It's a shame I can't rate this any lower. It feels like for a long while, every time I've come back to check in/catch up on this, I try to lower my rating, but it's already at 1 star every time. At this point, I'm hate reading it out of sunk cost fallacy~

 

[blablablub]

We're both suspended

That's no reason to run.

is it more about the story or work quality?

 

[raddcuban]

DEFINITELY the story; I wouldn't ever lower my rating of a series over scanlation quality.
Thanks for reviving this trash fire and bringing me one step closer to freedom from this hell~

Man, I mean this author's writing has never been good, but this whole arc deserves the axe this eventually looks like it gets. So goddam stupid man. Oh, you drank alcohol in your own home? Sent to a monastery and expelled. Prepare for your court mandated castration after that.

 

[Mdmazzing]

Expulsion because he drank alcohol and had sex in his own home this shit's ridiculous.

 

[Spliser03]

i see alot of comments about how drinking alcohol isnt that bad... IF they had sex... ok (we dont even know if they really had... could be proven by doctors i think...) but drinking underaged i can see that as a reason for supension... but not for expulsion... i bet it was the kouhai... but the real "mastermind" either the girl or that guy from the fastival...

Getting caught drinking underage publicly should get you suspended for a few days to a week max. Getting caught underage drinking in your own home by one of your relatives should generally not involve the school. If the parents of your underage drinking partners raise a fuss about it, then perhaps it can also lead to a similar suspension and probably a probationary period when you're back in school. AFAIK, we haven't seen anything that implies that said parents did, but please correct me if I just glossed it over. The measures we are seeing are far beyond what would normally be called for.
There are schools in JP that demand that students not engage in illicit relationships with each other under the threat of disciplinary action, and would react very negatively to this whole situation, leading to a similar response. Those are usually prestigious and disciplinarian private academies, not somewhere you would find Cotton or Ibu attending.

 

[Mangamoz]

What the fuck is this arc? There is no way Japan is this obnoxious about alcohol right?

With all that being said, Seiichi's cousin is one of the school's top staff. They might be worrying about PR and what people might think of their school after the word gets out somehow. The school might have wanted to disassociate themselves with the potential underage "relations" and underage drinking. But then again, the term "退学" (たいがく) doesn't inherently imply "expulsion", it could be something like "[mandatory] suspension," or literally, "leaving school," at least according to the dictionary I use. But, serious actions come with serious words, so I chose the word "expulsion."
But what can I say without spoiling the rest of the story? Aol thpu johyhjaly ohz wsva hytvy... (shift cipher)

Thing is (and it's something I've been memeing on it since the whole bs started), the one who found them is his cousin teacher....
His cousin.....his own FAMILY
The cousin that so wanted him to have a happy youth with friends directly threw him (and the girl/"s") under the bus instead of trying to understand what the hell happened....y'know, like a normal family member would do?

This is what wasted the whole story. Because, we read weird romance mangas all the time, so the weird guy that find solace in eroges because he got his feelings toyed with as a kid and now god forbids if a real girl has feelings for him....y'know, we can even accept that.....
But the amount of bs this author has put out just to create a bit of drama (ohhhh, and they love drama it seems) is mind boggling.
9 years of a somewhat nice romance manga and we end up on a final or second to last arc like this...

 

[CoolOtamegane]

I dropped around chapter 40 same as LH dropped this,
And My curiosity take me me with largest Comment 118 and Skip to 121
.
Such bullshittery ate my remaining precious braincells,
Expulsion because they drink alcohol and threesome in own home is ridiculous....
.

 

[Lewd_Beast]

I appear to have done the same as a couple of other people here, and just looked at this chapter to see if it is still as bad as when I dropped it at Chapter 20 after that absolute brain-dead car crash of an arc. And it is nice to see that it is still a smouldering dumpster fire and there is no accounting for taste in whoever is still reading this, who are probably here for the fan-service and are happily putting up with the trash writing by only using their "little brain" I have this scored at 1 too, but obviously others are happy to turn their brains off for a while for the sight of some cartoon tits...

in this case, iirc they didn't choose to drink alcohol, someone swapped their drinks with it or smt like that. there's def the problem of "if someone can just spike your drink and in turn you get in trouble for that" (in their own home especially), then that makes this situation even worse narratively since apparently none of that was even considered, especially since the one who was gonna report this was a relative.

I don't fully blame the cousin, she's a teacher who technically would've had to say something instead of risking it with someone else leaking the info and then it being found out that didn't report it. iirc she's doing stuff in the background trying to fix the situation (since they didn't go and buy alcohol, someone swapped their drinks, she has to know... right?), and that's where it's all falling apart for me. especially since it's not just protag and FMC, but also a third party that messes with things.

 

[gmtns]

what a turn of events

 

[SchultzD]

I kind of think that 'embraced' in the 3rd frame of p. 15 would be more suitable than 'hugged' considering the context of their situation (and the 4th frame of p. 16).

And, of course, I'm with everyone on how stupid this whole arc is. Because the cousin who is a teacher at the MC's school, knows his issue with 2D-3D-girls and it can be even seen as that she made a goddamn school club to hook him up with real life girls, but still just goes and reports him to the school right after he finally got intimate with those real girls (even though alcohol was involved) and was discovered by nobody, but her (she could've feigned ignorance by silently closing the door and going to the shower to make an alibi for herself (if it was really needed)). Really makes me question the author's sanity.

 

[ExarchOfAfrica]

There should be a way to filter out 1-star and 10-star ratings; that way I don't have to read much of the whining which exists above me.

 

[Manchura]

"why would they do this over alcohol?!?!?!"

MFers they are doing this over the perceivable sex thing, with an IDOL (everyone forgets that cotton's friend is that) OF ALL THINGS

HE'S BEING EXPELED TO APPEASE AN IDOL COMPANY

 

[Angelnickl]

Thanks for picking this up. I been hoping to read how this ends, it definitely seems like it is overblown but I can't really comment on Japan's policies.
