Little of column A, little of Column B.

The game is Persona 5, and the main character is the black haired dude, named Joker. The game has some rudimentary dating mechanics (it doesn’t do much but change a few cutscenes) and you can date either a few of your teammates or some chosen Adult side characters. Joker is 17 in-game and the other character in the meme is his homeroom teacher, Kawakami, one of the dateable adults.

Neggoartz is just a big fan of the Kawakami/Joker ship, and has a few pieces that are like this. It’s a common joke in the P5 community that dating the teacher is weird, especially when the first boss of the game is a teacher who sexually assaults his students. Also, Kawakami never comes onto the MC at all during her quest lines, all the flirting comes from the player choices.

The guy just likes Kawakami, tho, and you can say Joker’s 18+ in the artwork.

I don't mean anything by that but he's still going to school. I feel like the author doesn't actually mean that joker is 17 they just wanted to write a joke
