kobayashi sensei's vibe actually made me misremember him as a PE teacher for a while. he's giving jock ngl but the fact that he's actually a math teacher makes him hotter. like some kind of gap moe
Ikrr the fact that he's a maths teacher is like petrol into the fire xD
maybe you're remembering that he's the coach/supervisor to the volleyball team? obvs not PE teacher but it's still a killer combo with the maths
that moment where he randomly helped kids to solve math problems on his day off <3
yess that's right and he also wears that polo shirt all the time
i can't believe this doesn't have a higher rating. i mean i don't really care about it when i read bcs it is all subjective anyway but this is just so good. i feel like it's my first time loving both couples bcs they're all so well-rounded and heartfelt.
tbh i find it hard to believe that the first person who brings up the homophobic idea to the kids is another gay man instead of the straight parents from the daycare.
lots of internalized homophobia, super common especially in lgbtq people in conservative countries
i mean yeah but the internalized homophobia comes from the society to begin with but the straight people here are all okay with it. the gay friend is the only one reacting that strongly in this manga.
he doesn't consider himself a friend. he's always hated how "normal" being gay was for Ai but again, sure, society is to blame but it doesn't mean he doesn't have internal work to do himself. working on society won't change the fact that we've internalized things. for a conservative person to be open and accepting, they got internal work to do.
i called him a friend bcs i forgot his name, anyway ai considers him his friend.
what would give him so much internalized homophobia if it isn't the conservative society that keeps punishing homosexuality? but their surroundings don't reflect that bcs everyone is accepting except for him the gay man himself. i just think it's odd that the first blatantly homophobic person in the manga is another gay man. but i get where the plot is going, it's more about the characters' self-acceptance ever since the first vol.
IT'S BREWING AND IT'S NERVEWRACKING. and i can feel so much secondhand embarrassment from satomi but i get kyouji's intention. he only wants to do what satomi wants to do. but i wonder if it's possible for a manga to have a genre change
i feel so bad for mc though i believe ml got his own reasons too. probably family trauma thing that made him hold back a lot but still! how could you just stop talking to him like that, that's so cruel
i love them sm already. they're both so cute. i love how relatable and realistic the mangaka always makes the characters. and thank you translator!
thank you so much for updating!!! I love this manhwa but there was no way to read the rest. I don't even need to reread bcs it's that memorable to me lol
