2.0

It's a spin off from another book, Hitorijime My Boyfriend, so it's probably expected that you're already familiar with the characters. I picked it up at random so I was very confused when I suddenly had ten characters to differentiate from each other- especially because the first chapter is a flashback and the second is the main timeline.
The characters are tropey and follow a common bl plot. I'm also not a fan of the student/teacher aspect even if their connection is more through their past than their relationship as student and teacher. It's still a 12 year age gap which the artist acknowledges in an extra which depicts the couple as a 15 and 3 year old.
The art's nice enough but the first comic is probably better, although that might just be my preferences for couple types.
