I didn't like the teacher's story, Hara.
There is no beauty in this book. Hara was in love with Sajou from the previous installments, a crush he has not surpassed yet. Then his first love from his years at school (who was a teacher, and an asshole, mind you) makes an appearance to put things upside down. And Hara still hasn't gotten over. (I see a certain M.O. from a trauma in the childhood here).
Suddenly this 15-year-old boy, Sorano, comes to school, and he loves Hara so much he manages to organize a date for Sajou (who is happily partnered with Kusakabe, thank God) and Hara. Then he takes care of Hara when he meets his old love from his youth.
Hara is an immature adult, yes, but also a selfish person, and a worse teacher. He's supposed to set an example, to have his shit together, to have certain limits he cannot cross. But no, he's just the opposite, he's a mess in every sense of the word: sentimental, professional, without a basic range of sensible values every person should have in order to live in a healthy society.
I couldn't fathom for the sake of it why would Sorano waste himself in someone like Hara, and how in the future he wouldn't see Hara as the loser he really is and dump him someday. Nobody can be THAT blind forever. Hara, on the other hand, isn't even decent enough to push Sorano aside for good, which made him even worse in my eyes.
The wonder I felt in the first 3 books was dimmed here. Only Sajou's and Kusakabe's scenes were worth it.

Hara sensei is a creep because he got crushes on little boys and cant put boundaries. As an adult he should know better but he's just immature and selfish.

¡Me ha gustado!
El estilo de Nakamura es delicioso, pena que la historia en sí de la pareja está poco desarrollada y el age gap es fuerte 15-37, no apto para todos los públicos.
Bonus esperado, la aparición de mis adorados Kusakabe y Sajô ♡♡♡♡♡♡

Kudos to Asumiko Nakamura for making me buy into one of my least favorite tropes, the student/teacher romance.
July 14, 2022
I was dreading this volume lol. I started reading it so long ago and then decided to just wait for it to release in English and still didn't pick it up when my preorder came. OB finally came out though and that's going to bring back Kusakabe and Sajo so I had to sit down and finish this one. I couldn't just skip it either because my brain wouldn't let me.
This volume follows Hara, the creepy teacher that had a crush on Sajo. According to the author's note people wanted to see him get a happy ending? Not me. I would've rather he didn't show up again. Well this time Hara has a new teen to romance! Age difference being 22 years (37 & 15). Sora is the pushy one in the relationship though, because Hara is adamant about the fact that he doesn't touch his students. (Guess he didn't try to kiss Sajo in the volumes before? Hm.) But it's about Hara moving on from his previous unfulfilled crushes and developing a romance with this new kid. The teacher Hara had a crush on also makes a comeback, but things don't move forward with them because he also has a new teen to hook up with. Blegh.
I think a rekindled relationship with Hara and his teacher would've been better. It would've made more sense and been less creepy. Sure Sora's the one that makes all the moves and Hara says he won't acknowledge him until he's an adult, but Hara clearly looks at teens in that way which is gross. I'm pretty sure his friend even made a comment about him "liking the young ones." Idk I can get behind *some* teen/adult age gap romances, but only in specific circumstances. Like yes it's fiction, but it just feels skeevy yknow? It's too predatory for me to agree with and it also doesn't offer any sort of commentary that would make me like this as problematic fiction. It's just meant to be a simple romance that I'm supposed to be okay with? And it's not even that good or interesting as a romance!
Beyond the age gap, this just wasn't interesting. I didn't really care about the romance or conflict. There wasn't anything that I thought was cute. I was mostly bored and it's probably because I just don't care about Hara as a character. As a story this isn't as good as the rest of the series. I'm glad to finally have this over and done with though so I can dive into the next volume and see Sajo and Kusakabe living their best lives together. :')

Why...Why...oh why I waited this long to read this manga. Well, maybe because I was not too fascinated with the art style. But then, Nakamura Asumiko sensei's art is not the typical art you see in a Yaoi manga. The line drawing style, the not so perfect faces or the blank expressions...yeah at first glance they will not fascinate you. But as you start reading, you get immersed in the story and the characters and you feel that the drawing style suits the story perfectly.
Story- 4.5 For all those who have read the
Art-3.5 As mentioned before, the art style is way different from the usual style you have seen in BL/Yaoi mangas. But, I think you can get used to it once you start reading the story. The art blends well with the story and its characters. I'm not sure how much I can like the flowing line drawing style, but the face and expressions were clear and good. Shounen-ai's do focus more on the dramatic aspect of the story and you can see that in their art.
Character-4 Well, for those of you who have read previous series, Hara sen has been a constant character and I always wanted to see his "happy ending". I'm glad that we get to see a side of Hara sen that previous mangas did not portray, his "desperately and idiotically in love" side ^.^ Sorano is a refreshing change from a typical Uke, although I wanted to see many more moments of his with Hara sen, that's why I felt his character development lacked something. Maybe pulling in other characters help in understanding Hara sen's past relationships, but Sorano and Hara sen's ending up together to me looked a little rushed.
Enjoyment-4 Enjoyment is definitely there, especially the conversations between Hara sen and Sorano. I love the way Hara sen gets flustered in front of Sorano whenever he tries to act like an adult, but not so convincingly^o^
Overall-4 The story is a good continuation and conclusion of a wonderful series. Of course, it leaves a lot to be desired from the Yaoi part, but if you are into Drama CD's, I highly recommend listening to it. The voice acting cast is awesome ♥♥♥ - Fukuyama Jun (Aoto Sorano), & Ishikawa Hideo (Hara Manabu).

Reflexively I gave this two stars but I bumped it down to one where it should be. The Classmates trilogy was really great - the first, a classic; the second, my favorite - but this fourth volume focusing on Harasen was really flat and soulless compared to the first three. It's significantly longer than any of the other volumes (I don't know if this is technically an omnibus, I know Seven Seas is going to publish OB as an omnibus) and yet it has a significantly less developed story than any of the other volumes.
Even if you check your feelings about the illegal nature of the romance at the door, understanding that whether or not you like it the age-gap teacher/student romance is an established BL manga trope, this really doesn't offer very much. I couldn't get a sense of yearning or angst from the characters, perhaps because Sora is pretty underdeveloped as a character. In fact, Hara is really the focal point of the manga and Nakamura kind of muddies this by throwing out so many things that just makes a reader want to psychoanalyze him - he tries to hook up with Sora because Sora in glasses reminds him of Sajou, but actually Sajou reminds Hara of Arisaka, who was Hara's teacher with whom he had an inappropriate relationship with as a teenager, so is Hara just trying to replicate that relationship with his own students to flip the power dynamic? - so the whole manga feels flat. The reader also never gets a sense of why Sora and Hara might grow to like each other in the future divorced from the baggage of their previous infatuations. (And also, Hibiki's mother, the only person having a rational reaction to Arisaka continuing to prey on his teenage students, is portrayed as a villain.)
Glad my library acquired this so I didn't have to waste my own money to read it.

Chinese title: 空與原
This has 神率of 64.3% on Chil-Chil!
Overall 4.5 ⭐️
A collection of stories revolving around 原学 (37) high school music teacher and 青砥空乃 (15) a new student, as well as different people from their past and present. Depicting the pains of growing up and the realities of adult life.
You can read more about these characters in O.B. 1&2, how the couples developed their relationships. I highly recommend reading the three books together! This series is beyond just fictional BL, it discusses homosexuality and the complicated society.
青砥空乃 x 原学
草壁光 x 佐条利人
佐野響 x 有坂悟志
本橋竜一 x 小松秀
Out of all of Nakamura Asumiko sensei’s BL works, this manga is not super dark like Inheritance of Aroma 薫りの継承 or Double Mints ダブルミンツ, but definitely not pure vanilla like Classmates 同級生 and Rakuen-kun 楽園くん…
Although 原学 had crush on his ex-teacher 有坂悟志 and ex-student 佐条利人 previously, 青砥空乃 also had unrequited love for his ex-schoolmate 藤野… 青砥空乃 couldn’t stand that 原学’s always putting other people’s happiness before himself so that he’s still alone at this age…
It’s only 青砥空乃 who’s able to give 原学 happiness despite being 22 years younger. In the dream 原学 is back to being a high school student and riding bicycle in the sky together with 青砥空乃, it feels good to be able to fly, should have done it earlier…
It’s not clear who’s the seme and who’s the uke until you read O.B. 2, they already waited 3+2 years until 青砥空乃 reached 20 (adult age in Japan) before attempting a physical relationship. Of course 青砥空乃 wanted to be the seme, it was also revealed that 原学 used to be uke when he’s younger.
From a moral stand point, both teachers 原学 and 有坂悟志 kept a distance from the younger person 青砥空乃 and 佐野響 when they were still their students. Also in both cases it’s older uke who’s passive and uncertain paired with younger seme who gave them hope and strength.

not necessarily bad, but i’m not a good fan of big age differences. i feel like this relationships with huge age gaps are common amongst some young gay men, and i don’t like how this manga just… romanticises is. hara loves the same thing with his professor, yet, he does almost the same thing to sorano.
kusakabe and sajo have my heart, they are healthy and lovely. hara and sorano? not so much
read 08/12/22
score: 2/5

Un poco red flag, pero cute y con argumento
February 15, 2016
Sebuah cerita cinta manis antara guru dan murid yang usianya terpaut 22 tahun. Dengan segera masuk jajaran buku favorit saya. Sangat recommended.
Fuuuuuh... Dari mana sebaiknya saya mulai?
Hmmm... kalau kalian sudah baca seri "Doukyuusei" sampai "Sotsugyousei", saya berani bilang ke kalian kalau "Sora to Hara" ini memiliki beberapa poin yang membuatnya terkesan berbeda jauh dengan kedua seri sebelumnya.
1. Pace-nya gak selambat dua seri sebelumnya. Ada feel terburu-buru di kisah ini. Terutama soal hubungan Sorano dan Harasen. Entah menurut orang-orang, tapi saya pribadi merasa kisah percintaan Sorano dan Harasen semestinya masih bisa dikembangkan dan dibuat lebih manis. Masalah ini bukan suatu kelemahan--setidaknya menurut saya--karena manga ini masih sangaaaaaaat tetap layak dibaca. Tapi yah, itu, pembaca gak lagi disuguhkan cerita bertempo lambat dan lembut seperti yang pernah saya paparkan di review "Sotsugyousei"
2. Tidak berfokus pada dua tokoh utama. Ini perbedaan yang amat besar dengan serial "Doukyuusei" hingga "Sotsugyousei" yang memang berfokus pada percintaan antara Kusakabe dan Sajou saja, gak ngalor-ngidul ke mana-mana, kalau memang ada percintaan lain itu hanya soal cinta Harasen ke Sajou doang. Tetapi, "Sora to Hara" justru memasukkan masalah cinta-cinta lain, terutama soal cinta masa lalu kedua tokoh utama. Pertama soal Harasen dan Sajou, dilanjutkan soal Sorano dan Fujino (temen SMP-nya), lalu Harasen dan Arisaka-Sensei (kalau kalian masih ingat, beliau sempat muncul waktu bagian flashback semasa SMA Harasen di serial "Doukyuusei-Sotsugyousei"), kemudian Arisaka-Sensei dan Hibiki, dan sekilas soal Kuma-chan (bener gak sih namanya? Itu loh, temen di gay bar yang biasa didatengin Harasen) dan Harasen versi muda *ciyeeeh.
Dan karena kebanyakan cerita cinta sampingan inilah, saya gak bisa gak merasa kalau kisah pasangan utama Harasen dan Sorano malah tersisihkan. Mau gak mau saya jadi merasa tempo hubungan percintaan mereka berdua itu terlalu terburu-buru (makanya saya bilang di poin 1 bahwa manga ini pace-nya gak selambat dua seri sebelumnya).
3. Atmosfernya cenderung lebih suram dibanding dua seri awal. Sementara selama dua seri awal, atmosfernya cenderung manis-manis-kiyut-kyaaaan, "Sora to Hara" cenderung berbeda. Ini mungkin dipicu pengarang yang kebanyakan mengangkat cinta masa lalu. Masalahnya, kedua tokoh utama kita ini sama-sama terjebak dalam cinta masa lalu masing-masing (dan sampai akhir pun masih belum dipaparkan secara terang oleh pengarang bahwa kedua tokoh utama kita berhasil move on, well Sorano sih sepertinya udah). Sepanjang cerita komik ini, pembaca disuguhi cinta-lama-yang-berusaha-disemikan-kembali-namun-tetap-tidak-berhasil-bersemi-kembali. Semacam itulah. Makanya, suasananya lebih muram dibanding "Dou-Sotsu" <-- makin lama si Gie makin males nyebutin judulnya secara lengkap :"v Apalagi Harasen tipe pria dewasa yang sok cool dan gak mau bergantung pada orang lain dan Sorano pun tipe pemuda yang bersikap lebih dewasa dibanding usia dia sebenarnya dan hobi memendam masalahnya sendiri. Makanya makin suram deh :"(
Ketiga poin di atas--meski cuma tiga--memberi pengaruh yang besar terhadap cerita. Saya baca-baca, banyak pembaca yang merasa "kurang" akan kisah-kisah manis dalam hubungan percintaan Harasen dan Sorano, yah saya juga. Saya kepengen ngeliat mereka berdua romantis-romantisan kayak Kusakabe dan Sajou :"( Kurang puaaaaaas kalau cuma segini, Nakamura-Senseiii ;______; Saya harap di O.B nanti bakal ada cerita Hara-Sora yang memuaskan keinginan saya ;_____;
Terus, teruuuus... mungkin ini bakal spoiler, jadi mohon berhenti baca bagi yang gak pengen xDD
Bab 1 itu menceritakan pertemuan Hara dan Sora, di sebuah gay bar. Sora itu badannya tinggi banget, makanya sering disangka udah 20 tahunan. Tapi wajahnya sangaaaaaaaat cute~~~ <333 Poin penting di bab ini adalah bahwa Sorano berhasil menyadari (saya suka, pengarangnya berhasil membuat pembaca tau kalau Sorano adalah cowok dengan insting yang tajam) bahwa Harasen itu mencintai Sajou, hanya dalam sekali pertemuan di sekolah. Hebat, Sorano, tapi entah kenapa pedih juga saya liatnya |||orz
Bab 2 si Sorano malah ngebantuin Harasen kencan dengan Sajou. Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh... napanapanapaaaaa!!!?? Sorano, napa dikau malah nyakitin diri sendiri dengan nyusun kencan orang yang dikau sukaiiiiin!!!??
Di bab ini, saya sempet ngakak ngeliat aksi Kusakabe ngebuntutin Sajou sepanjang kencannya dengan Harasen. God, Kusakabeeeeee, ngapain dikau masih pake kacamata item di dalem bioskooooppp??? Dodol banget, sumpaaaaah!!! Dia sebenernya gak rela Sajou kencan sama Sensei, tapi tetep diizinin, ending-nya malah dia ngambek sendiri. Dodol abis nih cowok xDD
Bab 3 giliran cinta masa lalu Sorano yang muncul. Saya nangis di bab ini. Siyalan, Sorano. Karakter Sorano yang dewasa tergali banget di bab ini. Saya jadi merasa kalau Harasen lebih kekanakan dibanding Sorano. Saya jatuh cinta sama Sorano di bab ini. Dan saya rasa Harasen pun demikian. Saya suka adegan Harasen nepuk-nepuk kepala Sorano dan Sorano nangis sambil memunggungi Harasen. Sangat lembut atmosfernya.
Bab 4... saya memang mengantisipasi kemunculan Sajou dan cinta masa SMP Sorano di dalam buku ini, tapi saya sama sekali gak nyangka bahwa cinta masa lalu yang lebih jauh juga ikut muncul: Arisaka-Sensei, guru Harasen semasa Harasen SMA. Orang yang secara tidak langsung membuat Harasen jatuh cinta pada Sajou karena Sajou begitu mirip dengan Arisaka-Sensei, dengan kata lain: inti dari cinta Harasen selama ini.
Di bab ini, Harasen jelas-jelas jadi mengabaikan Sorano karena pikirannya dipenuhi Arisaka-Sensei. Saya kesian sama Sorano. Haaaaah... tapi tetep aja, Sorano-lah yang ngejemput Harasen yang mabok dan membawanya ke rumahnya, sampai ngeberesin rumahnya segalaaaaa!!! Aaaaaawwww, Soranoooo, dikau cowok yang perhatian banget ;w;
Dan saya suka adegan samar-samar (karena cuma diperlihatkan sepotong), Sorano mencium Harasen waktu dia tidur >_____< Rasanya nyelekit-nyelekit gitu, siyalan Soranoooo, berbahagialaaaaah ;_____; Dan saya suka adegan mimpi Harasen yang dia jadi SMA lagi dan naik sepeda bareng Sorano ;______; Aw, feeeeeeelsssss ;_______;
Bab 5 penyelesaian masalah Harasen dan Arisaka-Sensei. Sekaligus penyelesaian Arisaka-Sensei dan Hibiki. Saya suka Sorano yang penuh emosi bilang kalau Harasen berhak marah, Harasen berhak mendapatkan kebahagiaannya sendiri dan gak melulu merelakan orang yang dicintainya. Saya suka gimana Sorano-lah yang meledak-ledak sampai-sampai Harasen kaget sendiri dan minta maaf tanpa sadar xDD
Dan, God, saya gak bisa gak nangis sewaktu Harasen mencium Sorano untuk membuatnya tenang dan berenti nangis (dia nangis demi Harasen, btw). Habis itu, TEPAT setelah adegan sangat-sangat-sangat romantis di mana Sorano bilang dia mencintai Harasen (dan senyum Sorano waktu ituuuuu!!! Senyumnyaaaaa....!!!), dimulailah adegan super begok!
Harasen nyium dengan posisi nindihin Sorano (gak, gak ada feels mesum di sini, sama sekali gak ada, jangan berpikiran aneh-aneh dan merusak suasana cerita, kalian), terus Sorano gak mau kalah dan berguling supaya posisinya di atas nyium Harasen, terus Harasen ogah kalah sama yang lebih muda dan berguling ke atas Sorano lagi buat nyium. Saya NGAKAK gila-gilaan di bagian ini! DASAR STUPID COUPLE!!!! Ahahahaha!!! Ngapain dua cowok guling-gulingan di pantai sampe gak sadar nyebur ke laut??? Begoooook ahahahahahaha!!! Gilak dasar xDD Bener-bener adegan yang maniiiiiis banget bagi saya!!! Akhirnya, atmosfer manis-manis-kiyut-kyaan yang membanjiri "Dou-Sou", muncul juga di komik ini~~~~!!! Lamaaaaaaa!!! Leleeeeeeet!!! Ah, munculin sejak awal kek! Ini super cute saya sampe bahagia sendiri cuman gara-gara liatin dua cowok begok guling-guling di pantai berpasir di musim dingin, oh God, saya kira ada yang salah dengan kepala saya!!! xDD
Setelah itu, suasana kembali romantis, Sorano bilang kalau dia akan membahagiakan Harasen (syit! Jadi sebenernya yang seme itu Sorano?? #gak) lalu dia lanjut bilang ngajak Harasen untuk mencari kebahagiaan bersama-sama.
Sumpah, saya... ekspresi Harasen saat itu... ekspresi Sorano saat itu... aaaaaaah feeeeeeelssss ;______; Saya nangis bahagia ;_______;
Dan cerita diakhiri dengan halaman exam sambung Harasen dan Sorano jalan gandengan tangan menyusuri pantai itu. Adegan penutup yang membuat saya terpaku beberapa saat antara percaya dan gak percaya, "Hah? Udah tamat?". Perasaan saya saat itu antara terpuaskan sekaligus gak terpuaskan ;____; Sebagai sebuah akhir, itu udah cukup, tapi pertengahannya justru berasa bolong--kurang digali.
Kesimpulan(?): Kalau nanti saya sudah keluar dari masa pertapaan tabungan ini, saya bakal ngeborong manga Anda, Nakamura-Sensei!!! Damn, I want to--have to--buy these all series. Take my money, Sensei, you deserve it for those all cute heart-warming couples!!!!
Fuuuuuh... Dari mana sebaiknya saya mulai?
Hmmm... kalau kalian sudah baca seri "Doukyuusei" sampai "Sotsugyousei", saya berani bilang ke kalian kalau "Sora to Hara" ini memiliki beberapa poin yang membuatnya terkesan berbeda jauh dengan kedua seri sebelumnya.
1. Pace-nya gak selambat dua seri sebelumnya. Ada feel terburu-buru di kisah ini. Terutama soal hubungan Sorano dan Harasen. Entah menurut orang-orang, tapi saya pribadi merasa kisah percintaan Sorano dan Harasen semestinya masih bisa dikembangkan dan dibuat lebih manis. Masalah ini bukan suatu kelemahan--setidaknya menurut saya--karena manga ini masih sangaaaaaaat tetap layak dibaca. Tapi yah, itu, pembaca gak lagi disuguhkan cerita bertempo lambat dan lembut seperti yang pernah saya paparkan di review "Sotsugyousei"
2. Tidak berfokus pada dua tokoh utama. Ini perbedaan yang amat besar dengan serial "Doukyuusei" hingga "Sotsugyousei" yang memang berfokus pada percintaan antara Kusakabe dan Sajou saja, gak ngalor-ngidul ke mana-mana, kalau memang ada percintaan lain itu hanya soal cinta Harasen ke Sajou doang. Tetapi, "Sora to Hara" justru memasukkan masalah cinta-cinta lain, terutama soal cinta masa lalu kedua tokoh utama. Pertama soal Harasen dan Sajou, dilanjutkan soal Sorano dan Fujino (temen SMP-nya), lalu Harasen dan Arisaka-Sensei (kalau kalian masih ingat, beliau sempat muncul waktu bagian flashback semasa SMA Harasen di serial "Doukyuusei-Sotsugyousei"), kemudian Arisaka-Sensei dan Hibiki, dan sekilas soal Kuma-chan (bener gak sih namanya? Itu loh, temen di gay bar yang biasa didatengin Harasen) dan Harasen versi muda *ciyeeeh.
Dan karena kebanyakan cerita cinta sampingan inilah, saya gak bisa gak merasa kalau kisah pasangan utama Harasen dan Sorano malah tersisihkan. Mau gak mau saya jadi merasa tempo hubungan percintaan mereka berdua itu terlalu terburu-buru (makanya saya bilang di poin 1 bahwa manga ini pace-nya gak selambat dua seri sebelumnya).
3. Atmosfernya cenderung lebih suram dibanding dua seri awal. Sementara selama dua seri awal, atmosfernya cenderung manis-manis-kiyut-kyaaaan, "Sora to Hara" cenderung berbeda. Ini mungkin dipicu pengarang yang kebanyakan mengangkat cinta masa lalu. Masalahnya, kedua tokoh utama kita ini sama-sama terjebak dalam cinta masa lalu masing-masing (dan sampai akhir pun masih belum dipaparkan secara terang oleh pengarang bahwa kedua tokoh utama kita berhasil move on, well Sorano sih sepertinya udah). Sepanjang cerita komik ini, pembaca disuguhi cinta-lama-yang-berusaha-disemikan-kembali-namun-tetap-tidak-berhasil-bersemi-kembali. Semacam itulah. Makanya, suasananya lebih muram dibanding "Dou-Sotsu" <-- makin lama si Gie makin males nyebutin judulnya secara lengkap :"v Apalagi Harasen tipe pria dewasa yang sok cool dan gak mau bergantung pada orang lain dan Sorano pun tipe pemuda yang bersikap lebih dewasa dibanding usia dia sebenarnya dan hobi memendam masalahnya sendiri. Makanya makin suram deh :"(
Ketiga poin di atas--meski cuma tiga--memberi pengaruh yang besar terhadap cerita. Saya baca-baca, banyak pembaca yang merasa "kurang" akan kisah-kisah manis dalam hubungan percintaan Harasen dan Sorano, yah saya juga. Saya kepengen ngeliat mereka berdua romantis-romantisan kayak Kusakabe dan Sajou :"( Kurang puaaaaaas kalau cuma segini, Nakamura-Senseiii ;______; Saya harap di O.B nanti bakal ada cerita Hara-Sora yang memuaskan keinginan saya ;_____;
Terus, teruuuus... mungkin ini bakal spoiler, jadi mohon berhenti baca bagi yang gak pengen xDD
Bab 1 itu menceritakan pertemuan Hara dan Sora, di sebuah gay bar. Sora itu badannya tinggi banget, makanya sering disangka udah 20 tahunan. Tapi wajahnya sangaaaaaaaat cute~~~ <333 Poin penting di bab ini adalah bahwa Sorano berhasil menyadari (saya suka, pengarangnya berhasil membuat pembaca tau kalau Sorano adalah cowok dengan insting yang tajam) bahwa Harasen itu mencintai Sajou, hanya dalam sekali pertemuan di sekolah. Hebat, Sorano, tapi entah kenapa pedih juga saya liatnya |||orz
Bab 2 si Sorano malah ngebantuin Harasen kencan dengan Sajou. Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh... napanapanapaaaaa!!!?? Sorano, napa dikau malah nyakitin diri sendiri dengan nyusun kencan orang yang dikau sukaiiiiin!!!??
Di bab ini, saya sempet ngakak ngeliat aksi Kusakabe ngebuntutin Sajou sepanjang kencannya dengan Harasen. God, Kusakabeeeeee, ngapain dikau masih pake kacamata item di dalem bioskooooppp??? Dodol banget, sumpaaaaah!!! Dia sebenernya gak rela Sajou kencan sama Sensei, tapi tetep diizinin, ending-nya malah dia ngambek sendiri. Dodol abis nih cowok xDD
Bab 3 giliran cinta masa lalu Sorano yang muncul. Saya nangis di bab ini. Siyalan, Sorano. Karakter Sorano yang dewasa tergali banget di bab ini. Saya jadi merasa kalau Harasen lebih kekanakan dibanding Sorano. Saya jatuh cinta sama Sorano di bab ini. Dan saya rasa Harasen pun demikian. Saya suka adegan Harasen nepuk-nepuk kepala Sorano dan Sorano nangis sambil memunggungi Harasen. Sangat lembut atmosfernya.
Bab 4... saya memang mengantisipasi kemunculan Sajou dan cinta masa SMP Sorano di dalam buku ini, tapi saya sama sekali gak nyangka bahwa cinta masa lalu yang lebih jauh juga ikut muncul: Arisaka-Sensei, guru Harasen semasa Harasen SMA. Orang yang secara tidak langsung membuat Harasen jatuh cinta pada Sajou karena Sajou begitu mirip dengan Arisaka-Sensei, dengan kata lain: inti dari cinta Harasen selama ini.
Di bab ini, Harasen jelas-jelas jadi mengabaikan Sorano karena pikirannya dipenuhi Arisaka-Sensei. Saya kesian sama Sorano. Haaaaah... tapi tetep aja, Sorano-lah yang ngejemput Harasen yang mabok dan membawanya ke rumahnya, sampai ngeberesin rumahnya segalaaaaa!!! Aaaaaawwww, Soranoooo, dikau cowok yang perhatian banget ;w;
Dan saya suka adegan samar-samar (karena cuma diperlihatkan sepotong), Sorano mencium Harasen waktu dia tidur >_____< Rasanya nyelekit-nyelekit gitu, siyalan Soranoooo, berbahagialaaaaah ;_____; Dan saya suka adegan mimpi Harasen yang dia jadi SMA lagi dan naik sepeda bareng Sorano ;______; Aw, feeeeeeelsssss ;_______;
Bab 5 penyelesaian masalah Harasen dan Arisaka-Sensei. Sekaligus penyelesaian Arisaka-Sensei dan Hibiki. Saya suka Sorano yang penuh emosi bilang kalau Harasen berhak marah, Harasen berhak mendapatkan kebahagiaannya sendiri dan gak melulu merelakan orang yang dicintainya. Saya suka gimana Sorano-lah yang meledak-ledak sampai-sampai Harasen kaget sendiri dan minta maaf tanpa sadar xDD
Dan, God, saya gak bisa gak nangis sewaktu Harasen mencium Sorano untuk membuatnya tenang dan berenti nangis (dia nangis demi Harasen, btw). Habis itu, TEPAT setelah adegan sangat-sangat-sangat romantis di mana Sorano bilang dia mencintai Harasen (dan senyum Sorano waktu ituuuuu!!! Senyumnyaaaaa....!!!), dimulailah adegan super begok!
Harasen nyium dengan posisi nindihin Sorano (gak, gak ada feels mesum di sini, sama sekali gak ada, jangan berpikiran aneh-aneh dan merusak suasana cerita, kalian), terus Sorano gak mau kalah dan berguling supaya posisinya di atas nyium Harasen, terus Harasen ogah kalah sama yang lebih muda dan berguling ke atas Sorano lagi buat nyium. Saya NGAKAK gila-gilaan di bagian ini! DASAR STUPID COUPLE!!!! Ahahahaha!!! Ngapain dua cowok guling-gulingan di pantai sampe gak sadar nyebur ke laut??? Begoooook ahahahahahaha!!! Gilak dasar xDD Bener-bener adegan yang maniiiiiis banget bagi saya!!! Akhirnya, atmosfer manis-manis-kiyut-kyaan yang membanjiri "Dou-Sou", muncul juga di komik ini~~~~!!! Lamaaaaaaa!!! Leleeeeeeet!!! Ah, munculin sejak awal kek! Ini super cute saya sampe bahagia sendiri cuman gara-gara liatin dua cowok begok guling-guling di pantai berpasir di musim dingin, oh God, saya kira ada yang salah dengan kepala saya!!! xDD
Setelah itu, suasana kembali romantis, Sorano bilang kalau dia akan membahagiakan Harasen (syit! Jadi sebenernya yang seme itu Sorano?? #gak) lalu dia lanjut bilang ngajak Harasen untuk mencari kebahagiaan bersama-sama.
Sumpah, saya... ekspresi Harasen saat itu... ekspresi Sorano saat itu... aaaaaaah feeeeeeelssss ;______; Saya nangis bahagia ;_______;
Dan cerita diakhiri dengan halaman exam sambung Harasen dan Sorano jalan gandengan tangan menyusuri pantai itu. Adegan penutup yang membuat saya terpaku beberapa saat antara percaya dan gak percaya, "Hah? Udah tamat?". Perasaan saya saat itu antara terpuaskan sekaligus gak terpuaskan ;____; Sebagai sebuah akhir, itu udah cukup, tapi pertengahannya justru berasa bolong--kurang digali.
Kesimpulan(?): Kalau nanti saya sudah keluar dari masa pertapaan tabungan ini, saya bakal ngeborong manga Anda, Nakamura-Sensei!!! Damn, I want to--have to--buy these all series. Take my money, Sensei, you deserve it for those all cute heart-warming couples!!!!

Sorano es un sol y Hara es un personaje curioso. Su relación está tratada con tanto cariño y delicadeza que no se ve nada malo en ello, pero no puedo estar de acuerdo con la pareja del final y, sobre todo, con el personaje de Arisaka por mucha pena que de. Esa historia de ha cargado todo el encanto.
A ver, puedo entender un poco que un hombre adulto sienta cariño y aprecio por un adolescente como Sorano (dentro de un manga por lo menos), pero al final del tomo me estás diciendo que Hara, cuando era alumno, tuvo una relación con un profesor, este rompió con él y el tío vuelve estando enamorado de otro alumno en plan relación imposible porque los padres del chaval le dan de hostias y quieren denunciarlo. Preguntan a base de gritos (y con razón) cómo pueden permitir que de clases. Y este personaje nos transmite pena porque se casó, tuvo una hija y al final confesó que era gay y su hija y exmujer no le hablan.
Mira... tú no eres gay. Tú eres un depredador sexual que se ha liado con 2 de sus alumnos (eso solo los que conocemos) menores de edad siendo profesor. Es que no me lo creo, y me ha reventado que romanticen eso poniendo que los alumnos también estuvieron y están enamorados de él. Me ha indignado.
La relación de Hara y Sorano muy bonita e idílica, vale... pero sigue siendo algo muy turbio lo de la última pareja. Además, Hara tampoco me convence. Estuvo enamorado de Sajo (otro de sus alumnos) y también le tiró los tejos.
Estas relaciones profesor/alumno no me convencen. Habría que mirarlo detrás de la cortina rosa, a ver qué tal.

I'll talk about the big issue first: the teacher / student age gap romance/s. Part of me feels like if this was real, I'd have more issues, but for a fictional story I can't deny I enjoyed it, and it could have also gone worse / been more problematic. The leads are engaging and we've alreayd spent time with Hara-sen in other volumes, plus the artwork is unique, so overall it's an easy read to fall into.
The theme I liked that felt more universal rather than tagged onto the above problems, was multiple characters moving on from past romantic failures *before* paving a way forward. And they each did it differently, which was nice; no one path is correct, or even found, for everyone. Another theme was the characters admiting their feelings or true alignments. Does not always work out, but it is good to release and not hold things in.
I can't really recommend this, but I am glad I read this for myself.

I honestly didn't remember a lot about this volume, except that I liked it back in the day. I still do, and I found it interesting to get a glimpse into Hara sensei's thoughts and life before he became a teacher. Also that last part was so cute, I wish it had been longer!
(I'm rolling my eyes at all the one star reviews - no offence, guys, but you had 3 volumes to suss out Hara's preferences, so why read this volume focused on him if you don't like him??? smh)

2.75 en realidad
Esto fue muy meh. Me enganchó, pero sigue siendo meh.
Me gustó que me dieran una continuación de qué pasó después de la graduación de Kusakabe y Sajou, se aclaró un poco más sobre la vida de Harasen, pero, todo el desarrollo de la pareja principal es prácticamente nulo.
En todo el manga, Harasen se la pasa dudando entre su crush por Sajou, lo que siente por su primer amor actualmente (su ex-profesor) y nunca vemos un verdadero amor o desarrollo romántico hacia Sorano, al menos en Sorano sí se vió más marcada esa preocupación y negación, pero en Hara... parece que solamente aceptó al primer chico que se enamoró de él y ahí se estancó... debo decir que estoy algo decepcionada en esto.
Y también la cita de Hara con Sajou fue muy ???, conociendo a Kusakabe y Sajou, no parecía que Kusakabe hubiera consentido una cita de su prometido con un pretendiente, y tampoco parecía muy de Sajou que agarrara un día libre de Kusakabe para estar con Hara en lugar de su prometido (a pesar de que Kusakabe y Sajou terminaron haciendo el amor en un hotel al final del día), simplemente no concuerda, en dos volúmenes atrás, Kusakabe se puso celoso de que Sajou usara los guantes que Harasen le regaló y le pidió de favor que no los usara, y Sajou accedió, ¿y luego me salen con que una cita y todo chill? Por favor.
Después de haber visto una historia tan linda y un desarrollo apresurado pero lindo de como Kusakabe y Sajou se enamoraron pasan a ponerme esta pareja que tiene un desarrollo prácticamente nulo y no se ve el amor, la verdad fue un poco decepcionante.
Con todo y todo, Nakamura sabe cómo enganchar y el ver a personajes viejos y la incorporación de unos nuevos hicieron que no me saltara esto, creo que hubiera podido prescindir de esta historia, pero veamos qué depara el siguiente volumen.

I felt very uncomfortable reading this. Though I love the art style, the previous volumes following Sajou and Kusakabe, and the movie adaptation of the first volume, this was not the move. I read this for Sajou and Kusakabe’s parts, which wasn’t much, but I needed to read this volume for the next one for context purposes. That did not make this volume anymore enjoyable however.
I could not get past the blatant pedophilia. Hara-sensei, a 37 year old teacher, kissed Sajou when he was 16/17- that alone creeped me out and made me dislike him, obviously. But, now we know it wasn’t an isolated incident, since Hara seems to only fall for teenage boys… this time a 15 year old freshman named Sora.
There’s also a second set of characters we follow with the exact same dynamic, so just in case you tried to overlook the first pairing, there’s a second one to cement it!
My question is… why? Why did the author think this was a good idea? She could have decided/written ANY story she wanted, and she chose this? Why couldn’t Hara and the other teacher fall in love, and Sora and Hikibi? Out of all the possibilities on the planet, it’s a pedo love story. Who is this even for? Pedos is my guess.
Yeah so… just delete this volume and pretend it never happened please, so I can still say I enjoy this series?

Not convinced. I'm sure Harasen deserved some kind of happy ending, but in my mind that was one redeeming him from his perviness. Not one where he ends up with a 15 year old student. This story did feel like it gave some nice insight into his character outside of his perviness, but it also really highlighted what a sad middle-aged man he is, which even though I did want him to be somewhat redeemed is interesting in its own way, I guess. BUT IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT. Showing what a sad middle aged man he is and then finding a 15 year old to fix him doesn't really make for a cute story, no matter how many times you show him resisting the 15 year old and the 15 year old being the flirty and insistent one.

Nah wtf
The first Classmates trilogy is so cute and has such great characters and depth. The teacher has always been sus but this is.... Beyond.
A 37 year old ending up with a 15 year old AND HE IS HIS TEACHER AT AN ALL BOY'S HIGH SCHOOL.
It's so incredibly wrong. Not only does the manga highlight that it is wrong but it also enforces that if you love the young boy, go after him anyways. Especially with the one teacher who groomed Hara when he was 15 now going after a new 15 year old when it's been 12 more years. It's so gross.
And then the end is trying to brush it off as something they can get over? It's really making these types of relationships seem romantic and encourages them. No.

Нарочно дадох всичко от себе си да не прочета тази книжка вчера, защото сега тя не само се превръща в #2500, но и в част от традицията "Започни годината с манга/новела" :D
Изключително "за" бях относно идеята "Да направим Хара-сенсей хепи", за което става дума в този том. Конкретните избори на авторката не са точно тези, които бих взела аз (връзката не е много моята, въпреки че подкрепям някои от заложените идеи). Героят си е неин обаче, тя си го познава най-добре :D За мен е чаровен, одухотворен, магнетичен, забавен... и, да, традиционен японски депресар, ако мога да се изкажа така. "Добро момче" като етикет ще му пасне много добре, нищо, че всячески прави така, че това да не си личи често. Не съм докрай убедена, че има някакви шансове за "хепи", понеже защитните му стени сигурно са високи до безкрая и отвъд, но може би просто защото не останах убедена в това доколко инатлия в името на успеха ще се окаже Сора.

me fascina el dibujo y tal pero no aguanto al profe Hara dios que asco da.
En plan el tío pasa de hacerle grooming a Sajou desde que tiene 15 años hasta que se gradúa (supongo que será 18) y cuando por fin Sajou se consigue su novio y que están FELUZMENTE en una relación SANA Y QUE LOS DOS TIENEN LA MISMA EDAD viene el profe de mierda y pedir citas con el 💀💀💀 y más tarde como se le fue el niño menor al que follarse entra Sorano de 15 PUTOS AÑOS a literalmente resolverle la puta vida a un adulto de 37 tacos es alucinante de verdad y lo peor es que terminan juntos 💀💀💀
lo más valió la pena fueron las paginas de hikaru y sajou juntos

De verdad Asumiko Nakamura me ha sorprendido, tiene mucho que no devoro una saga en cuestión de días.
Si bien ‘Sorano y Hara’ no tiene ese allure que existe en la historia de Sajou y Kusakabe en ‘En la misma clase’, es un spin-off muy bueno, y las partes donde se habla del ambiente gay en Japón en contraste con su fuerte heteronorma, resulta muy interesante.
Y aunque Hara es puesto como un “rival” entre Sajou y Kusakabe en ‘En la misma clase’, su evolución en libros futuros resulta buena. Vaya, que si lo terminé queriendo, es porque la construcción del personaje supo llegarme.

Wieder sehr schön gezeichnet. Gehört zu der Reihe Sotsugyosei und Doukyusei. Hierbei dreht es sich allerdings um den Lehrer aus den beiden Teilen - in denen es übrigens schon um den Agegap ging.
Diesmal ist dieser auch über 15 Jahre und mit einem Schüler ;D Wer da also seine Trigger-Attacken kriegt sollte einfach diese Mangas nicht lesen und woanders leise heulen gehen. Vorallem, wenn der 15jährige SChüler fröhlich von alleine in Schwulenbars reinlatscht *shrug*
Ich hoffe, dass es noch einen Teil mit Hibiki und seinem Lehrer geben wird, deren Charakterdesign fand ich nämlich auch super.

Se me han abierto las carnes con este tomo😭😭 lo he amado!
Sé que este tipo de historias profesor-alumno no gustan a todo el mundo pero... Chico que quieres que te diga, a mí me pirran.
Mi sueño era tener un romance con un profe (jamás pasó)
Además suelo tener cero problema con la diferencia de edad... Estaré enferma 🤣 pero yo digo sí a todo!

El diseño de los personajes me tiene atrapada.
Es verdad que hay que tener en cuenta que hay una diferencia de edad muuuuy grande y que bueno *cof cof* menores.
Pero creo que está más o menos bien tratado así que ni tan mal.
