Hmm... I'm a little indifferent when it came to this. The main reason I like yuri (opposed to yaoi) is because it doesn't involve a lot of that ræpe genre bullcrap in order to make the characters fit each other, which, I guess this one didn't really have ræpe? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure to be honest lol. If it was consensual, then I can see myself giving this a better rating. But outside the "romance", this felt to quick to be just 6 chapters. I could be wrong though, but the last chapter did say 'The End' so who knows. This had the potential to be really good had it continued, like, I can see these two characters both escaping their shitty life in order to find happiness with each other while trying to lay low. I'm just not vibing with the ending. Seems... incomplete. But, like I mentioned I'm not sure if this is the end, so I guess we'll just have to wait in see. With more chapters explaining the characters, what's going on, and maybe a slightly better translation, I may just go back and give this one a higher rating. All-in-all, definitely wasn't a horrible read, just too many questions and not enough answers for me.

I Adore you, Teacher

Not vibing with the story one bit. Like always, the art is breathtaking, but this story was... everywhere? I don't even really know how to articulate what I thought about it. I did want to like Seonmin, and I did in the beginning, but pitied her towards the end. The professor is just straight garbage for reasons outside of cheating and manipulation, and I don't even know where to begin with Yujin. Like, all the characters were bad and the ending was horrible. I'm so surprised too because this authors other works are pretty decent, not sure what happened here. Drama be dammed, this was hardly entertaining to read, it just just an amalgamation of sex scenes and nonsense. To give such a complex plot to characters we know little to nothing about and no time to even developed a connection with was bound to end bad, but this read was an all time low for me sadly. There's no one to feel sorry for, no one to be happy for, no one to root for, no end goal or anything and I hate that Yujin still ended up getting her happy ending. I hate that I couldn't enjoy this read, but even so, I still gave it 3 stars just because I love literally every other manhwa the author has made, this one just didn't sit right with me.
