I'm still rooting for Maria-sensei despite this being tagged as harem.

Oh yeah, absolutely Team Maria! I know this is a harem manga, but after all this build up with her I can't accept any other outcome.

Oh Tamamusi you absolute troll.

I just hope Mei talks to Maria about this rather than just making a decision on her own regardless of what the decision ends up being.

Minato's my least favorite so i'll be checking out until the next girl lol

Mei-chan is good... :D

I guess we can expect three more confessions soon.

Somehow I knew it was going to be this.

I just came to redeclare my support for maria sensei, she's truly the end goal, c'mon tamamusi, please make their commitment bear fruit.

100%! maria-sensei has GOTTA be endgame. if she isn't i'll riot tbh. that whole relationship is insanely romantic already and it's only gonna ripen with time >:D

minato is also really sweet and i hope she winds up with a happy ending too

Yeah, it definitely seems to me like the endgame is being set up for Mei picking Maria Sensei. It seems to me like she's going to go through another round with the other girls, but keep coming back to pining after Maria in the end and realize that she's the one that she loves.

Also, as an aside, I noticed upon rereading the issue that we got yet another flashback panel of that night Mei spent with Maria Sensei there at the end where Maria was visibly naked under the bedsheets and presumably looking at Mei in bed with her. I'd thought initially that Maria was wearing a shirt, but it looks like the line I mistook for a collar is more likely to be her collarbone.

Sooo yeah. They boned.

Stil don't think they had sex.

Also I don't agree that the endgame is Maria yet. The very fact that Mei is considering the other girls tells us that Mei doesn't love her most of all at this point. Right now she's in this weird position where each girl is now seriously confessing to her. I can see her thinking about both Minato and Maria when the next girl confesses to her.

Okay, I'm curious and I genuinely do not mean this in a negative way: What do you personally think Mei and Maria were doing together all night long? We've had two flashbacks already of Maria naked in bed with Mei and one of them had them making out with one another while being naked in bed together. That's not speculation, that's stuff that Tamamusi has put into the manga.

The easiest guess is that they went the full nine yards and had sex. Even if they didn't, it's at least clear that they already crossed far too many lines that night as far as Maria's personal worries for Teacher-Student conduct are concerned and that even if they didn't actually have sex, they were at least sexually intimate with one another.

Whether Mei ends up with Maria or not in the end, IDK for sure. I personally tend to read it right now with the assumption that they will, but I'm not ruling out other possibilities.

Just another comment about our singular panel of Maria Sensei~~

minato-senpai gained a new fan today

...And that's why Sensei is garbage.

Seriously, I do not know how you people look at a teacher stringing along their student like this and think there is anything remotely attractive about that. This woman is the worst.

my ranking at this point is probably like... maria-sensei >>> minato = kaoru >> karin >>> riri. riri's main thing is that she's pure-hearted and has huge boobs, but there's not much else to her (imo). karin is interesting as a character/person, but as a love interest she's kinda out. minato is silly and sweet and absolutely a catch, and i like how genuinely smart and hardworking kaoru is (sexy!). so honestly if it went for either of them i wouldn't mind at all (but minato feels very unlikely to be endgame imo. kaoru remains to be seen).

maria is just sexy as hell. like specifically the gap between her outward persona and her actually being a total dork bottom who's hopelessly down bad. the "i love you so much but i can only watch from afar (please see me)" thing is itself a fav yuri trope of mine. re: whether they fucked or not, they totally did. maria was CLEARLY topless under the blanket in multiple shots and what little we saw was already steamy. this just isn't a porn manga so tamamusi didn't show it explicitly, but the framing is clear lol

Since you do specifically ask about other readers' reactions, for me characters in harem comedies (het, yuri or otherwise) have almost nothing to do with "teachers" and "students" (or any other social role) in real life--they're more like counters in a fairly ritualized game.

To me, Sensei has about as much to do with student-teacher ethics as Col. Mustard has to do with the likelihood of retired military officers murdering absent-minded professors in the library with a lead pipe.

My bet is Mei ends up with Maria-sensei, while Karin/Riri and Kaoru/Minato wind up hooking up in the end. It just feels like Maria has gotten the best development with Mei over time and Tamamusi has kinda started to tease the other girls with each other too.

Yeah, exactly! Way too many signs imo that Mei and Maria banged offscreen that night.

this is a good point and i could definitely see it. the kaoru-minato dynamic in particular has nice potential, tbh. agreed on the development with maria as well; from the beginning i assumed she'd either be endgame or impossible (no in between), and it's looking more like the former as time goes on

IMO it’s always come down to either Maria, Riri or Chiharu as the most likely candidates to win the proverbial MeiBowl. Minato and Kaoru were both really underdeveloped until recently and they’re both being framed as being unlikely to end up with Mei and we all know how things with Karin turned out.

And as the series has gone on, Riri has been really underdeveloped as a romantic interest and we’ve only gotten to see Chiharu with Mei in the present day twice now. Plus the aforementioned recent teases of the other girls all potentially pairing with each other later too. Meanwhile Maria has gotten the most frequent and positive development with Mei.

Saaame. That's why I was always on the Maria train. Go big or go home!
