This chapter is really interesting.
First off let's start with the teacher
I'll admit it, I'm not too fond of her, she's creepy and gives me psycho vibes.
At least she's trying to help him out in some way, I'll give her that.
But then... she comes with the "don't date anyone else"
One thing is using him to fullfill your fantasies and Reiji doesn't really mind it. Another thing is monopolizing him. She wants him to feel better right? What if he founds love with other girl and that might be what saves him? She's taking away that opportunity from him, so more than helping him, she's serving her own selfish desires, as if "if you don't do what I tell you, you won't have my help".
I really don't get ppl who like her. A teacherXstudent relationship to me would be acceptable if there was actually real love there. In this case it's more about sex and lust desire. Can't see it in a good light taking into account he's still a minor and not mentally ok. She's basically the one who can provides him an escape route and at the same time she's trapping him with her in the meantime.
I just can't shake the feeling that if ever Reiji has something with someone else and she finds out, she'll lose it. She goes insane and do a bad thing. Let's hope not.
Now Chako's and Reiji's convo:
I'm really glad Chako is there for the protagonist, she's the friend he needs. Just hope all that blushing doesn't mean anything else. Having Chako attracted to Reiji too would be really weird now.
Chako notices Reiji's potential to get a girlfriend as Nagi lookwise. For his reaction we can see how much this girl still affects him, even after he decided not to go through with her proposal.
(Funny he indeed get it on not with a girl like Nagi, but herself LOL)
Can't wait for Chako's reaction on getting to know the whole truth about Nagi.
Chako's situation:
Chako seen her opporttunity to get away from that town and to fullfill her dream become more distant, this is affecting her. But when she gets to read Esemory's comments on her review her dream came true, she got the recognition of her favorite author. This is a dangerous ground, it warmed her heart and it looks she'll become more attached to this guy, therefore losing all her reason. It'll be one more thing to retain her in the town.
