kei_k's manga / #Student x Teacher(10)

5

It's just one of those stories that make you respect a guy, especially being a teacher. Unlike most student x teacher stories, Kazuma was actually mature enough to wait for Fumino to graduate before going further. I also really liked that Kazuma as a teacher wasn't thr popular type that would threaten Fumino more bec of his fangirls. It makes you think it's realistic somehow (except of course the saving parts lol) and make you believe in true love.

Similar to JR's plot.. But still not convinced seme actually loves uke

Ahhhh, I really want an Itou for myself... He's too good to be true yet he's not exactly perfect... But being an understanding and open-minded person as he is, I feel like his type is someone who'll surely suit me. His not so good moment in this manga was when Fujioka, who resembled him a lot and had a more convenient and favorable position to date Shimada appeared, and he got too caught up being an adult and not realizing his jealousy, causing them to drift further apart. His unease was unwarranted, knowing how Shimada felt towards Fujioka at the time was pure. But I guess, it can't be helped, because it was only a matter of time when the conditions could lead off that direction and he was simply afraid to watch his lover fall for someone else. I would to. The bad thing there was that, even though he was someone who'd always preferred talking about feelings and problems openly to each other so they can resolve it quickly, he kept mum about it. But oh well, I'd say Shimada was too naive back then to not realize that Fujioka was a possible threat to sensei. Anyhow, I'd still want him. He's the type of guy who'd patienly wait for you and love you unconditionally even when things get tough. I mean, let's face it. The reason why he decided to separate was because he felt Shimada was gradually wavering (from the moment she talked about Fujioka happily)... Well there's that... If I have to say, I guess there were too many love rivals that it got pretty annoying, but I salute Sensei for not wavering even once. Itou Sensei - Nakajima sensei (co-worker : dumped her... refused to 'comfort' her even when she needed it the most), Misaki (ex-student, ex-girlfriend : let her stay the night when she came crying and being desperate, but he stayed in his car... afterwards, clearly told her off.), Arisa (aggressive and persistent freshman : was considerate since he's a teacher and protected her because he was in the position to... he sensed her dangerous vibe early on so he hinted on to Shimada... didn't give in to her advances despite all her tactics and drawn the line early on.) Shimada - Katayama (goukon guy : dated him halfheartedly 'cuz she's rebellious), Nagisa (pushy and persistent freshman who reminded her of her past determined self : claimed she didn't want to hurt him so gave in and went out with him a couple of times), Fujioka (same-aged Archery club pres who resembled Itou in a lot of ways : heart wavering because it's like dating sensei but being more comfortable and open about it... since the beginning, she admired his form saying he's beautiful and whatnot, and she easily spilled her thoughts and feelings that she couldn't open up even to sensei. In other words, her perfectly safe haven.) See the difference? Err well. Anyway, it's really hard to judge Shimada that badly 'cuz every teenager has her troubles. I mean, I probably would've felt and done the same, who knows. But if my guy was someone like Itou, I feel like I can truly believe in true love. But how do I know that my guy would be like Itou anyway? Do we have to go through the same ordeals? 'Coz if we do, I'm not sure I can handle it before I even confirm he's like Itou... ahh well. I'm just so in love with Itou. He's my ideal, mature guy. And it's a bonus that he's tall and wears glasses, really. Super attractive and lovable, not just with the appearance, but personality as well (I really like the cold vibes he gives off but being very caring with someone he loves)...

It was pretty good, but the last chapter was super rushed. I liked how the romance took time to build up, but suddenly jumping like that's a bit too much. I would've liked to see more of them in their actual relationship than just like that. Read: 03/19/18

start: 06/03/18 update: 06/04/18 ~ ch98 06/06/18~ch99 SOOOOOOOO GOOD! NOT A DULL MOMENT.. 06/14/18: ch100 ~ UH. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I FELT LIKE THE ART CHANGED A LOT AND I SOMEHOW COULDN'T ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS BEFORE. I MEAN, IN THE PRIOR CHAPTERS, I EVEN SAID THERE WASN'T ANY DULL MOMENTS... BUT NOW?? I JUST FELT LIKE MC TOTALLY CHANGED HER ATTITUDE/PERSONALITY AND UGHHH I DUNNO. SINCE THEY'RE GETTING A NEW WRITER, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'LL BE BETTER OR WORSE.. BUT ANYWAY.. THE OG WRITER IS RETIRING FOR HEALTH REASONS, SO CAN'T BE HELPED.. IT'S JUST REALLY A PITY. SIGH

ch4

start/end: 11/11/18 wish there was more... i really liked the fact that sensei waited until shiraishi graduated before moving further into the relationship.. i mean i don't exactly hate it when they do get it on while they're student x teacher, but this just makes it even more special.. and yeah, i expected more.. would've given it 5 stars no doubt.. but the ending was super rushed.. it's a pity. it should've gone at least 2 volumes (10+ chapters) instead of cramming them in 1... :(

read this a lot of times already.. dunno why I've never tagged it. I must've forgotten every time. Σ( ￣□￣||) // sequel: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/paradise_view/
