Mika Yamamori

As much as I think this series is very well written with beautiful artwork, I absolutely cannot give this volume a good rating because of the terrible, terrible teacher/student age gap relationship here. It's a personal rule not to give a series with that type of relationship more than 3 stars no matter the quality of the story, and the way the Yamamori is presenting it here is so egregious that I would normally just abandon the series and never look back.
