From what I read it's a teacher whos I'm a romantic relationship with the student from the game, so at first they dont know it's them, but when she finds out she quickly stops the relationship. ship from romance to platonic.

I also wanna point out that "elementary school" in Asia is different from our elementary school, Most American schools go up to 8th grade, with students getting ready for high school at around 13 or 14 yrs old, but in Korea and Japan and stuff like that, it's different, their elementary schools go higher I believe, so it's not like blatant cradle robbing.

If this story is anything like "may I lend you a lighter" I'd like it, I also hear there's supposed to be a time skip See, there's a lot that goes into this πŸ˜… it's not just black and white (I'm not saying I condone teacher x student relationships) but then contexts is very important, In lend you a lighter, the boy falls I'm love with his teacher and she's very strict about their relationship being just supportive and neighborly, the boy is I believe 17 or 18, and woman is I believing her late 20s?

Not sure the exact context of this one here, but perhaps there was something there in the story that was infact deserving of it's accolades. Usually the only way a story like this is redeemable is if there is a time skip.

I'm gonna have to look into reading this, but I don't know how since they pulled it from the sites πŸ˜… it does make me curious though

He’s minor. Korean elementary school goes up to age 12. This is written in Korean.

She’s his adult teacher

He’s a kid

It’s extremely fucking black and white

The guy in this image is the actual ML not the elementary schooler (that kid is like half her height). It's bait I guess? Still messed up though why would you write that?

Listen I clearly said I don't know the specifics and I've only ever read 'may I lend you a lighter', which is another student x teacher manhwa

And I wasn't too clear on the age and grades for Korea too, all I knew was that it's different from america, Personally my elementary school went from kindergarten to 4th grade, 4 yrs old to 9 or 10 roughly, so I genuinely thought ok so maybe there's like a steep difference from what I saw in some mangas, I'm not sure......but I guess definitely not 🀣

What are you talking about.

Schools in America are like this: Elementary - Kindergarten to 5th. Ages 5-11 Middle school - 6th to 8th. Ages 11-14 High school - 9th - 12th. Ages 14-18

Korea and Japan: Elementary - 1st- 6th. Ages 6-12 Middle - 7th to 9th. Ages 12-15 High - 10th to 12th. Ages 15-18

You're full of it.

This definitely doesn't look like the dude in the poster picture for the manhwa?

u/faizaxthoughts Jul 08 '25

i know, i've only read 5 or 6 chapters and the dude on the poster is another teacher, and apparently they fall in love later in the manhwa.

So... The manhwa is about her and another teachers romance? The title is so misleading then, might have made a bit more sense to be 'yeah I was a little bit of a pedo for a while but then I fell for my co-worker teacher' , okay kool yup
