I can't help but feel that he may have been a substitute for the sister since it was never blatantly talked about in the story.

I feel the same. It also doesn't help that they look almost exactly alike plus he acts so much like a housewife for "nii-san" but I still believe in their love tho'
I mean it was mentioned that the two have completely different personalities so yeah. Maybe at first it was like that but not anymore? I liked the sister tho' how she was so supportive of her brother's love.

I find a lot of this mangaka's works rather disturbing. The ukes always look so prepubescent and some of them are actually children.

Hello, maybe it's new for you but there's a reason on why they are called shota. And they even put it in the proper tag as shota. Maybe someday you can peek the tags first before read and leave such a reply.
Have a good day.

Ps: it's not shota if they draw 18+ aged boy dating a middle aged man.
You don't call 17or so girl, loli too right?

Not all of this mangaka's works are tagged as shota. Even the supposed university and highschool students look like little boys. Don't get butthurt because I pointed out the very obvious fetish in these mangas. Maybe it was an unspoken rule or some shit like that but it's there and it disturbs me and I'm allowed to make a comment about that. Don't try to act smart before thinking about what I actually said. Did I ever say this manga wasn't properly tagged? No.

I don't think they look prepubescent, but I agree they tend to be young. Then again, I have a baby-face myself (still getting carded at 26!) so I can sympathize with the poor boys. It's rough being treated as a child when you've been a working adult for years.
I think she has lovely art. Her semes always look somewhere between pretty and rugged, which is a balance I find a lot of artists have trouble with. My favourite part, though, is when they're chibi. It's just so adorable!
If it bothers you, though, I'd recommend you also stay away from Minami Haruka and CJ Michalski as well. They have similar styles and tastes.
There are things I don't like either, but I tend to backbutton before I get as uncomfortable as these make you. Hopefully it helps!

You do know that there are people around the world with baby faces right? College boys in my country are like 20 years old, barely finished puberty. I've a friend who reached 30 this year and he still requires ID when going to the movies. Stop your judgemental ass and realise that there are people out there who simply look younger than they're supposed to be and that is ok. What's not ok, is you acting like there's something wrong with it.

I love this manga. I feel like The sequel has kind of ruined my image of the two of them though. It just seems like they are acting so dramatic and immature in the sequel and just keeps droning ooooon and ooooon. I pretend it didn't happen. I love Nitta Youka so I hope there is a way she can salvage it.
Just look at how much her art-style evolves over the years. It's really amazing. You can see how she changed her art-style throughout the series to keep up with modern drawing styles, but it still distinctly looks like her work.

I guess I can't agree with you in the matter of the sequel...Iwaki san is a really matured person and how he always stands up and helps everyone who feels down or ruin is really something amazing. He had a past of hardships that led him to the present him. Its true that he acted childishly overprotective of Katou as he felt jealousy and a sense of competition over him with his own son. But we really shouldn't forget how he helped Yukimaru, Sawa San, Asano kun, and every time Katou, in their time of uncertainty, that shows how truly matured he is. They are humans too, it's only normal that they may run around circles sometimes, isn't that realatable to us? That only shows how much, sensei put her thoughts into making the story with touch of reality. I really look upto sensei and so to Iwaki san for the kind of person he is. For the holes he have, that has been beautifully filled up by Katou. That are truly made for each other to be each others strength in the time of need.

I don't get it though. Is she just constantly moving schools?

yeah, but the first school we see is the most important in the series. Shes an 'observer', until she meets the 1st school classmates. And then when she moves around, she speaks up and helps all of these different people in the school. I dunno, I found this manga really amusing

he preyed on a highschool girl...
her parents accepted it....
