Yay, another great doujin for these two! I love their canon dynamic so much and I'm glad both of these captured it perfectly (albeit at very different stages).

Sooo cute. Though I fear chapter 6 is still out of order

ETA: Fixed now, thank you!

Lol, loved it. That loving challenge describes their whole dynamic.

Snatching happy(ish) ending from the jaws of nihilistic defeat. Loved the gang boss's character design too.

I took it as her feeling guilty and even a little scared over saying that, and that it'd come back to haunt her in some way so in an act of penance she threw away the nail stuff. But it also made her resentful and now seeing the teacher dressed up, it all feels even more pointless and stupid, which makes her just more sulky and resentful.

The kiss through the mask is one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen in manga

I was literally thinking that.

Really liked this. Aside from the mask plot, I just like when characters are characterized as multi-layered people.

Gosh, the art is gorgeous and I'm loving the main character's design.

That was so cute! Rare to see in manga a dynamic like this in high school and move smoothly into college (and after?). Usually managing to get together by high school is the big win (or else there's a timeskip into their adult life).

Oh, this is so romantic.

Lol, just a few pages in and I've laughed out loud multiple times. What a couple of morons <3

Suzu is genuinely adorable.

That was great. Showed all the canon similarities and contrasts that drew them so immediately and deeply to each other and kept them together.

Love the teacher being savvy to it all but still being so charmed.

Momoka going from "I guess??" to "I'm gonna do this right"

Lol, I thought this was so fun and interesting, and then I see the comments. It's refreshing to see characters that aren't the usual archetypes. Both were genuinely more interested by the other than they cared to admit and the ending looked like the start of a fun new dynamic.

Really loving Coach x Nurse too! For all the reasons everyone said. It has felt like over the years the writing and characters have matured, in a sense, but the girls are still very much high school girls. Feels refreshing to have actual mature characters, with the shyness and flirting of their blooming romance, sure, but... they're adults. Kind of a settled matter of factness to them too.

From what I hear, Korea is straight-up in a gender war?

You can learn more about it here https://x.com/vryjkof/status/1789382955560837538
I am sorry for bringing such sad reality as topic here, but the ignorance bothered me as I have close friends living with such realities from Asian countries.

I do love the trend and the artists participating!

No, thank you for speaking up. There really is a crisis going on because of misogyny and highlighting that doesn't negate the other forms of bigotry that also exist. One might also point out that a lot of intra-gender bullying also comes from misogyny, women not performing femininity the right way, men bullying men for being too feminine, etc.

Sweet story but yeah this is one of those stories where the gender, age and physical appearance of the characters changes things. It's also the energy, mutual attraction of the characters, and how they come across to each other, under any other context this would have been so creepy lol.

Well, that’s the point of context—it doesn’t mean much to say that if the story were different, it would be different. The events and actions don’t exist in isolation where they can be judged “objectively.”

There’s a whole series of jokes/memes that consist of brutally simplistic paraphrases of famous works:

  • Two teenagers disobey their parents and then kill themselves. (Romeo & Juliet)

  • A poor girl agrees to marry a rich man after he goes blind. (Jane Eyre)

  • A kid goes into outer space and finds his long-lost dad, who cuts off his arm. (Star Wars)

Well, yes to all. But there’s more to it than that . . .

Right, there are tons of little cues that play a part too. There WAS mutual interest, she wasn't weird or invasive about it, and so on.

The setup might have been fairly generic but I thought the execution was sweet and funny.

Oh, this is fun! Thanks for the translator's note on "babe", that really is a dilemma...
