Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu. - Vol. 10 Ch. 49 - Sparkle-Sparkle

We as readers know exactly what Miina has been experiencing and her motivations etc. But Takayanagi does not have that extra information. He only got what he's seen and what Miina has told him.
Leaving a quote and walking away based on that limited information is quite negligent as a teacher. At the least he could have pointed her towards a school counsellor or something. Ignoring kids who've self harmed is how you can end up with dead kids in the real world.

I think you'd be right if this manga was about teaching, or for teachers.

In my opinion this manga is about philosophy and it's class, so it'd make sense if it only talked about using philosophy for answering teenager's problems and never about actual protocols used by real teachers.

But that's only if I'm correct. The title gives a hint, idk.

Thank you for the translation.

I feel bad for the boyfriend, that boob grab looked accidental. Not that it's bad to have boundaries or preferences, but communicating them is not optional, in love or anywhere else, really. But I guess we have to learn that too, often from experience.

I don’t think so. At first glance, she comes across as very lively and cheerful, and that’s often misinterpreted as her being easy. He probably thought that too, which is why he tried to kiss her right away.

She reminds me of a friend I used to have. The number of guys who came on to her and how often she had to explain, time and time again, that she just wanted to be friendly was unbelievable.

Holy crap, he actually said "micro-aggression" in the raw. That's all sorts of concerning.

This chapter is one of the more straightforward yet going to be one of the more misunderstood messages in this manga. It's the ongoing message that all these students are going through.

In a single page, the mangaka concisely summarizes what this manga has been about (though the next page is a very important followup)

Because yeah. These kids have a range of experiences and situations and emotions they are in. Some are going to appear more trivial than others to us. Some of their responses are going to be unreasonable to us. But their emotions and reactions are very real to them (okay they're not real real, but you get my point) and should not be so easily dismissed. There are going to be people who would say that she's overreacting, but it is a very normal reaction to being put in a sexual situation you are not prepared for. The key difference is how much she feels is sexual vs how much the "majority" culture does. Which ties into the ethics lesson in the beginning of the chapter.

Actually speaking of, it is kind of nice that her friends still do genuinely care about her and love her for who she is, even if they do think she's being kind of dumb.

Wow, thats well put. I didn't understand the lesson from the chapter today that well but your explanation helped a little!
