I got the ending I wanted but at what cost. What a tasteless and trashy manga this was. It’s obvious from the start who Yua will end up with and while I found the ending of the story to be sufficiently satisfying, there is so much absurd drama in this volume.
This volume takes a dark turn and the final conflict felt so dumb. The whole story was sloppy and Yua, while understandably confused and far too naive to know what she wants, just becomes a frustrating character to follow. One minute she accepts that her relationship with sensei is not good for her, the next she’s right back in his arms while also fighting feelings for his son. It’s all just so, so stupid.
This series was awful in the way that it handles relationships, especially grooming relationships. There are so many better manga out there that handle these topics with better developed characters and storylines. Skip this one, it is not worth it.
