Irrelevant. Like I said, she doesn't wear a mask in the manga. This is just art that must have been inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pretty sure masks were commonly worn in Japan before Covid, and continue to be worn after Covid. You can actually see quite a lot of manga or anime characters that incorporate it into their design; as for Honjou, I associated it with her due to the cover, and as I said, it does fit her personality to wear one, to hide her face, not unlike how she wears a baggy hoodie to hide her body. If I've reached this conclusion about her personality, it is within reason that Shirasawa could too.

If the author had done this I wouldn't be complaining in the first place, but she didn't. I don't see the point of this hypothetical.
It's a meaningless hypothetical, because the issue you're focusing on is meaningless. Shirasawa could've come up with any number of explanations in his head as to why she's wearing a mask - if the mangaka did consider it an impertinent matter for the audience, she could've easily written it away with a simple, single panel conversation like that. If it can be explained away in such a simple way, it's hyperbolic to suggest it's some big plot hole in the interaction here.

Ive seen hentai that is more believable than this "I ate something, cant talk" crap man.


Im not saying the work used to be high art but its taken quite the plunge lately.
We’re pretending that silly writing decisions are shocking in the manga where a bean pole high school kid gets the hot teacher and big breasted quiet girl in school to shoot porn for him through pure luck? Really?

Masks are used in Japan because of pollen allergies or when one is sick, but again that art is irrelevant. You can make whatever deductions and associations you want about her personality and behavior, but that doesn't change the fact that she only wore a mask once and quickly removed it despite being sick. It's out of character for her to wear a mask and Shirasawa should have noticed.

Firstly, for me it is not meaningless, it is out of character for her to wear a mask and it breaks my suspension of disbelief that Shirasawa did not ask why she is wearing the mask or why she does not take it off. Second, I bet the author didn't think about these details, after all in the previous chapter she made Touka access Kaho's line with just the username and password, which is ridiculous. Third, I didn't write that it's a plot hole that he didn't ask about the mask, I wrote that it's a plot convenience (aka bad writing).

It's not luck, though? He's the son of a famous director and exposed the affair of two teachers in the school festival by hijacking the project he was supposed to film for. Honjou is clearly some sort of sexually repressed and sought HIM out, then reacted to his discovery of her masturbaccion by asking him to film a porno. The hot teacher came looking for him because he was acknowledged by a director that she was humiliated by, and was seeking some sort of closure to the director telling her she was a bad actress.

Behind the material is a pretty interesting drama about creativity, approval, and boundaries. But after the rape just went... straight unacknowledged and these two chapters being baffling h-manga plots, it feels like it's lost its way. You're not supposed to do that. Don't lose your way.

I have no idea what the fuck is happening with the sister... Doesn't feel like she's doing it on purpose though, so maybe she's just dumb as fuck?
And no matter how got she is, it won't save her.
Thanks for the chapter!

Lol, she likes schmaltzy romances. Double lol at her not being ready for Shirasawa's standing camera. I feel a bit bad for him if he ends up doing anything with Touka under false pretenses though.

It's disgusting what the translator said at the end of the chapter.
According to him, as this is all fiction, there is no problem with what Ekoda did, especially because she is hot. The people who do the Animewaves translation are the same, they classified the rape chapter as "banger of a chapter". It seems that this type of manga attracts the same type of translators.

I would laugh my ass off if the MC knew the whole time and tells her at the end - that would make for a much more entertaining twist. Like " so Touka, why are you here again?" I doubt he'd be so creative though.

I'm so confused the whole chapter. 😅
Did she thought he is her little sis' boyfriend and she wanted to do a harmless trial run of how it feels to have home date? 🙄
I feel like this is the most reasonable assumption based on how dumb/oblivious she seems to be

don't like it, don't read it. easy

no idea why you cry over a FICTIONAL "rapist" teacher, keep saying author runs out of ideas, and yet you, and others that thinks the same as you, are still here reading this awful manga with a "rapist" teacher
