So I really need to take this out of my chest, I really like this manga, the style and comedy remind me a lot of Rumiko (I adore her) and I have nothing against mangakas going out of the usual formula or add some angst and slow-burn, BUT in this particular case my heart is saying NO.
I mean, I've been rooting for Nakamura since the ch.1 even with the feeling that his crush may not be reciprocated at the end, but looking at those two becoming closer was enough, I was really happy, but now this new development with the teacher made me mad ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ, specially since this second volume the jokes arevgetting a little more cruel on Nakamura, and it feels that a gap has formed between him and Hirose, 1 step forward, 3 steps back, and with the teacher now I feel that those are like 100 steps back.
The teacher was cool in the first volume, and, in my naivete, I thought that Hirose was going to just get a "man crush" on him for the jokes, and because they do seem quite similar, being kind of rebellious inside but projecting a more innofensive aura, thats basically not the real them. It was ok for some development but Hirose but, my boi blushing and having doki doki's makes me worried, thats a crush and the teacher acting so creepy makes it questionable at best, a good mentor doesn want to "talk alone woth you in his car", or keep the whole thing a "secret" teacher I trusted you （/TДT)/ . If thats a jokr is getting out of hand but I still hope is just that, honestly.
In my delulu mind too, I think MAYBE since the teacher is like a more mature and open version of Nakamura (to me they look kind of similar) Hirose may be getting unconciously attracted to him, but that is maybe a stretch, since, for what I've read from some readers, this mangaka has a thing for student x teacher :( .
Storywise that adds some spice but I really don't want to see Nakamura getting hurt like that.
