It isn't normal, and a lecherous teacher poaching on high school girls isn't right. The intellect level is truly worlds apart...

It's because you've been indoctrinated by the manga clichés that in that world, it's a-ok, and by media and people around you in the real world that here it's not okay.

I like seeing murders and cruelty in my fiction, I don't like it in real life - same thing. (Though I couldn't give a damn on what relative ages people who fall in love are.)

-shudder-
Not for me. Even though I'm a girl, that category isn't my liking...in manga/real life situations.

Going back to your question, age really matters when reading manga.
(I felt like I lost something when reading Berserk or Ichi the Killer - however I do enjoy the seinen genre. XD)

It's called fantasy. You would never do it in real life, but there is nothing wrong with fantasizing about it and writing a manga about it.

Nothing wrong with that. At all.

Err, that's a silly reason. I mean, if you're not involved in the relationship, whether you find it weird or not should be irrelevant.

But eh, if that's what your moral lies upon, go ahead.

...All I seem to talk about lately is ethics.

Um, my sister recently married a man old enough to be her father. They are both very much in love, kthnx, and there's nothing wrong with either of them. So, yeah.

There's nothing wrong with having a relationship with an older man as long as the man does not want you simple to dominate you or is into having a Lolita/Humbert complex, and both parties see each other as equals no matter the age gap.

well, sorry
you see the reason i feel negative about is because i know someone who is very close to me in that situation and well it didn't end up so good and i guess i felt it could never work out.

I'm sorry that happened, but to tell the truth, not all relationships between a younger person and an older person end in calamity. It just takes a bit more work between the two. ):

*shrug* i accept any kind of relationship if both sides are truly in love, in manga or in real life. as long as it doesn't involve pedophilia.

First off, instead of double posting, please edit your prior thread.

In terms of Student x Teacher relationships, I feel that its my favorite guilty genre. As long as the student isn't too young (and if they are, there tends to be a "lets not be together till your older - next chapter is 10 years later type of thing)

But is it something that I would condone in real life? Absolutely not. But it happens :)

No worries. If you want to reply directly, people find quoting a persons post most helpful in identifying who you are replying to.

Wow, there are way too many exclamation points in this topic!!!!!!!!! I get tired just reading this XD Anyway, I love student-teacher manga. Things work differently in mangaland :D I mean, for example, Shinjo Mayu's manga are a guilty pleasure, but if any of that happened in real life, I would be a little sick XD

Gosh when I hear that a teacher is sleeping with HER student, the first thing that comes into my mind - "man, why wasnt i that lucky!" then i see the picture of the teacher in question.... being sick doesnt cover it!! Guess its a guy thing, older woman and all, heck i still have that fascination!!
