Als Mokas Vater seinen Job verliert, steht ihre Familie plötzlich ohne Dach über dem Kopf da. Doch zum Glück kann Mokas Klassenlehrer Herr Onimiya, Spross einer reichen Unternehmerdynastie, Abhilfe schaffen und der Familie eine günstige Wohnung überlassen. Wider Erwarten kommt Moka selbst allerdings in Herrn Onimiyas Apartment unter, denn ihre Eltern hoffen, dass die beiden Zuneigung zueinander entwickeln und heiraten werden. Doch leider entpuppt sich der bisher so nette Lehrer als teuflischer Dämon, der Moka nur noch schikaniert ...
Here I am labouring my way through Kayoru's works, hoping that I'll find one or two I actually like. The reason why I even bother, besides the fact that I like the art, is that I already own all her works - so yes, please let it not be entire waste and let some of them be good. Sadly, Onimiya-sensei no Kiss ni wa Sakaeranai is not going to be the one for I actually find it offensively bad. The only reason why I'm not giving it an even lower rating is for the art's sake.
I like high school shoujo works and I generally don't mind the clichés, that kind of comes with the territory. I also don't mind age gap stories and, when handled right, I'm ok with student-teacher type romances. This one was just horrendous though - the teacher's behaviour is appalling from any stand point, him being older and her teacher only makes it all the more worse. Neither of our main characters have an ounce of personality besides being a weak willed girl and an overbearing guy. As such, I can't even relate to how they like each other.
Apart from the entirely inappropriate relationship, everything that leads up to it is entirely unrealistic. I know, it's common in manga and sometimes you just have to roll with it but goodness gracious was this bad storytelling. The main girl's family is poor which is used as a jumping board to get the teacher - who is conveniently super rich - involved. Due to not being able to pay the rent, the family gets kicked out of their home and the teacher happens to come strolling by. He promptly offers a new apartment and a new job to them to which the family's natural reaction is to throw their daughter at him. They urge her to move in with him and he agrees. I see no sense in him agreeing to this unless it's some sort of predator behaviour [which the book is not trying to imply] and what shitty kind of parents would do that to their 15 year old daughter? There also seem to be a few siblings and I have no idea why they were included because we didn't see them or the parents anymore after she moves in with her teacher.
Be it morally or legally, there is so much wrong with this plot. It somehow also managed to worsen rather than improve as the story went on. At some point we've got a love potion scenario - apart from the fact that I don't really like any love potion plots as I find them quite cheap and lazy plot devices, I absolutely loathe the inclusion of something like that in a contemporary plot that is otherwise fantasy-free [regardless of how unrealistic and ridiculous the plot is]. But because all that is not enough, the author chucks in an abduction with gunfights and helicopters - all without the police being involved, naturally. Needless to say, I don't recommend this series.
Der Klappentext hatte mich neugierig gemacht. Der Zeichenstil hat mir wirklich gut gefallen, die Geschichte ist ganz ok (deshalb 2 Sterne). Aber mir ist einiges sauer aufgestoßen:
1. das Alter. Er ist ca 24, sie gerade einmal 15 (im letzten Band findet dies Erwähnung wegen ihrem Geburtstag). Also, ich empfinde diesen Altersunterschied bzw dass sie gerade erst den Kinderschuhen entwachsen ist, echt schwer zu verdauen.
2. Zum Alter kommt noch sein Verhalten hinzu. Im Klappentext steht, er "raubt" ihren ersten Kuss. Das ist noch romantisch verklärt formuliert. Der Ausdruck "Obersadist" trifft es gut. Die Beziehung fußt praktisch auf den Ansatz einer SM-Schiene - nur dass SIE völlig naiv und unbedarft, noch dazu in ihn verliebt ist und ER das gnadenlos ausnutzt.
Mir ging es beim Lesen ein wenig wie der jungen Protagonistin: Er scheint unter der Oberfläche ja doch irgendwie ein netter Kerl zu sein. Deshalb hab ich mir die anderen Teile ebenfalls zu Gemüte geführt. Weil ich neugierig war, ob das Ganze überhaupt noch ein gutes Ende nehmen kann.
Grundsätzlich glaube ich, wer Gefallen an Lehrer/Schülerin-Stories findet, mag den Manga vielleicht. Ach ja, der erotische Anteil ist in dieser Reihe fast ausschließlich aufs Küssen beschränkt! 🙂
