I didn't say it, whoever was being quoted said it. I just said MC wasn't grooming her.

Don't get me wrong, so many manga seem to have zero problem with grooming. So many adopted daughters marrying their caregiver that the whole industry may need to take a seat over there. But this isn't one of the cases, this is just the usual harem writing where every female within a 500 mile radius of the MC is instantly attracted to him because reasons.
To be fair, while Beryl may not look like much he really is an excellent swordsman, so it's not that surprising he's popular with all the ladies.

Aleucia is first girl, she will win, no doubt =03.

As much as I dislike the anime(which follows the LN more scrupulously ), I like both the anime and this manga's rendition of why Aleucia is so adamant on spreading Beryl's name, though the anime feels more structured.

They said she self groomed, not that he groomed her. Doesn't make the comment be not in poor taste, but it's not an accusation against the MC.
And I just said thats wrong, do you struggle with reading comprehension or what

You all say grooming but reverse the genders and youd all be spamming "it should have been me! not him!" you fuckers are factory coded to call out grooming quickly, cant it just be a crush first? hell i had a crush on my teacher and we were 15 years apart at the time, sadly i was 12 and didnt have the courage and she only saw my advances as another one of her students being respectful :(. I feel for alucia here, it stings when youre not treated seriously in such situations though in the bigger picture its most definitely for the best.

I love the subtlety of the movement in this chapter.

Look at page 15... how Aleucia mirrors Beryl's movements, but not just the pose, the placement of the hands on the sword, firm but relaxed, one hand holding with two fingers but with clear firmness and flexibility to adapt, the other just slightly on the pommel to support and change.

One foot, positioned with a slight curve, just enough to allow a quick change in stance but with clear dexterity to not stumble, the other one positioned on the ball of the feet but aligned with the side muscle of the torso to create stability and power and allow quick follow-up with the front foot.

I am not saying this is how, or entirely is, in real life... but the delicate attention to the details, and how the motion is drawn on the next page, shows how much Satou-sensei takes care to make each motion have... breath, to tell a story.

Loved too, how much care and respect Rodius shows to a colleague in the art, most stories would make the teacher of a "rival" school to be caustic or show downright enmity, but he clearly values the experience this brings to him and his apprentices.

Yeah that clearly one of the thing this manga does good, not just in this chapter overall the pose and though behind the movement is very appreciable.

Yeah really nothing show it is grooming, tho I will lose all respect I have for beryl and drop the manga if he respond favorably to the crush of someone so so much younger than him (I am talking about the present timeline)
The problem is I have somewhat of a hard time trusting a Japanese writer, even more in a harem one (mangaupdate tag) to deal with it appropriately, I hope it is dealt correctly but I just do not build hope for it
Heck beyond the author, authors have publisher and they can push a story to give what fan want, that does not mean "fanservice" automatically but also even if the author would not do that themselves a publisher could push them to include more romance in a story that was not made for that in the first place and we all know some people that would be the target to romance with barely adult girl and a middle age man so the audience is here for it, let's juts hope the story and author have the guts to not go that route

I Pray the mangaka steers the story outside of that direction cause i know the mangaka already changed the flow of the story compared to the LN so they can do that here aswell.

Same, in 2nd grade I already had a crush on my teacher lol Didn't know it was a crush at the time, I just thought she was super pretty and I gave her flowers. It wasn't grooming, it's just how kid brains work sometimes.

...havent we already been over this? I feel like this is the third time we got panties girl's flachback

In what world is what he did not active grooming
He basically asserted himself as her new father figure
In what world is this grooming?
He's a teacher. Teachers in most cultures are grown ups that deserve the same respect as father/mother figures.

Something I've been wondering, but why is the chapter numbering so different with this scanlator compared to LINE and the other one who's also working on this series?

Self grooming sound correct and funnier than making your self worthy for you crush
understandably many mangadex commenters have never tried this so I see how they would need to invent the concept of self grooming
