Sometimes I see "interesting" manga excerpts on Instagram. The same here and I had to take a look.

A rather unpopular teacher suddenly meets a girl who thinks she knows him. As he doesn't want to damage his reputation any further, he tries to keep her at a distance until she reveals herself to be a monster girl who evolved from an octopus that he once rescued.

The manga "Ano Toki Tasukete Itadaita Monster Musume Desu" is VERY short. Not much happens here yet, but a lot is hinted at. I can't and don't want to say much because otherwise I would spoil it.
The manga ... has a few SPICY moments - if you know what I mean and I'm still unsure how much I'm sold on it.
It also seems to be rushing through a lot very quickly at the moment, which I also don't like.

That said, this has the potential to be a good, nice little story.

I'm always fond of stories featuring a teacher guiding his students, but this manga is not the way to go about it.
Long story short, he raised monsters to become special people, and they evolved into girls who are into him.
Not just lust, but they seek to bring him on the path of success of sorts.

It would have been epic and cool... if the MC didn't have bottom levels of self-confidence.
Usually, this kind of thing isn't an issue, I understand to a fair degree some people have their struggles and challenges.
We all have problems we must overcome, it takes time, and that is forgivable.
What isn't, is ... this MC letting bad things happen literally on purpose.

This isn't a one-time thing, in a mere 13 translated chapters, I have witnessed too many uncomfortable moments of him tolerating abuse.
To make it worse, he makes no effort to defend the students, he is aware there are a lot of bad people after the girls, but he doesn't care.
For the first time in a while, I am disgusted by an MC's behavior which brings me inches away from dropping.

A real teacher would always care about his or her students regardless of the circumstances.
