Nao Emoto

A beautifully illustrated book, with magnificent metaphors and pictures waiting to pull you into the sea. (Also: I love granny. She is awesome and chaos incarnated.)

o shit it's poppin' off

boooo milo-sensei you skeeze, booo

Personally not thrilled with how Milo continues to somehow scrape by as a protagonist rather than I dunno, quitting teaching, but you know, it’s a manga and all. Aside from wanting to banish the adult men who were quasi involved with high schoolers in this, I’m really happy with how this series was paced and plotted and how it wrapped up. I really loved the series as a whole.

Many manga series seem to either exclusively represent a innocent first love experience or a gritty, sexualized world full of dangers. I enjoy how this series shows that those two depictions of love and sexual experience actually both exist in the same spaces and bump up against each other.
