Huh…. Is this just a really strange attempt at a bully redemption arc? I can’t think of any other reason this storyline would be in any way necessary or useful except to try and somehow excuse takamine… which it doesn’t anyway

Yes, of course, the man's happiness of seeing others eat, stemming from his lack of stomach

pfffthahahah, I'm sorry, I can't take this guy's face seriously. I think the premise for his heel turn is more or less okay, but it really needed several chapters to simmer over. Just winding up as the ultimate puppet-master to make one of his students continue eating is... a leap too far, though. I'm just guessing, but maybe the author had a better way of building it all up, but was unable to commit for various reasons.

Well, at any rate, looking forward to the happy ending.

I think i'd miss meat too much but unless it's homemade with store bought eggs or so, i'd think mayo would be too calorie heavy

Oof what a messed up teacher, feels like better to turn him in or publicly expose/'leak' it to social media or so rather than punch him. he should've just stuck to watching mukbangs i guess.

It was only 2 volumes total so maybe the author rushed through the conflict but i wouldn't have minded some more 'fluffy slice of life' elements like them spending time with each other on weekends and such lol

Disappointment is a polite way of describing this arc. It was shoehorned in, didn't make sense, and ultimately didn't change a single thing from a plot or character perspective. It leaves a bad taste that even the fluffiest ending won't be able to fix.

Really, the editor should have known this was a terrible idea and nixed it in the bud :pout:

Hmmm. I assume this was adapted from a novel? It's the only way I think the insertion of this twist would make sense.

Still, that was really surprising.

When your teacher is perverse but not in a sexual way! :huh: yeah, the "mystery" is sloppy but it really wasn't the point of this three chapter "arc". Our characters got closer and that's good enough for me.

Did they adapt the entire light novel? At first I thought the plot was poorly executed but now I think the story is just silly

In just one chapter we got:

"Evil villain confession"

"Evil master manipulator"

"Villain monologue"

"You an I, we are not so different"

"Mukbang stalker"

And even

"The power of love reforms the villain"

I didn't expect this series to devolve into such a trope fest, and yet here we are
