The way the primary relationship is developed is incredibly immature. What starts as a boiler plate chaste shounen romance with little emotional underpinning, abruptly veers hard into the gratuitous with rhinoceroscrutian grace and nuance.
If I was to imagine what a boy caught in the hormonal vice of puberty would write when given the prompt of "a seasoned fantasy adventurer retires to a small town and falls in love with a girl" it would be this. I had hoped for better.
Each month I forget why I like this and each month I'm reminded again!
