This is disgusting. I don't want to see this kind of thing in this Manga.

Never been an actual art student so I am not very familiar with tools used in professional drawing aside from the basic pencil and eraser.
Seeing him use a paper cutter to sharpen his pencil. Is it normally what artists do to get better shading and stuff? 🤔
Cause it got me thinking if I was there, I probably would have got a cut on my hand for sure 😅

 

[KazeRosetai]

When I read or see age gap romance between a young guy and and older woman I think it’s cute but when the genders are reversed I feel disgust. That last panel

 

[Melancholy99]

I don't know how I feel about this anymore, in the beginning him learning about the nude human body was somewhat ok, its already questionable with it being a female teacher at the school modeling for him in private, but with feelings changing and another student teacher relationship being introduce with them still in school, feels kind of predatory to me. Like what is happening at this school?

 

[Eternities]

The main relationship was already questionable, but that last panel is just actual grooming. Giving it one more chapter in hopes it's a fake out, but if not fuck this shit.
Also doesn't help that I feel like the author is trying to set up a way to excuse these kinds of relationships as legitimate.

 

[Sussudio]

Funny thing is before this chapter. I was thinking maki could be a lowkey solid second option for Gin if/when the sensei thing burns out. Then I got to the last page of this chapter....

Not that I'm defending this, but you all people realise your double standards right? Sadly, student teacher relationships aren't that rare, especially in small towns like these.

I know right? the blatant double standards are mind blowing

Gin is looking at a piece of art in Andrew Wyeth's book called Lovers and it contains a nude woman.
I wonder if the woman is Sakura?

 

[Chronigan]

Thanks Daphie! Just found and binged this. Man this is getting all sort of complicated. I wonder how Gin will feel with everyone else drawing her as well. I have a feeling he is going to need some one on one sessions as well.

Okuda sure seems slimy. Age gap is great when their is equality, but if there are power discrepancies it is rapey. Then again we haven't seen how she reacts. She might kick him in the nuts then shove her tongue down his throat.

You sure do manage to find the good ones. Hope Gin and Sakura end up together and happy. I'll die on that hill with you.

It's ineresting how Gin thought that the name Silver was a dig at him, when it was actuallynher naming the dog after the person she loved.

Also Gin and Sakura already talk like a couple that has been dating for a year or two. Those two are super close and I love their banter.

Here is a question. We've seen that Gin has some feelings for sensei. What about her? So far it seems like he is just another stray cat she istaking care of

 

[InsertBagelRelatedPunHere]

I'm starting to feel like this story has lost the thing that interested me in the start. I don't care about the drama, I don't care about these other characters that have barely existed. I'm here for a story of a guy pursuing art in a potentially illicit manner through an unusual relationship with his teacher, not a shitty romance with convoluted drama. Maybe the initial shine has worn off but I'm just not interested in the way this is going.

Also is that teacher at the end the same one who took her underwear last time? Are they building a generic "bad" version of the MC's relationship? If so is it to justify it or to vilify it? Questions that will take 2 years to answer.

So? Men and women are different. We have different morals and views. It is not double standards lol.

Men and women are different. It is not double standards.

 

[rudeezy]

To me its not even double standards because what's happening between these sets of characters is not the same. Gin is developing feelings for her which is mixing with his spark of inspiration with Sakura as his muse but she really isn't doing anything to show that she's romantically interested in him at all. She just has an unhealthy mindset of how to motivate Gin to get better at drawing because that's what she thinks is going to get him to care enough to practice. It may or may not still be manipulation, but we don't know if she understands how to actually be a good teacher, and I think having that single panel of Sakura's teacher means that they'll get into it at some point in the future, it seems significant enough that we got to see what he looks like.

The glasses teacher Okuda and Maki is just straight up an inappropriate student-teacher relationship and there was literally a single page depicting it so far, I think the mangaka has the capacity to write something more nuanced than what you're giving her credit for, at least wait for another chapter. I don't think we're supposed to see these relationships as the same thing.

can't believe ya'll made me make register my account so i could comment on the forums LOL, I think this series is great so far just let her cook!!!

I was wondering the same thing. Could be a red herring but could be a great plot device. This may be where the drama and age gap come into play. I think Sakura has had a big journey up until this point and possibly a lover or two. Naive Gin, who's in love with her will have a hard time reconciling with that. Or maybe it's just someone she just really respected. Very intrigued.

 

[Ahmadpo]

im not mad about the student teacher relationship. but this Maki showed some real temper when she realized something was on and here she is doing the same stuff if not worse. the audacity of this bit

 

[skankhunt129]

Gotta admit i dislike this development, i enjoyed when it was just him looking at her from a artistic perspective now that its romantic im losing a lot of interest. I hope the author back tracks or focuses way more on the artistic point then the romance.

Ik this is strange since im reading a story where a teen stares at their naked teacher to draw them but i just wanted it to be about art with weird undertones that never went anywhere.

Agreed, it's been skirting the line ever since the first chapter, and it's gotten worse over time as things got more sexual/romantic when it didn't need to be.
