This was just a very good short story. The lead girl is enthusiastic, endearing, and sincere. She takes her role as class representative extremely seriously so she's very dependable, so much so her classmates take advantage of her. She's serious, although the lead male has the tendency to make her get a bit dramatic----with reason I might add.

I thought the lead male was entertainingly silly and very OOC or out of character for any type of teacher and he's definitely not like any teacher I've ever had. He's brilliant. I won't spoil it, but he's regularly found in compromising positions with ... other students.

The relationship between the female student and male teacher is stressful at best, but it is a logical set up. She's 18 currently getting ready to graduate and he's 25 so it's far from unrealistic pairing. It's quite nice and I found myself laughing out loud and thoroughly enjoying the storyline and characters. It's not mundane, even if the story is unoriginal. It keeps you on your toes to see more.

The art is impressive with plenty of Bishies in it, well two to be exact. However the added story which is a short romance between a male student and a kindergarten teacher---which is more of a crush story had poor art in my opinion. However, I believe that was an earlier work of the artist. Overall great story with fantastic art, and well developed characterization that I really recommend it; especially for any Teacher-Student lover.

I often see the same kind of long reviews that say too much and nothing I actually wanted to know. I HATE SPOILERS, but I also don't want to waste my time with a story that starts great but decays and ends poorly or one where, after all their trouble, the couple doesn't end up together.. for no reason at all.

So I thought I should review in a different way, YES or NO answers to the questions:

- IS THE ENDING GOOD?
- DOES THE MAIN COUPLE END TOGETHER?
- IS IT WORTH MY TIME?

***If you don't want to know the answers to these 3 questions you ... should stop reading right now.***
If you're like me who just want to know if the story is worth your time, go ahead. So without further ado:

Is the ending good? YES
Does the main couple end up together? YES
Is it worth my time? YES


BRIEF FULL REVIEW: This is a very sweet and funny age-gap romantic short story. There aren't too many other age-gap stories that have the right amount of teasing and sweetness like this one, they're usually too intense or too mellow. The characters personalities are predictable but captivating and the main couple's dynamic is enough to make the story interesting, the art is also very pretty and shoujo-like with a good comedic timing. If you like classic shoujo antics and age-gap (not really that big) romance, you'll definitely enjoy this fun and quick read.


EXTRA:
Of course this is all my opinion, but I'd say I'm a pretty ordinary, sane and romantic person, just so you can have an idea of who wrote this. I absolutely HATE SPOILERS with all my might! But I also don't like to waste my time browsing through LONG OPINIONATED reviews only to be more confused than I was before, not find the answers I was looking for and usually bumping into unwanted spoilers. Because of all this I intend to make my reviews brief, focusing on answering these three questions. If you like this kind of review I try my best to write in all animes and mangas I've experienced, so you can see a complete list of reviews next to my name just above.

Thank you, you're welcome and peace out. ^^
