Omg i realy am feeling a lot of emotions right now because of rereading this again. Omg i was like 15-16 and year later 19 im reminiscing it again and yeahh i do have load opinions on this one. First of all its kinda true that the author has a lot of restrictions on this one. Since you know it deals with age gap and all. Teacher x student so of course a lot could have mixed opinions on this trope but it was a breath of fresh air for me since i was young since you know this a trope thats not common in my time i guess. So i remember really obsessed with this like my fav promise and also like i was waiting for the chapters all my life with this one so i still remember like a lot of the scenes so for me i leave with a nice memory of this one. BUT, yes rereading it now with some maturity, i guess i did find the studentx teacher trope to be a bit irk to me? Becore i was OBSESSED cus you know like the men wont really do anything till they reach 18 so the level of tention is just insane and i love those kinds of store BEFORE but now i have to think of 'morals' here. Youre prob thinking, oh its fiction you shouldnt mix it to reality. but realistically speaking, the author was potraying a slice of life manga, i would totally think of that starement if this is a fantasy or something but no this manga also deals with true to life scenario so when a teacher with a 10 year gap to a stusent of course ill think that hes grooming her. Thats why the breaking point for me is the confrontation of the uncle and sensei saying that this is still a starting point in her life, like she still starting her life and learning something about herself and for him diba? You get me? And like the confession scene wherein he said that if hes going to quit his job, suzume didnt even hesitate and said that shes willing to follow him. That made me think na, shes willing to sacrifice her life (idk o.a) but like shes willing to make irrational desicions since shes clearly a child right. So of course in her hear, shes willing to sacrifice for this relationship. So for him, i guess he just abused the power din just because of jealousy idk. But i do think na people were you know constricting the author kasi a lot of those chapters would focus for the two. But mamura was added cus its kinda scary to make these the leading shoujo manga even if there are some themes wich would be bad in real life. So i guess im kinda satisfied in a way but the lack fo communication and kilig from the couple kinda gets me mad so yeah i think i can agree to people that it can be dissatisfied. But the ways sumuze handled the confession is amazing i really like it. Shes smart in her age so props to thatt i love the author nonetheless, and like this opinion would be completely different than what i had before since im team sensei and suzume but i guess yeah people matured some things change but my love for this manga and the author would never! Thank you forever my fav!! <3
