I know it's not exactly the same. But I've always wanted a story, where the MC was in a supposedly loving same sex relationship.Suddenly their partner breaks up with them to pursue a "normal" life, with a traditional family. The MC goes through heartache and pain then meets someone new. They fall in love, settle down, and have family of their own. The story would end with the MC out with their happy family. They would run into the MC's ex, who is trapped in a horrible marriage, still childless and miserable.

Fucking. hell. Sensei is a douche, both the girls are boneheads, and the resolution at the end was lukewarm at best. I'm glad I read this and felt the emotions I did, but god damn the girls deserved better.

This is badly written. So many shortcut was made to make this thing stand.
The fact that nobody is pointing out that a teacher, a adult and someone who choose to marry but still choose to date her own student like it was the most natural thing to do, is making me so angry. And Reading all the panels where she's talking to Ayu like she has the same age as her makes me want to punch her.
Fucking groomer shut up!

Me too!
I want to read that kind of cathartic story.

This was so weird. We saw so little of Sensei and Hitsuji’s “relationship” that I’d convinced myself it was a fake plan by them to make Ayu jealous or realise her feelings.

Yeah, that's what I expected, too. I thought sensei would try to be a wingman in some roundabout way. Ayu sucked the least but none of the characters were really good.

Both Ayu and Teacher were terrible, I feel like Hiitsuji(?) was at least normal and relatable.
Screw that teacher especially though, dating high school girls even?? I thought Ayu would be using that threat lol.

Honestly, there is nothing worse than when a character is clearly a total piece of shit, yet they try to justify it and make him out to be the good guy, and everyone gets lobotomized into thinking the same thing. I mean, the problem isn't what the character does, but rather that, one way or another, they end up shamelessly whitewashing him.

I'm glad the rest of the story got uploaded here. I remember being really invested after reading the 2nd chapter. I didn't end up loving it, but I didn't hate it.

I probably would've liked it more if the student/teacher stuff was actually some sort of ploy to make the MC jealous and the part where she sees the teacher kissing her fiancé was just some sort of unexpected, comedic road bump in the plan. Maybe have a chapter from the other girls' POV and reveal them bickering about whether what they're doing will work or if it's even morally okay.

The fact that there apparently were real feelings between the other two and their "relationship" starts so suddenly makes the whole thing feel rushed. I get the story is about "losing someone you love, if you can't be open and truthful with them.", so I get why one of the characters is a teacher who lost a girlfriend due to peer pressure. But, the story seemed more focused on the two younger girls figuring out their feelings and the "scumbag teacher" aspect just seemed like adding too much for only 4 chapters and an epilogue.

As for this manga, I thought it was pretty good. I mostly agree with the criticisms here; I don't mind that the teacher was portrayed as a complex individual but she did get pretty whitewashed by the end, and it would've been nice to get more time with the main couple instead of spending most of chapters 3-4 dealing with the teacher drama. I still enjoyed it overall though.

This was so rushed and badly written that I truly expected that the whole dating-the-teacher thing would be some elaborate plan to get with Ayu (and I see I was not alone in this). Why was no one questioning the teacher dating a student? The way comphet was handled was so shallow—again, why was the focus on the teacher cheating and not on the teacher dating a student in the first place! Like we needed any more confirmation that the teacher was a creep, let's have her see the appeal of yet another high schooler and joke(?) about seeing high schoolers as potential love rivals

After all my frustration and mild discomfort reading the story, this "joke" by the author made it all worse.

Also, Ayu really did cry too much, it was annoying.

Yeah it's crazy to have an afterword fully cement that, oh, the author just likes teenagers for real and assumes everyone is on the same page. Okay.
I've seen student x teacher serve interesting story grounds and this wasn't it. Even beyond the ick there was so much that was just glossed over about every aspect between the two characters, from their off-screen initiation to what their relationship was actually like to what they even thought about each other. The story couldn't decide whether it was just a tool to make our main characters see each other more or if it had the same weight as the main relationship itself. Frustrating read.
