The mature tag is weird. When I hear mature woman, I think about a woman in her fhities, not forties.

Anyway, strong start! I'll follow along.

A bit late to notice, but I really wonder how someone sober could do it with someone dead drunk. Not talking about consentement here, but just, someone dead drunk reeks of alcool. That would be an instant turn off for me.

Just noticed the "dubious consent" tag. Nothing dubious about that, pretty sure that was rape. The thought she has on page 32 is kind of fucked up, as she really doesn't mind taking advantage of drunk women and implies she's done it before. Kind of surprised how chill everyone else is about this.

Happens all the time in manga. Rape and grooming is completely normalized.

A bit too close to home as a grad student with professor family members, having heard many a story about inappropriate relationships with grad students. Can't help but imagine myself in the professors shoes and feel really skeeved out and that anxiety.
It's an unrealistic scenario, but that only makes the idea of being in that position more uncomfortable to me. Claiming that your grad student sexually assaulted you would not be easy.

I think what gets in the way of my enjoyment of ones written like this might be the passive position one of the characters is given. A contrasting example that I really like is Black & White, where both parties are jockeying. There's a lot of other things separating them ofc, but unless that aspect changes idk if I'll end up being able to enjoy this one.

Edit:
One thing I like is when pieces give some emotional significance to things like harassment or sexual assault. This doesn't have to be angsty, just any sort of story other than "wow this actually makes me fall in love with this person." That story was tired out by het romances a long time ago...

Is the first panel a Skyrim reference?

I started reading this and completely forgot it wasn't a oneshot until the end.
Certainly will be keeping an eye out for more of it.

Definitely was, I don't think there'd be any doubt if it was het. You can't consent if you're so plastered you can't even recognize the person you're with.

I mean, morally, all "dubious consent" is rape. The purpose of tags though are to indicate what type of story the work is; according to the tag description, the difference is:

What does NOT apply is when a character actually refuses, either physically and/or by emphatically saying "no", but they eventually engage in the act anyway due to further coercion in the scene. That is rape.

Since this does not happen, the chapter meets the site's definition for the Dubious consent tag. It does not meet the moral definition because, again, morally there is no difference between "dubious consent" and rape.

Anyway, overall this was a strong first chapter, the art's great and the writing is fluid and gives us a good sense of the characters' basic personalities. I think how good the manga ends up being will depend on how much complexity the author provides for what are currently pretty straightforward characters. I would especially like to see the prof's darker sides because if she just ends up as a basically good person who gets seduced by the evil grad student, that might be fun but unsatisfying. Looking forward to more!
