A sweet and Mature-rated Boys' Love romance between an introverted salaryman and the young man he meets in an MMO game! Office worker Usagi Akira lives for two things: shojo manga, and the spare moments when he can log into his favorite MMO, Tail Earth. There, his avatar is a beautiful bunny girl, and he's able to go on adventures with the charming wolf-boy Gakuto. When Gakuto asks if Akira wants to meet up IRL, Akira agrees. Sparks fly between the two guys--so Akira and Gakuto decide to date. Neither has much experience when it comes to romance, but these two are eager to figure it out together!

Then Gakuto proposes that they go to the Tail Earth fan convention together. Although this risks the possibility that Gakuto won't measure up to Usagi's shojo fantasies, he ends up agreeing to go, and the two of them hit it off really well in real life. They decide to go to an internet cafe and play Tail Earth together...and things suddenly get much steamier than Usagi expected. Not only does this not fit his shojo romance expectations, but there's the issue that Gakuto is a high schooler.
No spoilers, but there are other awkward revelations in this, and one moment in particular made both me and Usagi feel like our souls had left our bodies. My horror, it was immense.
This is a BL manga with on-page sex between a 25-year-old and a high schooler. The high schooler is the more sexually aggressive one through most of the volume, but still. The volume's problematic aspects are acknowledged by several characters (Usagi and one other character, who calls Usagi a "pedo" but whose actions indicate he doesn't really have a problem with their relationship), but acknowledgment is about as far as things go. It doesn't stop Usagi from allowing Gakuto to take things further between them, and no one else seems to have much of a problem with their relationship. Granted, some of the characters seem to view it like getting to watch their favorite BL romance play out live - more a story for them to enjoy than reality.
It's a shame, because I thought Usagi and Gakuto were a cute couple whenever I was briefly able to forget the age difference. Gakuto came on way stronger than I generally like (especially during that internet cafe scene - they'd met IRL for the first time that day, and they were basically in public), but he did attempt (unsuccessfully) to tone it down later. I thought there might end up being some gender-related complications as well, considering that Gakuto initially fell for Usaco, Usagi's female avatar, but that wasn't the case. Overall, I also really liked the artwork.
But...yeah. I don't know. And the way BL manga ended up functioning as a sex/relationship "how to" was also kind of concerning (although I guess it depends which ones? but still...).
