It's just no adult should find someone in these specific stages of their life (adolescence) attractive. I'm highkey bitter cause I'm always trying to find mature romances where they're of appropriate ages but their interactions tend to be so childish and unnatural. I like the banter and art in this and how there are awkward and embarrassing moments. Idc if it's fiction since some people that are young romanticize this inappropriate dynamic.
hm i guess but in the end this IS a manga and most mangas don’t really have “mature” moments, especially when it comes to shoujo’s. yeah it is hard to find what you prefer(mature romance) but if you don’t like how the storyline is i would just give up trying to read other mangas cause most of them are gonna include moments where they are “immature” and “inappropriate”
When I say "mature" romances I mean adult. Not grade school adolescent romances. Mangas always have moments of immaturity since that plays off of comedic relief and adults can be childish, as well. This is inappropriate in the sense of the age differences and the power play that comes with student/teacher relationships. I don't think you've interpreted my comment well. I have found nice romance mangas with excellent dynamics (Living, Eating, and Sleeping Together is one example). Like I have stated, I do like aspects of this story except for age difference and yaknow, him being a teacher that's making advances towards a vulnerable student (wanting to kill herself over rejection is irrational). Besides, having criticisms towards the story does not mean I'm critiquing those who enjoy it as long those that do enjoy it know that this isn't a relationship to idolize.
yeah i understand what ur trying to say. i did interpret ur comment wrong, sorry. tbh what you’ve stated are good points to keep in mind, like idolizing this kind of relationship and with the age gap, the teacher is behaving quite immaturely. again sorry i didn’t mean for it to be offensive.
Lol please, don't be sorry. If anything, I'm sorry if my comment came off too blunt or argumentative. Not my intention nor was I offended. I just wanted to voice my opinion and tried to make it straightforward but rereading what I wrote, I can see how it can seem defensive. I appreciate your kindness and concern.
I really like that kind of person since it's a rarity to come across in stories and even in actuality. He's straightforward but at the same time not since his actions come from a place of pleasing others. Such an odd character that I still feel like there's some slight malice lurking behind but I hope that's not the case.
Loooooove established relationships. Don't get me wrong, we love that pining shit but once people get together, im bored. But these two? CUTE AF. REAL AF. ENTERTAINING AF. The perspectives? Brilliant. Ritsuko not liking children? Same.
I would like to know so I can be smoking the same thing. I'm in awe of the sheer ridiculousness. How can someone come up with this and it's hilarious and absurd and uncomfortable. It took me a while to get through the chapter cause I had to just put down what I was reading just to properly be able to comprehend and grasp what was read.
So many stories use this character AND I'M STILL NOT TIRED OF SEEING IT. We do need more career representation since there are many to choose from. The tropey stereotypey novelist that's antisocial or rude and has an angsty back story need to be retired, nonetheless.
That's what makes this a good read since it's very human. You can say shit about each and every character and you can, also, empathize and see why they did the things they've done. Nonetheless, this story is, overwhelmingly, messy af. Gorl do not have that baby.
Really appreciate how thorough they are with the translator notes and the manhwa itself is translated really well. It's not easy to capture the energy of conversations well.
