I deleted my previous comment to outright say it IS rape, Woo Won repeatedly saying "Stop", Seo an saying "I thought you liked shoving it in me" indicates that Woo Won does not want to do that right now, hence no consent being used. "I'm not listening to you today" is also an indicator that no matter how much Woo won said "Stop", Seo an will not listen. We can clearly see Woo won is distressed during the sexual intercourse, that should NOT happen at all. Seo an saying "Then get it up" to Woo won is also a way of forcing him to have sex, despite Woo won wanting to stop. Woo won not answering to Seo an's "I thought you liked this" but Seo an continued anyway despite it. Everything about this screams non consexual. Do I really need to spell it all out like this?
Waiting for your student to become legal just to intiate having a relationship with them is not normal, guys. I get it, the intent is not there, the teacher is not grooming the student but it is still wrong.The teacher WANTED him when he was a minor! Adding a number to your age doesn't change that. A minor just turning 18 feels like fucking yesterday, it doesn't mean they're immediately granted the title of an adult. I can't believe I have to say this, but dating a teacher in that age would get me killed. The teacher has more experiences being an adult, having to learn years after years just to earn his degree as a teacher, and then his partner is a freshly graduated HIGH SCHOOLER and just recently turned 18 years old when he is just starting to enter a whole new life being a college student. How is that not wrong??? I can't believe I really have to say this.
I agree with you. But I can't put it in proper words, but I think that humans are fucking complex, our emotions are a whole universe of shit-show. So I think it's posible for a person to feel that, it's similar to having intrusive thoughts because you know they're there but you know you won't act on them. So as long as a teacher doesn't lay a hand on their student even with or without "emotions", I think that's acceptable.. Of course there's different categories of "want", if it was in a more disgusting manner it's more off-putting than a teacher having sort of "pure" feelings of just affecting and love. I guess it's relative to the situation, the people involved, and it's easier to theorize about it when it's just a story rather than it happening to me or a close friend/family. So yeah it's wrong, but depending on many factors it could be less wrong? Idk
It's actually a mental illness to have that predatory thoughts on children, so as long as they won't act on them AND get treated, it's fine. There's a case when they have these thoughts and they don't want it all. In this case, even if it might seem "pure" and "love", like I said, the intent is not there but it's still wrong. It's still a teacher having feelings to a student and the said student is the more "aggressor" in the relationship. But what the teacher should've done is to not encourage it at all. This manga could've been cute if the teacher met and fell in love with him LATER, rather than when the student was still a minor. If they desperately want a student x teacher trope, then make an appropriate age gap between them and make the setting on college. It's that simple, really. I haven't seen that kind of story, it's always on high schooler which is fucking sad to be honest. Age gap is not an issue when they are consenting ADULTS.
The raws in this artstyle is up to date but I'm linking it anyway since a part of chapter 67 is cut off: https://mangagun.net/manga-kusuriya-no-hitorigoto-raw.html
The other raws in a different art style (also has a different name called "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Neko Neko no Koukyo Nazotoki Techou") has way more chapters: https://mangagun.net/manga-kusuriya-no-hitorigoto-neko-neko-no-koukyu-nazotoki-techou-raw.html
I will never not stop dissing the Duke, especially after he bluntly stated that he can and will abduct Maythan. The fact that he can even hurt Maythan is all I need to be sure that he will do so much worse to him in the future. It's worse that he's acting like it's not a bad thing. Pretty privilege exists to accommodate this guy.
Forgot to say this, but if the SA turned out to be one of the MLs, I'm gonna immediately assume that the author wants to paint the other MLs in a bad light just so they can uplift the "main" love interest instead. I'm sorry, but even though if it turns out that the Duke is not the culprit, I'm still not gonna like him. The bar is so low for me to like him just because he did the bare minimum of not sexual assaulting someone.
I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying.
