@Ahluche Second to none, really. They're all beautiful and cute.

what can i say, im a sucker for fluffy romance and this is a fucking treasure trove

this manga has the best covers

Despite what I said 14 is a weird age to write about n eg the music teacher relationship would be better if they fleshed out a more meaningful relationship. Otherwise it just looks like “Yh older chicas r hot !”- pubescent teenager . Is the reason for writing about it. Esp since he’s 14 it’s just got crazy grooming energy .

@menscultureunion fr reading this release by release must be so jarring when it’s all that.
On your second point ur totally right but there’s no solution really to that in that genre. Right or wrong though , as a guy I can only (semi- depending on the male char) accept it older lady to younger guy way. Maybe it’s because I know people in relationships with a vaguely similar situation or maybe it’s because I just can’t imagine being “groomed” the typa stubborn dickhead I grew up being when I was young lol. Either way in this case 14 is styl a bit mad - the ones where it’s 16 to whatever age lady r realistically acceptable just thinking bout how I matured as a kid .

More pls

pretty good, but I feel like the relationships that I care about get overshadowed by the onslaught of the ones I don't. I don't care about the girl observing kanata, I care about the people she's observing. And some of the relationships like the music teacher just feel scummy. She's basically actively preying on kiddos and the other teacher who knows doesnt care.

How should I say this,
Starting chapter very nice,
The many couples being formed,wonderful,
The behaviour of every single character in this story.......never before have I wanted to massacare an entire society in a lite manga like this.

If u guys dont like age gaps then this is probably not a book for u since the whole concept of this manga is about how love has no bounds and everyone has feelings and r entitled to their own feelings (even if it's an older women to a younger boy) and sumtimes people just cant help feeling a certain way even though they know it's wrong or abnormal. It's also a manga to show that even though the characters are 14 they can still be able to have mature feelings yet at the same time still being just a kid. Honestly y do so many people have a problem with this manga? Ud think that people would get used to the age gap genre by this point especially since it's a popular in manga. For those who dont understand age gap let me explain, it's the idea of these two people who come from different times still being able to bond and fall in love with each other despite all odds. And also sumtimes the whole "even though i know it's wrong but i cant help but love her/him" kinda exites sum people

absolutely hate the relationship the
music teacher and that student have. It's disgusting...

I feel like if they bumped up the ages on the students this would be less weird. Immoral, yes there are reasons why it is illegal for students to date teachers but less weird. Especially for the music teacher and the student, 14 year old and maybe 20 or something. Like Christ alive, I can only imagine the shit the author would get if the genders were reversed and I refuse to let it slide just because it’s a young boy instead of a young girl.

So yeah... Basically, this is a story where we follow the lovey dovey adventures of Yoshikawa and Tanaka, the serious people in appearance(pretty good in my opinion because it's just wholesome) with a bit of unrequited love from shinshi (is that correct?) a lesbian, toward Tanaka.
On the side, we got Nagai the delinquant and the Music Teacher (She's 24 so... Yeah. Age gap. I totally get why people are weirded out and even straight up, hate this couple. But I'm fine with it because... It's a shit reason but I like how they feel together, they kind of are a good match.... If it wasn't for their age and social standing, and even these factors add on to their good chemistry).
Ah, and a 3rd Year peeping Tom (this guy is really creepy. Stalking your sensei because you like her is bad) that is literally OBLIVIOUS to the girl next to him having a crush on him.
There's even more couple but those are the only one we can really talk about when talking about the first volume.

Outside of the main couple, there are also a bunch of interactions, crushes and other friendships.
A lot of simple crush toward adults and unrequited love toward others.

Overall, there is a LOT of stuff that I love. I consider this a pretty good read if you just want 14 years old experiencing love. If you don't like age gap and stuff like that, well you should probably stick to the main couple.

happy new year to the translator!

The main couple are alright, I think the wow we have to act mature cus that's what people think of us is kinda dumb for a pair of 14 year olds but wtv I can accept that much. What I don't understand are the Spoiler

On the brink of dropping this cus the other relationships are so weird and the main couple's interactions are the only thing keeping me interested.

I started to read this because of the high rating, but my god. Nearly every character other than the main couple are just unbearable. We got angsty annoying yelling delinquent kid, super creepy pedo teacher lady (let's face it, the only reason anybody defends this relationship is because she's a woman and that's "hot" and not at all super creepy), the token annoying third-wheel lesbian character, weird peeping kid who's obsessed with a teacher like he's an idol otaku or something, and that's just as far as I read. Jesus Christ. It's especially annoying because I feel like the manga focuses way too much on these side characters rather than the relatively likable main couple. And the main couple characters aren't even that particularly interesting, they're just not super unlikable like the others. Yeesh.

I want to keep reading in hopes it gets better, but it's tough. Gonna have to drop this one, and I wanted to write down my thoughts on it as I do.

@phrogsley In my opinion almost everything goes in literature and fiction, but agree with you that the main couple is the reason i started to read this, and the reason i keep reading so imo it’s pretty annoying that so little time is allocated to them compared to the side characters who almost gets more time. And it’s especially bad now that we need to give time to another side character (whom is a character I personally find really annoying), that is directly taking up time from the main couple.

@GlennAvocado dude mark spoilers, and Spoiler
And finally I’ll chime in on the age gap - maybe it’s personal preference kicking in but I’m not opposed to it per se, and so if both people are working for it and they are emotionally mature and socially responsible about it, I’m rooting for them. If not, then no, but I think it’s been okay so far.
