A sensitive plot handled well.
This series is very cute and manages to handle a difficult plot well.
Student teacher romances make me uncomfortable for all the usual reasons. Age gaps are a power imbalance; the addition of the student teacher dynamic adds to the imbalance. This story managed to navigate that well, without crossing lines. The teacher set a boundary and maintained it until the relationship wouldn't be a problem.
I really liked how they showed things first from the student's view and then revisit those moments from the teacher's view.
While I still am not a fan of age gap/power imbalance/student-teacher/boss-subordinate tropes in romance, this story is presented well.
