Asaichi is kind of a selfish little jerk...I don't think I want to see any other chapters of this manga. *walks away shaking head*
Ah, thank you for the update, some serious trouble looks to be on it's way, and Kou and Touya are as sexy as ever, and Kamio is trying his best to become their equal. Yummy boys!
So many people are obviously feeling strongly about this - but how many manga are out there with a teacherxstudent relationship? The sheer amount of comments here is quite incredible!
That is not to say that what happened was really wrong, and that this girl is rather nasty, it is just a little surprising to see how many people hate her for her utter lack of maturity - a common thing for high school girls crushing - crushes are - by definition - dangerous.
Although she's young and is allowed to be immature due to her age, her actions also has consequences. In this case a traumatized main character who was at the time a little angel.
For me, and I think for must of us, the teacher x student relationship wasn't the problem, but the fact that she shredded Shirotani's innocence and sexualized his feelings for his dad as said by Bumbumbums.
I agree there is a lot of hatred, but I won't deny I also thought: "¡Maldita!" (damn you!).
I don't wish for her to die but I would want her to grow up and mature away from Shirotani and his dad, she has already caused them a lot of harm.
Too true. I was supremely surprised over the comments going crazy with the age gap/ senseixstudent thing going on cuz i have read tons of yaoi with that genre and nobody ever cried "pedo!" even when the student conterpart was acting immature. I get the hate , in fact i empathize and if it was up to me, i'd like to print and make a cardboard cutout of that girl just so that i could treat it as a punching bag before cutting it pieces and i won't stop cutting until i see blood and i will end it all by burning it to the grond! MIAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ha...ha... Ehem, sorry, i was sure i was going somewhere but my biased hatred towards the little bitch sidelined me so... Bye.
that girl is sick i swear. who's fucking around just to spit a kid in some stupid argument? she just want to vent out her own frustration and jealousy to shiro who's get his parent's love conditionally (of course, because he's shiro's parent)
and his dad is at fault too, for bringing a (female) student to your house, especially high school student without her parents is a big no-no. i don't think his dad is a bad guy, he's only a bad parent-figure
THIS!!! PREACH IT. Compared to other teacher x student manga this one was portrayed to be more real than most. Shoujo manga always beautifies the love between the teacher and student and illustrates it as innocent and such. But the relationship between this teacher and female student is much more real in the sense that these type of relationships IN REAL LIFE are not right in most people's eyes. And just like you said the relationship between his father and the female student HAS real life consequences compared to most shoujo mangas that don't fully touch on this aspect. A child's innocence was lost due to her and his father's actions. IN ALL: shirotani is a precious cinnamon roll too good and pure for this world.(づ￣ ³￣)づ
i mean *unconditionally
Yaoi and Lolicon/shotacon do similar things - beautifying relationships that should not happen - but I do know of a real life case of studentxteacher - because it happened between my 8th grade teacher and his student, and another one in University between my 65 year old teacher and his 22 year old grad student (actually he went through three grad students in my four years at University - I had to have this man teach me for three of my years there because he was the only teacher they had for the course load I was studying) And another case where an ex-acquaintance (24 at the time) was caught living with his 13 year old lover ...
I think the reason why so many people are SO ANGRY is because she intentionally did all of that in front of Shirotani. Now THAT is just sick, especially considering all the problems Shirotani has had to face growing up after that incident.
come on tokidoki she intentionally hurt a little boy out of jealousy, thats just ughh plain sick!
well we are not reading a shotacon here right?
And yes relationship like that happen in real life but I didnt get angry at that... it was for hurting my little baby shiotani
Nor are we reading shoujo - I was just citing examples - calm down! And I would debate the shota element here - there is a little boy watching sex - shota - just saying. It is wrong ... which I have stated.
sorry did I come off like I was angry at you? not my intention
anyway well there is no explicit scene so... not sure though
Yeah, you did kind of come off that way - especially when you said that you did not get angry at a real life situation like that, but are angry that it happened to a fictional character. I am not offended, just a little puzzled by the reactions!
I did not say that I said yep it happens in real life period. And then I said I didnt get angry at the fact that the girl is doing her sensei, BUT at the fact that she did it in front of shirotani out of jealousy just to hurt him... I didnt make myself clear enough with my last post
Ah, okay! Clarification noted LOL Shades of speech are hard to read sometimes - and some of my puzzlement comes from this explosive reaction that EVERYone seems to be having. I guess I have not invested myself very emotionally in this manga -- I like the story, it's interesting - but don't Love it - like some obviously do! Hahaha
I kinda get what you feel, right now this manga is like a hot topic in japan, and Kurose won the first place seme in the magazine... I definitely dont understand all the fuss about that manga lol, but I still follow it you know just want to see where this is going ^^
So much anger being expressed over this one. Folks - it's a Drama, and there is going to be angst. Mind the tags instead of getting mad!
Slowly the clouds draw back on this, and light is revealing the delusions. Like it!
Eloquent, very eloquent.
Why thank you! Chalk it up to too many books I have read floating around like ominous storm clouds in my brain, here some Chaucer (the naughty boy), there some Frost, and over in the corner, huddling over a small brazier, Mr. Shakespeare himself mumbling in iambic pentameter. *snicker* Poor William!
A fan of the classics, ne? Bobby Frost is a fave. LOL "Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening" has the best ending line and I use it often... "And miles to go before I sleep". I remember the first time I used it, too. We were having late night rehearsals for a play in high school, they were dragging on forever, and I heaved a deep sigh and said that line... my drama coach stared at me with her mouth open and then said, "I had no idea you were such a deep person." I just smiled at her and closed my eyes as if to nap. Wow, thanks for helping me remember such a great moment. LOL (▰˘◡˘▰)
Ah, that is one of my faves from him too ... the images he evokes are so beautiful. "The woods are lovely, dark and deep ..." etc.
You are welcome for the remembrance ...
Do you remember, or have you seen, the movie "The Outsiders"? Frost's "Nothing gold can stay" is used to depict the sense of loss when Johnny dies. It was so beautiful and heart wrenching. That was what inspired me to read more of Frost's works and I became an immediate fan for life. My middle son became a fan the same way. (⌒▽⌒)
That was actually the next poem that came to mind. LOL Never did watch the Outsiders - read the book instead but don't remember it very well any more. But to me the "Nothing Gold can Stay" always just reminded me that seasons inevetiably turn, and that life is cyclical and will return.
Beautifully eloquent, as always, toki.
The book is almost always better than the movie. LOL
Wow, how unexpected - this was really poetic and the imagery was beautiful - liked the art too!
Yay! Update! Thanks again to the lovely scanlation team. Things are really starting to heat up here.
Just how tall is Subaru? At times it looks like he could be almost 2 metres - or more...LOL and those giant seme hands!
Finally caught up on all the chapters - I am surprised there are any buildings left standing ... but this just seems to be a manga of one-upmanship for the most part. I love the art, but ... well ... the tropes seem to be kind of similar to Bleach, Naruto and others and it is a little um, bland.
