damn I knew I was missing something. Let me fix that real quick.Hm, it wasn't translated, but it was a golden award, meaning first place. Now I'm curious why that wasn't enough for his Mum.
I'm always struck by the restrictive upbringing of children that's so often depicted in manga. Just let the poor boy wear his shoes as he wants, woman.
Now I'm wondering what Takanashi would say to a student who's truly extraordinary at what they want to do. Then again, the train engineer kid had extensive knowledge from a young age, so I think Takanashi takes talent into account when issuing his warnings.
Not just restrictive, but possibly even neglectful. The kid is complaining about his toes, so it sounds like his feet have already outgrown his current shoes--it's not even just a matter of what he wants to do. It's pretty impressive of the author to portray that much depth in such a short scene.I'm always struck by the restrictive upbringing of children that's so often depicted in manga.

I mean it would be an interesting twist if Ryoto did end up succeeding/climbing to the top but i imagine he'll be his own downfall messing around with gachikois (stans), if anything it prolly would've been better to fool around at a Host Club since they stereotypically rely heavily on the alcohol/everyone's drunk versus a career where it's infamously known to be a 'no relationships' kinda thing, unless he was already scouted by a 'higher up' group to where he'd have more body guards to help against the stalkers (which would be kinda hard at this point if he's already invited them to his bedroom lol)Sensei learns all about his student's careers so that if any of them start to succeed in a career that he has expressed disapproval of, like Ryoto , then he can use his knowledge of the industry to stalk them and sabotage their careers
That's why sensei is stalking Ryoto and following the group message boards.
He doesn't want to be proven wrong.
He's the careers counselor, so if he says your career is going to fail , he's going to make sure you fail the same way he failed to be a Pianist. Sensei wants to be seen as the insightful hero giving out tough love, when really he wants to drag every student down to his level. If he couldn't succeed in his dream to be a pianist, then no student is allowed to succeed.
I believe in Ryoto and his ability to overcome his creepy freakazoid teacher's stalking and harrassment and attempts to sabotage Ryoto's fanbase.
I did find it odd that he didn't 'butt in' and tell the mom that her kids shoes were too small, but at least he didn't kick the baseball kid when he's down tho i suppose pissing off a neighbor wouldn't be ideal, unless he only 'crushes' dreams when you become a teen (tho a teen might be even more stubborn/double down on it outta spite versus a kid [I never had strong goals myself but i can totally imagine some ppl at that age being like "Fuck you, i'll become successful anyways" and motivated from spite more than encouragement lol])Not just restrictive, but possibly even neglectful.

I wonder if he'd have an out of character emotional fit if a student ever told him they wanted to be a pianist lolHm, it wasn't translated, but it was a golden award, meaning first place. Now I'm curious why that wasn't enough for his Mum.

Wearing shoes like that will break them faster. However, the kid can't wear them properly because they are too small. I think that was the intended takeaway.I'm always struck by the restrictive upbringing of children that's so often depicted in manga. Just let the poor boy wear his shoes as he wants, woman.
