Definitely true. I wasn’t really thinking about it that way, just annoyed I guess? I don’t know why cause I love translating and reading this series. Probably just tired… Thanks for the commentTo be honest, I'm not sure it's a saviour complex. I think it's rather that Takanashi has seen the "reality" of dreams and feels the only thing he can do as a teacher is to ensure his pupils have all the information they need to make an optimal decision. Given that they're teenagers, of course information isn't the only thing they need, as they also lack the emotional maturity to process that information adequately, so the second visit when their dream is crashing down gives them the opportunity to do that.
And that's not to save them, I feel it's like how he can save himself. I'm not sure how altruistic he is. His behaviour verges on a monomania, but that could be said about the train engineer and the voice actor arcs, too, I don't see this as more extreme than the previous ones. In a sense, he could even be described as a sort of stalker for monitoring the first few years of his former charges' adult lives.
Then again, this is being played as Takanashi being able to see through the insanity of the world that creates situations like those his former pupils are living. This series in a sense is an indictment of society. I'm positively surprised at how non-judgemental the series is of the students in each arc, even Ryo. And frankly, series can be guilty of far worse things than that, I'm okay with it.
SBEVEthis manga has the same fake depth as s(h)(e) be(l)(i)(e)ve(d)
The events and inner dialogue in this chapter imply that's just not going to happen on their own accounts.let the girl and the idol settle this between them already,
i dont think the'yre(we're) mad about that circumstance/topic which i think is great that it's being addressed (for awareness ig) but the fact that this arc is so dragged out that it couldve been done within like 2-3 chapters ago. but instead they try to make the teacher be like the hero of justice, coincidentally trying to be like yomawari sensei. it's now becoming a fantasy feel good justice manga which irks me a lot considering that it first tried to do a realistic approach. it's not a bad premise(similar to oshi no ko) tbh but not on how this manga tried to establish. they shouldve just made a smut manga instead.people seem to be mad about this arc, but it's actually pretty closely related to real life and current events. This an actual problem in tokyo right now, news stories and police warnings come out everyday about women (including minors...) doing exactly what happened in this chapter and draining their bank accounts for their fav chika idol/host. I know girls irl who are stuck or keep falling into this cycle
Yeah sensei is acting a hero, but irl there is no hero and no one helps these girls. Its a nice fantasy that maybe someone could be saved, its nice to imagine
