This is a great shoujo manga that manages to stand out amongst all the typical highschool romance stories out there. There is a great emphasis on the characters being more somber than you normally see in the genre and often being depressed due to their own situations (Be warned suicide is brought up alot). Despite this the author manages to keep things hopeful and comedic, so if you're a fan of dark humor it accomplishes this very well. In general the story is one of people dealing with their own issues and being uplifting for one another, providing each other with a bit of happiness. ...

Mikoto is a very refreshing shoujo heroine that is both entertaining and relatable. I thoroughly appreciate not having a heroine that's overly peppy and driven 100% of the time but instead being more down to earth. Her relationship with Jin is very well established from early on in the series and the romance scenes with them feel very natural with some genuinely thought provoking dialogue. Say what you will about age gap stories but the pair have a well established connection that feels natural. While the side characters can at times feel underdeveloped they are all likeable and seeing how they look out for one another is heartwarming.

Overall a great romance manga with an emphasis on dark humor that provides an uplifting atmosphere at the same time.

Tsuiraku jk to haijin kyoshi is a very unique shoujo manga with refreshing male mc and female mc. If you are tired of the same troupes and cliches of every shoujo mangas this is definitely worth a try as it uses the cliches in a great manner.
First the story is very simple a forbidden relationship between a teacher and a student and what I liked about the story is how they addressed the age gap and the moments between the characters are really natural. Another thing which appealed to me about the story was its sense of humor. I guess these types of ... comedy is called'dark humour' not too familiar with the term. As for the art it's spectacular all the good scenes are drawn beautifully. The cover pages are really cute.
As for its characters mikoto ochiai- I'm a big fan of kuuderes mikoto is a really good female lead. I love how her commentary is and her deadpan jokes and her gloomy nature. And what I liked about her is that she isn't dense
Haijin- lazy , good for nothing , a slacker, a stalker etc... There are so many things which are bad about him but thats what makes him really interesting. Despite all the bad points his love for mikoto and how indirectly he supports her in her relationships despite being possessive and how he knows his boundary. His backstory is pretty sad. (It's not the same melodramatic stuff )
The side characters were also pretty good like takamine, nazuna and her brother, mikotos siblings etc. They r fun to read.
As for the negative aspects of the show if you are not a fan of the humor or think the story is a drag then it's not recommended for you
Overall I really enjoyed the show and it's episodic pacing. I'm really curious how their relationship will turn out once mikoto graduates.

I am fond of the age-gap trope and come across this one. Attempted to read it twice because I didn't particularly appreciate how the story started BUT I thank myself for having the first 5 chapter rule. If you feel the same way as I am, be patient.

This one is very unique. It is rare to come across a plot like this and actually turns out well. Keep in mind that if you have depression/suicidal tendencies and choose to read this one, please read it during your good days. I'm a psych major and even I was a bit worried about other readers out there ... because of the mental health flag alerts along the way, passing off as a dark humor (which I'm not a fan of). But as the story progresses, you will know it's worth it and possibly learn from them as well.
