Ran and the gray world is the story about a little girl who has an extraordinary amount of magic. Its a slice of life series however there is a story here as well. And unlike most SOL that try to blend plot together this one actually did it surprisingly well. Now this series took me by surprise. I wasn't exactly sure what the series was about as in the beginning it actually looked like an age gap romance however it became much more than that. Now some of the characters fell flat and the main romance was.. weak. The series did almost everything well. The side romances, the story the artwork, the tension the angst. All of it was well done and addicting but the age gap romance was poor. Age gap itself is a thin line which done well is exceptional and shows the quality of the author but done poorly leaves an incredibly bad aftertaste. And the author doubled down on the poor age gap romance rather than loosening it. Now i liked the other romances in this series as well as pretty much everything else. With the exception of the age gap all the other poor parts of this series were actually minor when you consider the series as a whole. And i definitely absolutely loved certain parts of it. Now the older in the age gap romance was actually the most interesting character so it wasn' a complete situation. Overall the age gap brings the series down from Epic to just awesome instead. Also the author clearly has a fetish for older rough men.
