[blablablub]

Sorry, choosing what? His girlfriend, or his girlfriend?

 

[ciera]

Thank you for the scanlation

 

[Galder]

this arc is getting really tedious. one of the few cases where i hate when manga adapt novels too faithfully lol

 

[DementisXYZ]

I swear this teacher has been the worst addition to this series. It was really fun and sweet until she arrived. Ever since, it's been a really tedious and annoying plot full of unnecessary chores.

 

[kuchiki9988]

I really thought we were done with the club drama and it was just gonna be some background shananigans to populate the school, this supposed deep conversation had very little essence. To sum up the chapter: "that's such a shamelessly blatant way of dumping it all on us..."

 

[razorshaleh]

Mitsumi-san seems to have misunderstood and thinks MC is going to do something lewd with Hikari and Chikage. Or maybe she’s actually hoping MC will do something lewd to Hikari and Chikage

thank you for translation

 

[Lex79]

Yeah, she definitely figured out.
The newspaper club subplot is annoying, I hope it won't end up with Sakuto joining as a permanent member.

 

[GreenDude1]

The teacher is just so annoying. The author's trying to write a cool collected manipulative character without understanding how to make that character enjoyable to read.

 

[LuckyNChance]

It seems we have already forgotten that we were about to get framed and blackmailed. Sigh.

That. But it's also hanakotoba. Hydrangeas flower in different colours depending on the soil acidity. Different colours have different meanings.

Blue:
「知的」- Full of knowledge
「神秘的」- Intimate
「辛抱強い愛」- Very patient enduring love

Pink:
「元気な女性」- Healthy and lively woman
「強い愛情」- Strong feelings of love

Caaaalled iiiiiit. Teacher is using this opportunity to cultivate three (plus) students via one problem. Get the MC to stop playing it safe and start actually applying himself, give Chikage the opportunity to become more assertive and learn how to handle conflict, and provide Hikari a place where she can have a sense of belonging that's all her own. All while helping the Newspaper Club shape itself up.

 

[Septazia]

Thanks for the translation ...guess I'll wait some more chaps before resuming reading it

 

[Kaito57]

Ugh... not only are we stuck with the newspaper club but that teacher is outrageously useless...

It feels like a Batman gambit in a somewhat silly romantic comedy. I think that's why a lot of people are annoyed...it's not the right tone for this story. It's the sort of thing you'd expect in one of those "super elite high school where it's run like a country" stories.

 

[MangaMangoPH]

Ok so the guy almost got blackmailed and now his teacher is forcing him to help the people that were about to blackmail him😑. The early chapters were way better.

It is a bit obtuse, but the teacher ultimately means well. She's trying to help the twins and the MC deal with the problems that are holding them back, but in a hands-off way that allows the kids to grow as individuals without relying on her guidance. This chapter shows she really values her students having the chance to feel safe and just breathe, minding their emotional health and development rather than strictly their academics. So she's going for this indirect method of helping her students grow, because if she just leads them along the path... well; "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

She's not forcing him to do anything. Yes, she is nudging him in that direction, but ultimately all she's doing is laying out why his continued involvement is in the best interest of all involved and then letting the MC come to his own conclusion. Most of all she's trying to get him to actually apply himself to something; she's well aware he's a lot more capable than he appears, but he actively aims for mediocrity to avoid standing out. Which is good for living an inoffensive life, but in the long run is not going to do him any favors. So she pushes him out of his comfort zone, putting him in a situation where he has to actually use that brain of his and show what he can do.

Okay? But that has nothing to do with my point, which was that you have this teacher basically doing a 5-D chess move to perfectly manipulate a situation to solve every issue at once. But it's a story about some kids in high school that isn't otherwise anything like that. So it's just a weird vibe.

It's like this story can't figure out what it is. Is it a cute romantic comedy? Is it a story about a bunch of bureaucratic high school drama? Is about the world's most perceptive teacher who can skillfully craft the perfect solution to any problem? All of those have totally different feels, but they're just mixed in together here.

Yeah it's focusing too much on the newspaper club which I don't really care about I only get really care about the MC and two girls. I also don't get keeping the newspaper club around after the crazy stuff that would normally get you expelled
