so rare you could date teachers tbh (as a protagonist teacher-equal kind of underrated level even! not like the ones with questionable student-teacher dynamic!). Another work of yours to hit it off with the nostalgic oldie vibes, liked it! though there were some points that passed my mind as i played. i found it was a bit too fast-paced, the characters all had potential to grow/develop their relationship more with the endings like a transition from prologue to continuing chapter/parts of the story. and i had the impression that Satou’s character and his dynamic with the protag felt more developed/intimate somehow and he was the newer guy involved in life too, to boot! meanwhile, the protag was more lenient in her judgment to Eiichi but i can see he was more visible in his romantic advances, fair considering Mr. Satou’s personality.
another point i was kinda wondering was if the rating could be at least teen since aside from the minor suggestive/romance-social nuances of the everyday life of adult setting, i wasn’t expecting all that—spoiler
dark past of Kenichi lol what with stalking, blackmail, threats, beating etc. by a whole gang and the ‘date’ scene with Eiichi. oh and i found kind of a double character intro when you went down the choice of going to class early and meeting Mr.Takano->picking the option ‘he’s a good person’ about Mr. Satou->finish the work where later/tomorrow you will have the scene of having Eiichi ‘introduced’ again through description about him.
my favorite thing about each of the two was that one being more inspiring and the other was realistic (too realistic i got his bad end first on accident lmao). it was overall still a charming theme and characters! the teaching motivation going on for each character and the protag reminded me of some anime teacher characters (mostly from Assassination Classroom, and that one anime about like a sorta delinquent or smthn teacher I forgot).
