So saw the raws on b&TO. And it was chill for 4 volumes, nothing big happened. It was pretty smooth sailing with their relationship development and the teacher wasn’t an actual obstacle to them getting together. Then came the fifth and final volume. It’s like the author wanted to ruin their manga for the sake of cramming in drama in the final arc and then resolving it like crap.
Basically ML and FL are at a festival and are having fun, then run into the teacher. The ML immediately just wants to leave and the teacher tries talking to him but falls down the stairs and gets injured/knocked out. He immediately lets go of the FL’s hand, calls out “eri!” (Her name) and runs to her. Then proceeds to go with her in the ambulance and leave FL behind. He also doesn’t answer any of the FL’s calls afterwards and then finally his first text is “teacher is safe.” Then he shows up at school to talk to FL, and of course the typical “I gotta take responsibility” bullshit. Saying that the teacher is really injured and even has amnesia, and that she has no one else to take care of her cause her parents are gone too. FLs like “how long will you take care of her? Forever if she doesn’t get her memory back?” He apologizes a lot and leaves (basically a break up).
He basically takes care of the teacher and thinks of his past of how they met and even got together. Which btw if you didn’t think it was bad enough that she’s a highschool teacher who dated her student, she met him when he was in middle school and she was his tutor. (I believe she was a college student at that time). He thinks of how during that time she was a comfort to him cause his mom died and he was going through a dark time in his life. So now he feels like he has to be the one to comfort her during her hard time. Anyways as this is all happening there’s a rival and of course ML is upset seeing the rival and FL being close. He’s sad, etc. Then the teacher gets back her memories after like a month, and you know the first thing she does? She confesses that she still loves ML. So if it wasn’t bad enough that she knows it ain’t right she still wanted to continue the relationship. Anyways ML rejects her saying that he used to like her and she accepts it telling him she knows he likes someone else now and to go to her.
The issue gets resolved when he runs to FL and sees the rival almost kiss FL but stops him. Then ML confesses his feelings for FL, talking about how he promises to do this and that. Rival easily backs off and leaves them to talk. And she cries and takes the ML back. Then there goes the scenes of them smiling and graduating. So the issue and resolution all happens in 5 chapters. No groveling from the ML other than being sad when he was apart from FL seeing her hang out with the rival. FL didn’t give him a hard time either and easily accepted him. But yknow what else can you expect from the textbook cliche shoujo manga. This reminds me of that one manga that got uploaded to w3bto0n with a similar premise (ML exes with teacher), and it spent like 100 chapters of ML still loving the teacher to the end, while the FL catches feelings for him at one point and she’s just supporting his love. Then at the very end when ML and the teacher finally get closure, FL confesses and ML just smiles, open ending. So no progress and a waste of time.
