i know y'all aren't coming in here to insult natsume ono like this

That art they're insulting can get sold as high as 250 USD for her DJs that aren't even mint condition. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?page=1&keyword=basso&lang=en
But this site has always been like this even if they knew the author. Why else would amazing mangaka like Nishida Higashi, Yoshinaga Fumi, and Natsume Ono herself get low ratings here, while trash like The Titan's Bride get 9.4+ for being unapologetically pornographic?

Haha, actually as soon as I pressed reply I was like welp you forgot Est Em.
Yeah, you hit the nail right on its head. They say art is subjective, but I think that part about being subjective goes hand in hand with exposure. Which is why we're in this position of a lot of pretty trash getting popular with not a lot of substance. Because that's all they'll ever read.
I honestly now just go here for recs from lists since it's an active community (even if 90% are horny teenagers sharing ripped webtoons). There's a higher probability of more coherent discussions to be had in myreadingmang@. While I go to mangad3x for HQ scans.

i'm not normally a fan of teacher x student relationships, having been on the tail end of it (my 24 y.o. teacher asked me out when i was 16 and it was GROSS). this was really cute. i think there's something wonderful about how they could find solace in each other. tfw i got emotional over a math exam score lol.

Even the maturity of a 26yo and a 20yo is so much difference, this one manga was the most "correct" with dealing with age gap relationships (waiting and making sure of the decision n all)
Thank god you rejected the pedo dude bro, i got looked at weirdly by a 20smth when i was 14 while my 14yo friend dated a 21yo, gross and scary

yes, i agree! this manga handled the situation much better than others with the same premise.
i'm glad you also evaded that pedo.. how anyone could look at a 14 y.o. sexually is mind boggling. so gross. i remembered when i turned 24 i thought "i'm the same age as that teacher now, but if you asked me to go out with a high schooler i would puke." at 24 i wouldn't even date someone in college tbh, just very different stages of life.
they are such a cute family ;-; i'm looking forward to the next volume~
