He is so full of shit! If the guy Outa really wanted to apologize he would go to the organisation that put on the competition and tell that he plagiarized her work. Then they could give the award to another artist or give her credit. Just because he gives her money of buys he sneakers doesn't mean he's really making up for what he did.

I know it’s been a while since you posted this comment but He didn’t really plagiarize..... he didn’t take one of her photos and paint it(and even then that doesn’t mean plagiarism unless he didn’t source her and ask her permission to use her photo or change it to make it more his, etc etc) He got inspiration from her blog and created a painting from the idea that it’s from the point of view from an animal. I think the problem is that he never had someone tell him it’s ok to get inspiration from other people’s art, he assumed that because he didn’t come up with the idea all by himself he stole it from her and that he isn’t allowed to do art.

God damn it! I want to find out what's happening with the creepy teacher. The pacing/organization of this manga is so weird

WHY would you want to know what happened to the creepy teacher? If we know what happens to him, this means that he came back to the school and one way or another Azusa has 90% chance of being raped.
How the manga is organized:
The story is about Azusa and Karino (main couple). Along the way there are side stories that add to the main story like Senzaki's & Karino's brother's where you can see the kind of environnement Karino grew up into etc...

Could someone give me a quick plot summary please?

Well, it's hard to say. It's like a slice-of-life drama about different people in ancient China/some random Asian-like country. Historical style. There is a great war and there are several sects of martial artists/warriors. I believe this is based on a video game. There are many more chapters untranslated. The first chapters give you some background, then I think the skipped chapters are basically introducing the characters, but you don't need them. I know there are books (a lot of the pages can be found on Pinterest--just search for Ibuki Satsuki). You really get sucked into their lives, and the art is very good. Some of her color images (from the game?) are breathtaking! Hope this helps a little.
Why have people already voted on this? There's no chapters yet XD
because most of us read it already :-P
