4.9, ffs like.. the Seme is truly one of the most FINE characters I’ve ever seen in any BL manhwas/mangas of this style (iykyk). And it is quite cute, their development, how their feelings come to fruition, etc. Honestly a part of me did really like the storyline, to be chased after by an extreme attractive very popular individual who only has eyes for the Uke? Of course I’m into that. BUT, I can’t with good conscience get with it to rate it fully stars because of a couple things: 1) the blaring red flashing neon lights that this is an ADULT non-consensually hitting let alone KISSING and touching a minor (technically multiple w/ the Uke + two female students). 2) the fact that he did it twice, he apparently pushed a student down and pinned her on the table, although after the incident he contests that he was hit on to the Uke, immediately after the Uke ran off he literally told the female student he apparently “got aggressive hit on by” to come see him another time? Idk feel like we moved past that too quickly. 3) Alrhough this is a lesser of two evils situation I’m about to describe- in plots that use this age gap dynamic, they usually at the very least decently wait until all parties are legally consenting adults (18+) yet this one alludes to the fact that the Uke is still a minor because at the end, the Uke heads to the Semes place but has to hide on the side while the Seme chases off the students who were looking for him/his house (Supported by their end conversation after coitus where it seems they discuss the Semes business as a teacher). I think it’d be just as good/even better better if the plot was applied to a College Life story or at the very least waited for the Uke to go into college and is in his second year or something. The only reason I feel quite swayed is I admittedly have harbored feelings for that Teacher x Student dynamic as a student- what can I say, I like someone older than me
