She was a little older than he. Manhua

In a crowded train compartment, Kaoru Momota, a high school student with a heart of gold, found himself face to face with a young woman in distress. Her eyes, wide and imploring, spoke volumes without a single word. Without hesitation, Kaoru stepped in to protect her from a group of rowdy passengers, his teenage bravado overcoming any fear or doubt. After the chaos settled, the woman introduced herself as Orihara Hime, a fellow high school student. Her delicate features and air of mystery captivated Kaoru, igniting a spark within him that refused to be ignored. Days turned into weeks, and Kaoru found himself inevitably drawn to Hime, her presence like a magnet pulling him closer. As their connection deepened, Kaoru mustered the courage to confess his feelings to Hime, only to be met with a revelation that shook him to his core. Hime was not a high school student - she was a 27-year-old office lady masquerading as a teenager for reasons unknown. The revelation struck Kaoru hard, forcing him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about the enigmatic woman who had captured his heart. Despite the deception, Kaoru couldn't turn away from Hime. Her vulnerability and hidden depths only served to strengthen his feelings for her. As their unconventional relationship blossomed, Kaoru and Hime navigated the turbulent waters of age, identity, and love, discovering that sometimes, boundaries are meant to be challenged, not obeyed. Through their journey of self-discovery and acceptance, Kaoru and Hime learned that true connections transcend societal norms and expectations. In each other, they found solace, companionship, and a love that defied all odds. And as they embraced the beauty of their unlikely bond, they realized that age was just a number, but the depth of their connection was infinite.
