That is their business, not ours. It is not a question that needs to be asked.

No one can tell your heart who to love. They are both adults. I know a couple with a 15 year age difference and they have been happily married for 25 years.
Congratulations to sensei and his new bride. Much joy and happiness to you both and your new family.

I thought this way illegal in Japan. The age of consent is in the 20's right?

20 is the legal age where you are considered an "adult" and can smoke and drink, amongst other things like getting a loan or other legal activities. Believe it or not, the minimum legal age of consent in Japan is 13, although most places most places have it at 16 or 18.

On topic to the news, I was pretty shocked to hear about this too. But hey, there was another manga artist who got to marry a fan and she was way younger than him too. Congrats to the newlyweds and I hope they have a healthy child.

You know what would be news? A 50÷ FEMALE manga-ka marrying a hot 20-something guy. Who can we set Rumiko Takahashi up with? Laughing

Good luck to these two. Some would say he is robbing the cradle, others that she is robbing the grave...either way, it's a mutually beneficial relationship!

I say again: ew.


It's a biological possibility. The youngest grandmother I can think of was around 23, so I'd conceivable, but very much unlikely.

A 30 year old age gap will always seem weird, but it's not something that bothers me personally. She's an adult, even if a somewhat young one, so it's okay. A 11 year old and a 41 year old marrying would be a lot worse IMO.
