I'm not very mature, so I might be wrong on this, but I think he is kinda cool. Or at least someone you'd respect a lot.Hmm I remember reading this manga back in 2019, I was 17 and actually in high school... It was a lot of fun learning about these philosophers and different concepts, and the first "arc" had some really great characters that I related to.
Reading it again as an adult is definitely a different experience... Takayanagi is certainly not the infallible cool teacher I thought back then, and he even says stuff that the manga accepts as truth but I as a working adult would disagree with. I'm glad the new arc is focusing more on that. In a way, I've grown up along with this manga, just as the characters do in it.
And Jesus, as a side note, I don't expect much from the Mangadex demographic, but for a manga entirely about ethics and learning to understand empathy and other people, the people reading it sure like to have bigoted views, judging from some of these comments. It's crazy to see the same people saying "bullies should be executed" also say "being trans is unnatural and globohomo is ruining the world."

They need to fit it in a tight page. Vol 8 had Buddhist quotes which I think is the author's religion.This manga seems so shallow lol. I was expecting some actual ethics discussion, it's just some superficially deep dialogue and name dropping philosophers.
I wonder when will they execute those who push that ideology to soft minded children? It is literally treason and subterfuge."Bigoted" knowing there's two genders
He should try, he is ethical after all.teacher really said I can fix them
I stopped reading fantasy and went into mental like this.I'm not very mature, so I might be wrong on this, but I think he is kinda cool. Or at least someone you'd respect a lot.
Edit: My god is this one hell of a masterpiece.
