off I was going to recommend this to my underage sister because it’s cute and not spicy thank god I didn’t I refuse to let her think this would be okay

Still more of a 3.5.
This is still cute, but I'm still not loving this. The development is a little too slow for me. I still feel like I don't know what Kyosuke has with Moe. Like he's trying to be a father figure? But also low key likes her? I think? But it's hard to tell. I just don't get much chemistry from them because it's so one-sided for Moe.

I really liked this but she was 15 and he's 22... why are the adults acting like its normal for a 22 year old to be interested in or entertaining a 15 year old? She turns 16 in this volume. I mean, its not done in a creepy way but the adults acted like it was normal for a grown man and a 15 year old to be together. They aren't yet but still... a little weird

SO addictive!! (although their age gap is a perennial thorn in my side that's constantly poking at me whenever i find myself ouuh-ing and aww-ing at their cute moments. therefore i try not to think about it too much haha & let myself enjoy the cuteness of this manga and its stunning artwork)

I can see the Moe’s action makes Ebi more aware to acknowledge his feelings towards her. Can’t wait for the next volume!
April 29, 2023
