@Snickrot Problem here is (or rather its admirable) how they've managed to hold on, given that they'll still have to wait till the guy graduates and while I can accept that, my one small gripe in the series is it being too slow or the passage of time isn't important enough despite reminding us of his age, I mean New Year has just been finished and its still winter, but once it'll be spring in-verse, I do hope they at least change the way they mention on how long they'll wait with it now being 2 years left (which took us 25-probably 30 chapters to do)
Also, since you mentioned a little bit of your experience, I honestly feel sorry for the kid to not at least go as far as second base at least when they're in private. Still think sensei is too strict but again its also admirable.
