A SHOUJO MANGA THAT DEALS WITH A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL'S CRUSH ON HER TEACHER WITHOUT FETISHIZING IT???? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP
This short arc was so well done like
This is the redemption arc for cardinal shoujo manga sin of age-gap/student-teacher relationships
-in that it turns out not to be one!!! Bc the teacher never wanted her like that and was just a great guy who cared for his students!!! Never crossed any boundaries!!! It was perfect he was clearly a responsible adult trying to guide a troubled teenager and was not trying to be her peer!!! There is not one moment of him showing her he is reciprocating her feelings at all!!!
And here in these panels he definitely realized she had a crush on him but gently lets her down by talking about his girlfriend so she wouldn't need to get her heart broken by some kind of outright rejection I love him
This wasn't just about her crush on him either it was mainly about her low self esteem and issues with speaking to others weighing on her mental health
This is solid great writing for a teen series
Link to read if you're interested! It's about 4 different kids and it switches POVs every few chapters, so far 3/4 have gotten some chapters, and now we are waiting on the last member of the group to have his story told ✨️✨️✨️
