I’m so conflicted about this one… I’m a teacherXstudent HATER and rooted for the first guy. Yes, he was an a-hole but the teacher is like an a-hole deluxe. They’re kinda similar in the way they see each other as a tool of hatred/pain to be used against others. First guy was just dropped completely from the story and I honestly didn’t want the teacher to be the next love interest. At first I though it was a story about two musical students, but the story is really about a person’s soul and music. The tension was always there, but it did unfold better than I expected. The story has such deep and nuance emotions portrayed and the art is STUNNING. Hard to drop but also hard to get through. A bit disturbing but also realistic? Borderline grooming, but a fine line between hardcore mentorship and viewing MC as vessel for music/sound rather than as a person (which is less creepy in a bizarre way). I think they can both come out better if they work their way though this so I do want them to be together now. So much suffering left though (like the manager part) before they can be happy. I’m hoping for a happy ending. The sadist/wholesome puppy dynamic is a bit… completed. Binge read these 120+ chapters in one go.
The artstyle is so stunning and unique. Especially the expressions and emotions, like crying/tears. I’m gonna pretend the teacher is like 40 (I would like to think 30 but I think he looks older) and not 50/60 at worst. I’m not a fan of the much older troupe but the story and art is just too beautiful. It’s a colorful and expressive story without using actual coloring.
Thank you! I must have missed it. It’s a bit hard to tell bc of the artstyle sometimes, especially in the beginning I though he looked really old but once you get immersed it gets easier to tell.
