It's time for another round of Bad Romance Month, where I look at some of the weirdest romances in manga. We're starting off with an age-gap story, albeit one with a MILF-y twist.
YOU LIKE ME, NOT MY DAUGHTER?! (Musume Janakute, Mama ga Suki Nano?!), based on the light novels by Kota Nozomi and character designs by Giuniu, with art by Tesshin Azuma. First published in 2020 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
For the last 10 years, Ayako Katsuragi has been happy serving as adoptive mother to her orphaned niece Miu. The only thing that makes her happier is seeing how well Miu gets along with their college-aged neighbor Takumi, who is always hanging around. She presumes that someday the two of them will get married...at least, until Takumi confesses that he's always loved Ayako and wants to marry her. Takumi is completely serious, but Ayako's unsure if she's ready for romance at all at this point (much less dating a much younger man).
