(ogre.natalie.mu)
Premieres January 12, 2025. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the first season from AniList:
Rentarou Aijou was rejected 100 times in middle school. He visits a shrine and prays for better luck in high school. The God of Love appears and promises that he’ll soon meet 100 people he’s destined to date. But there’s a catch—once destiny introduces someone to him, the two must happily love each other. If they don’t, they’ll die. What will befall Rentarou and his 100 girlfriends in high school?
I haven't started this yet. What kind of age gaps?
One of his "girlfriends" later is...14.
Edit: ICK. One of his cousins later becomes one.
She is 12.
......
Oh jeez. That's worse than I thought.
And the subreddit is completely okay with this. They're like "oh he HAS to date his cousin because she will die..." "It's fiction" "it's a harem anime, incest was expected" etc
Without ever stopping to think...you know the mangaka could have just said "no, I don't think I should write that?"
Are you new to manga and anime?

I think no one really pays attention to fictional age in anime. People tend to enjoy the show.
The biggest age gap is between the MC, aged 16 and his 89 year old girlfriend, who is the grandmother of his other girlfriend. As you can see, this series takes itself very seriously.
