This and My Ignorance of a World Yet Unknown back to back is numbing. They go on these long hiatuses then come back with these "zinger" chapters that just change everything instantaneously after we've lost all that momentum from the hiatus. I honestly don't know how to feel. My Ignorance makes me want to feel sad or upset, and this feels melancholic but happy, yet I'm just kinda eh about both. Like, why should I care? I lost all that emotional attachment. Maybe I should just reread, but the chapters don't feel satisfying. My Ignorance just makes me angry 'cause it's a Hans-level plot-hole, and this is just synthetic tension that leads nowhere. What's next, is Prism suddenly gonna come lurching from the abyss? (I know that was cancelled, but you know what I'm saying)

The timeskip was a bit sudden, but I liked that the parents actually did something to get the girl out of the abusive household. Even if it might be seen as a bit extreme.

lmao is this really it? 14 chapter of build up just to completely drop it by solving all the problems off screen and a time skip 10 years into the future? come on

This story had so much potential and deserved better than a rushed end

What a nice, calming ending. I would’ve liked it to be longer so we could see more of them as a couple, but this is satisfying too. Yeah it was rushed and solved the problem it laid out for 14 chapters in a few pages; however, it doesn’t feel like anything’s missing. This is one of my favorite student x teacher manga

Looks like the mangaka got maybe one or two chapters of warning that her series was getting the axe. All in all not too bad an ending for such a massive rush job. I like that the teacher went the mature route and reported the abuse rather than shacking up with a middle schooler.

What just happened? I feel like I just took the up-town express when I meant to grab the cross-town local. Not confused, but it sure left my head spinning.

It seems like a cop out to me when in age gap, the girl just disappears and suddenly grows up in a couple of pages so you can hook them up at the end all nice and easy.

But I did like the story over all.

If only the mangaka had given some sort of indication as to how much time had passed, I could have possibly liked the end of this.

How big was the time jump? Big enough to cover any plot holes.

There should be a timer/clock given in a series to let readers know that readership is lacking and the publishers are pulling the plug (ending the series whether mangaka is ready or not).

Rushed way too quickly to ending

Chapter 15 just did not follow logically or tonally from Chapter 14.

"After what happened, Madarame-san's parents learned [by some unstated method] about the situation with her cousin," at which point it somehow dawned on them that it might not have been exactly the optimal parenting strategy to go abroad for months and leave a 13-year-old girl alone in the house except for having an older teenage rapist look in on her every now and then.

(I do keep forgetting that this series is co-authored, and that wherever the writing problems come from (the editors cutting it off, or the rookie writer, etc.) Momono Moto isn't doing all the heavy lifting here.)

Sensei sure can create an identifiable tone and moody atmosphere and can put characters together in situations where sparks fly, but I think Ena from Yuunagi Marbled needs to be in every one of her stories so when the angst-o-meter reaches a certain level, as it inevitably will, she can come in and get people to act like human beings rather than erratic bundles of raw nerves and chaotic emotions.

Something would be lost, to be sure, but much gained as well.
