Kusanagi-sensei Is Being Tested - Vol. 2 Ch. 167 - Disappointment

Quick, someone invite sensei over for the birthday supper

 

[Lilliwyt]

I mean, you're only 13 and she is already 36. Of course she won't see you as woman yet.

 

[Blazecam]

I keep trying my hardest to ignore the age gap between the characters so I’m going to need this 13th birthday arc to end.

 

[CrimsonWarden]

Age gap aside and all. The story gives me similar vibes to Hirunaka no Ryosei (Daytime Shooting Star). This relationship might just be the one that helps you grow and not the goal for your life.

 

[wooklee]

I know we've already iterated this millions of times, but...
"This would be 9000% more digestible, if she was in FIRST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL."
But its down to the culture of Japan, in that,
your allowed to start working, in a more official way, after middle school and might be considered more of an adult...

 

[JaHommaPelaa]

Too late for hamburgers now.
@Blazecam @wooklee
Then stop and once you see END at the chapter title, read that.

1 chap = 1 page ?

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

I like the hamburger moment. Deflates the angst a bit. Incidentally--girl, she sees you as a sex object just like you want. What you're expecting is for her to admit it, and that ain't gonna happen easy.

 

[JulesMFinWinnfield]

are hamburgers (or hamburger steak) generally considered depression food in japan? interesting choice if so

 

[SquigglesJP]

@Faust9 -sends out the invitation through FedEx- !!!

 

[impendio]

She's such a kid still and it exactly shows why, being an adult is not about a number, it's about responsibilities, and even if it was about a number, that number is not fucking 13 lmao.
The traditional coming of age ceremony in Japan is 20, what were you even expecting??

At this point I don't want her to end up with the teacher at all, Kurosawa would make a better fit and maybe they would both grow up a little on their own terms, at their own pace...

 

[Zen_Clark]

The age gap is kind of the whole point. Without the gap and student/teacher relationship, she would not be "tested". The author would have to call it "Kusanagi-sensei Has a Girlfriend."

 

[monoreposo]

To be fair, I think she is legal in some parts of japan.
That said, I can't wait for next chapter. Could be 1 of 2 things. Sensei being there to celebrate with her, or her getting the dinner she asked for in the previous chapter. Or maybe both!
"What is that, you want me to treat you like an adult when your being so picky with your food?"

Spoiler

Sensei tries to force herself to eat a bite in order to look good in front of her student. It is very cute

 

[OtokoNoKozou]

@SquigglesJP It was sort of mentioned already obliquely, but ハンバーグ was translated as "hamburger" rather than "Hamburg steak." Not a critical error by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought I should point it out all the same.

 

[SquigglesJP]

@OtokoNoKozou Thanks for pointing that out!

 

[Kurro]

All the complaining about the age gap, IT'S A WORK OF FICTION. As in it's not real. And if it wasn't then I would be, Hello mr. police officer!

Sure the age of consent law in japan is insane, but what do you expect from a law that's more the a hundred years old. Also in case you're wondering about why it's 13 and how it is in practice https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/japan

I think they will change it eventually, but Japan is kind slow in catching up with current social issues.

 

[kyonichisama]

at least sensei lower her number by much

thats already a win for kazuki to just wait for another 5 years instead of 12 years 😂

@Kurro

All the complaining about the age gap, IT'S A WORK OF FICTION

True that. I'm here to enjoy the story/comedy/romance~

 

[sagat101]

You all talkin' about age legality , i'm here complaining why its soooooo hard to buy Hamburgers in my place while others can easily buy it and eat it like snacks every single hour T_T ______Hard life here
