This is so peak. I love the concept, age game, demons, and reincarnation, and the teasing with underlying hidden angst but lots of fun good romance. Progression seems pretty good per chapter too.

White woman? I definitely don't think white women and Asian women have the same equivalence. Especially in Japan. Also this was indeed a fun chapter to read comments for
me seeing the email notification: Woooo Takemiya Jin, where have you been!
me after the afterward: :'( Well, that explains why one of my favorite authors has been inactive for years.... I hope things get better for her
due to a neurologically dubious prion disease the parts of my brain devoted to remembering seemingly self-evident concepts like "high school teachers actually shouldn't spank their students" and "countries have vague societal problems" are continuously being transformed into useless tangles of tau protein. thankfully i and the other hopefully-unaffected gals that think teachers are pretty can rely on every mildly spicy manga we click to remind us at length somewhere in the comments
Probably as a kid I’d have a lot more straightforward upset anger at the direction of the story. But as an adult I think it’s pretty mature way to handle things. They’re adults in a comedy type manga. The casual interaction of them blowing up getting upset and now dealing with the fall out is pretty adult like. Not everything is a major event in adulthood. She got upset, made a friend, friend realized she isn’t compatible and is able to compartmentalize he’s better as a friend than a partner especially their long history of knowing each other. She’s doesn’t feel bad and carries on with life and brother and Mc had an awkward smoothing out interaction cause mc wanted to get along with crush. All very understandable adult aspects. It’s better they have maturity to move on and not treat it like a drama drilled through story
She’s gonna be like
- keep your schedule open
- why?
- we’re going apartment hunting and start living together
- thinks: ahhh she’s taking another one of my firsts shakes fist in the air like she’s upset
Team Maria winnssssssssss. I’m hoping it goes all angsty where teacher expresses how she feels she’s older and has to be a teacher and more mature and feels like she’ll loose to the others and then be all drunk mess cute and then Mei goes offensive to reassure her.
