Several taboos are combined in one short story, but this seemed to make sense. This is a cute one-shot that will make you giggle and smile, and anyone who understands why an older man's hands are so handsome will blush. It's a nice quick read that leaves me wanting more, but I still agree it was cut off at the right time. I wonder what happened next... We're given too little information on the age and matureness of the young female student. I loved the art, especially the way faces were sometimes drawn very detailed and sometimes very minimalistic. This helped set the mood immensely, as readers were only given a few pages to get in to the story. I had to look twice at some panels to realize what was going on, though, which was a bit bothersome. The main character was likable and innocent. (And relatable, in my case.) The Teacher is described as a meanie, but I didn't think he was mean at all. I'd sooner describe him as a bit too consumed by his power status. Either way, whether you like them or not, the characters were well put together. I would recommend this short story, wish there was more!
