Thanks for the Chapter! Gotta say rather interesting chapter.
While the whole nude drawing issue was settled well enough, I do feel they glazed over the whole Kanegafuchi pedophile plot point brought up.

 

[ntn9713c]

That was resolved very quickly, very nice.

 

[outinthegardener]

All the tension went out of the room like a silent fart.

Since Okuda is on the run I guess there is still time to see him get got!

 

[jonnywarlock]

Why does it feel like that was all too a little too pat?

I mean, I'm not really complaining, but for something so heavily set-up, its resolution was so swift it gave me whiplash. It's prolly not over (what with Scumbag Teach still tooling around), but one of the huge shadows looming over the series has effectively vanished and it felt like an afterthought. I mean, after all her gloom and doom talk (and her blowing her top this chapter), Maki is seemingly OK again?

Ah well. Let's see where we go from here, eh?

 

[jonnywarlock]

Okuda is on the run I guess there is still time to see him get got!

Wait till he suddenly pops back up and stabs somebody.

 

[Hamdan07a]

I'm disappointed by how they resolved situation very quickly.

 

[serialsly]

Phew, after last chapter I expected that story turns to "Okuda blackmailing Sakisaka" plot, but everything looks like ended with best possible scenario

 

[Sussudio]

This is the type of fast resolution that makes you think the author got push back somewhere and told to wrap this arc up asap.

I think so too, the author didn't even bother to explain how her mother knew about her daughter and the teacher.

 

[Castane]

Justice tastes great

 

[aveney41]

Yeah

I think so too, the author didn't even bother to explain how her mother knew about her daughter and the teacher.

Yeah, it was a bit confusing as to how they just kinda...knew? And like what @Sussudio said, the author probably got checked. Like "bro, this is way too much. Calm it down". I think it was the right decision.

 

[Karothat]

When I saw the update, I was like "what manga is this?"

Why'd they have to change the manga cover?

 

[SUPER7X]

Poorly executed. No stakes.

 

[Baelgun]

Damn teachers trying to help the student instead of trying to bury the whole affair as to no sully the reputation of the school ? It's my first time seeing it.

 

[yellanha]

saki is such a bitch she tried to frame the teacher and machida for something fake to save her own skin then mc gets mad at the other teacher and not her??? and at the end they treat her nicely and act like she didnt just do that what the fuck

 

[ipmanvsthemask]

How the hell did this get sweep over so quickly? Regardless of what Machida and the teacher was doing, they still have Maki and her involvement with a teacher. This is actually so bad. And Machida just threatening violence on the older teacher too

 

[Darklight99]

Bull fucking shit could all these problems get swept under the rug this easily.

 

[Alacran]

Yeah I'm under the same opinion the mangaka got told to drop this storyline because it just reeked. The end point obv would have been the same but like drawing it out as any sort of equivalence where yeah a teacher is doing nude drawing on the sly as literal underage prostitution is insane and fucked a lot of the vibes the series had.

 

[Soneca]

Thank you very much for the chapter. This was a surprisingly wholesmoe resolution, gave me quite the good laughs.
I feel the same as the rest here, apparently, regarding the resolution of the matter.

Though, we will only truly know after a chapter or two after this, I'll wait and see before making any deep analysis. One thing that scares me with this though is if the resolution was quick like this because of the manga being threatened by the axe, I really hope it's not the case.

But now the space is set up for a myriad of possible developments to explore many themes present in the arts, so I wonder if the author will start exploring a bit more the other characters, this can be very fun.
