Hina has decided to move out of the family home and despite that, she and Natsuo suddenly attempt their romantic in secret. Meanwhile, Kiriya-sensei is under accusation of being lewd with a student and his accuser makes a surprise visit and we learn about their past. As for Natsuo and Hina, another crazy hurdle comes when they’re caught in the act by Rui. Luckily, there’s a funny mini story to leave on. B+ (83%/Very Good)

Lo and behold, taking a blank canvas as a main character, who can't see no to any girl who tries to seduce him doesn't make a great story. What? Really, what do all these girls see in Natsuo? He's doing the bare minimum and not even that. He lies, he weasels. He's just a 17 year old scumbag at this point.
And especially why does Hina sensei take the risk? What does she see in him? Well she seems to fall for dirtbags in general, so I guess he fits right in there...ugh
I'm hoping the series picks up again, but it sure needs to get better than this wet dream of a teenage boy...all substance has been lost by this point. And within this many chapters you can put a lot of substance.

This series is a train wreck. But in a good way.

Basically the theory that Sasuga seems to be operating under is that if a melodramatic telenova-esque twist is possible, it should probably happen. Fortunately for the series, she handles them relatively well, and the protagonist is one of the most likable for the genre that I've ever encountered. Given that I inhaled four volumes in roughly 24 hours - it would have been faster if not for that pesky "work" thing - it goes without saying that for all of its melodrama and (low key) insanity, this is the kind of "bad" that you can't put down.

This story is still over the top but this volume felt a little more grounded. We also get some honest looks into some of the characters. Things are moving quickly. Some transitions felt rushed but overall this was the best volume so far. Rui and Ashihara are still the best and seeing them being dicked around is tough.

Why’s everyone on here hate this series and keep calling it a train wreck 😂? I think it’s great, main characters kinda a bad person but not really he’s just in love with his teacher, I think it’s a really entertaining.

The 1st half of this volume is a bit slow with a mystery plot I didn’t care too much about, but it picks up in the 2nd half. Not my favorite volume I’ve read in this series so far, but still enjoyed it overall.

Es normal que me guste el protagonista pero que tengo un poco de conflictos con su interes amoroso.
me cae bien Rui pero Hina no se, siento que es un poco egoista y no me terminar de gustar.

espero continuar pronto con el siguiente tomo.

Mi piace veramente tanto la storia, così come i disegni. Io però sono Team Rui e voglio assolutamente che Hina si tolga di mezzo 🙄

Que momentos, fue muy genial este tomo... Esperaba ese golpe hacia Natsuo

[Dumb popcorn's manga · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is so messy... and the whole subplot about the literature club teacher... yikes. Then again, I'm here for the messiness so...

[JayLando22 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, you know, just feeling bad for Rui who does not deserve any of it.

There is a lot of fun and silly stuff in the second half but this one really goes hard on the melodrama. I mean, that is the series but, y'know.

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the only manga that i'm sure i'll finish all the volumes in a day. I'm that addicted to finding out the ending.

Happy that the brother is talking with Rui about his love for his other sister. Not so much into the sister / teacher thing but glad that it seems like they got it down to the main character only being in love in a romantic way with 1 of his sisters and not both though both seem to still want him. The best option i see is for him to go with Rui.
