I'm more shocked this still has a 7+ rating on this site despite the (correct) criticisms being levied against it non-stop. Even if you ignore the borderline self insert hand waving away of exploitation of a minor going on the story outside of that is so bland and boring since the actual interesting side characters all up and vanished.

What happened to the dude who has a poly relationship with like 4 other girls? What did he have to say about Koga getting broken up with? Why did the little sister only show up to run interference with groomer Sensei but get basically zero lines of dialogue or input on how it was stupid and fucked up (or how Meguro broke up with Koga, her little sister had nothing to say about that either?!). I can't even say it was axed because this "final" arc was so fucking long winded and meandering that if it was due to an axing it couldn't possibly have lasted this long (then again Gal*Cleaning got cheeky and managed to stay long past it's execution date so maybe something similar happened here).

The biggest travesty from this entire ordeal is that the author clearly thinks what the tutor did wasn't problematic despite them initially showing that the entire reason Meguro can't form meaningful relationships is specifically caused by him. What is the takeaway supposed to be here? I just can't wrap my head around how this turned out so poorly. It's such a hard swerve and that dissonance is making it harder to let go.

Author has a history of shitty endings if you look at their work history.

All of the comments in their past work's endings are people saying how bad the endings are.
Here are some examples:

This whole manga fell off a cliff as soon as the MC graduated. There was not a single moment that felt the same as the beginning after that.
I feel the same. They not becoming intimate and doing the thing while both were at school soured a lot of the second half. The imbalance in their relationship became way more pronounced and they felt like they were coasting through a half-assed relationship that doesn't seem believable in the current chapter.

“I will not forget what you taught me sensei”

**“I will not forget that you raped me, a minor, and permanently skewed my understanding of love, sensei”. There fixed it for you.

I still don’t see what the point of the the main couple breaking up was. It felt completely pointless and stupid if they’re gonna get back together literally right after she finished studying/exams. There was no fucking point. This manga started out good and then just became an incomprehensible shitshow. I’m so glad the next chapter is the last one.

I just looked and I gave it an "8" based on the earlier chapters and just never went back to revise it. Looking a lot more like a "5" unless something School Days happens in the next chapter.

The Cuck manga goes on 🫡

Also pretty sure he's never seen you as student, rather as a convenient fucktoy 😶

She's afraid of confessing, after technically confessing to her ex fuckbuddy, also the reason she broke up with Mr.Cuck was due to exams, then she goes and just doesn't tell him anything about it, instead she goes to her ex fbuddy and tells him first 😶

Meguro really is a robot doing what she is told until the very end. She "broke up" with the dude because someone told her so and now wants to talk to him again becuase someone told her so.

This is the worst relationship i've read in a manga for a very long time. Not even counting the gaslighting concerning the predator.

Author truely doesn't see anything wrong with any of this. She is truely unhinged.
