Sensei is not being oblivious, he`s just trying to avoid jail
Some readers really don't know what the phrase "
Ambiguously underaged" means...
Do you think a mangaka has less common sense than a catholic priest or politician? This whole time, you've been judging them by the art style and not by the setting. The likelihood that our TS protags are in highschool is much higher than them being any younger--and by Japanese law, you're able to become independent and/or married younger, especially with the approval of a living family member or guardian.
Please do the math... Before I point out that these characters are fictional and part of a setting only ambigiously placed in some modern Japan setting, throwing any reliable notions of consent laws out the window the moment you remember out protags are
fucking Succubi.
...Shit, I gave it away.
