Kind of like a Disney story, but with sex.

An interesting start, but derailed into this weird May-December romance.

Not to say such things do not work -- obviously people of all ages and culture and gender could get together and have amazing relationships -- but I cannot deal with a man nearly 60 behaving like a teenaged boy around another innocent *cough cough ignorant* Mary Sue.

Surprisingly moving... sometimes, I'm a bit of a softy, but I forget.

I found the stylized prose lovely, and the two main characters are adorable, literally.Looking forward to seeing how it compares to the rest of the series.
