>baseless rant of a blabbering idiot with little cohesive thought process and a clear proneness to whining about everything that isn't catered to his preferences and that his personal (mis)perceptions aren't shared.
Wow what a shitpost, KoJ is what I call a perfect romcom manga, with interesting well-explored believable characters who all have their vices as well as good sides, who have been very well written, developed and played out in their respective subplots, yes I did find myself slightly less invested in those compared to the Rin's story, but it's all very well connects and results in a very satisfactory climax where love wins. Mimi and Rin got to fuck the guys they were head over heels for for the longest time, the guys themselves came around and wholeheartedly embraced them and found happiness, Shirai sensei lost her virginity, married and finally opened up (i thought her arc was very charming), Houin sensei got cucked and discarded as a used roastie she is, I've rarely had such a warm experience after finishing a fictional work. I don't really get what your complaints are, you just go off crying "why ain't it like i wanted it to be" and in the end not saying anything of value.
>Reiji was an absolute scumbag.
He was a decent young man, hard working and earnest to the bone, who got in a precarious position of being in the shoes of a single father(or rather child guardian) at 20 years old, yes he wasn't perfect for the job, he was immature, self imposing and cocky, but that what made him such a good character, and that's not like he was self unaware or anything, he's a good a guy in heart and proved himself to be in his arc.
>I wonder if the author was even aware
that you and your opinion exist? well forgive her for such a transgression
>he is responsible the mess Rin grew up into by doing what can only be described as grooming
Your problem is that your fried westernized brain has the word "grooming" in it and all its accompanying prejudices.
The mess she grew up in was due to certain extenuating circumstances (don't know if you caught up on them), like Aoki summarized: Rin and Reiji are just two kids living under the safe roof, one's younger the other's older, until a certain time period they were like brother and sister. Taking baths and sleeping together, this isn't that uncharacteristic for siblings, mind you. As the time passed, naturally, the "sister" began to develop and Reiji started seeing her as a woman and had plans of putting her under the wedlock when she came of age, which is of course fucked up and the story addresses it, Reiji gets self-concious of such selfishness and reprimands himself, granted thanks to Aoki pointing it out, but teachers do have to show children the way. I get that lack of care for personal circumstances and feelings led you to the conclusion you made, but I think you'd been reading the story inattentively. And I think you're forgetting how Rin was low-key a nasty little bitch too: threatening to press charges against Aoki for alleged sexual harassment; almost knocking him off the stairs; deliberately driving off Reiji's female coworker that wanted to hit on him out of vain jealousy, when she knew he desperately needed a woman. And these dubious actions didn't take away from her being such a good girl.
>He didn't deserve to end up with Mimi-chan
She is de-facto the perfect mommy-wife for him, with big tits and caring personality who also looks like Rin's mom, body-wise at least.
>time skip
This served as an epilogue to a settled story, a conclusion to a conclusion so to say, maybe if you were educated you'd knew what that is. The finishing chapter was a traditional graduation ceremony, where everything comes together and our characters part. Emotional and heart-wrenching, skillfully crafted narrative imo. The best part is the last page, where Aoki finally, gets in grips with his feelings and returns Kokonoe's forceful kiss, which before had been only one sided.
So concerning the "how didn't they talk in all those years", well they didn't because Watashiya decided so, she wanted to make a cute reunion scene, show how the heroes grew, I'm sorry it didn't click with you, there's no argument to draw from it on either side, you're only whining, as I said.
>so they can attain by age of consent
You could use attaining some English prowess, my dear ESL. No, it's simply a narrative technique, you could very fairly call it a cliché, but do not affix your stupid reasons like that, it was a miracle that the series got greenlit in the first place, why do you think author would be concerned with age of consent in the fictional world when she already wrote, well, *everything else*. And besides Aoki accepted Rin's love before the time skip, sex wasn't the real climax, the kiss was.
> it ended the only way you'd expect it to end
>it just fucking ends there.
And why are you disappointed with what was expected? thought cohesion, bro work on it. It's hard to counter your "points" because not only do you not expand on them but contradict them and make them unclear af. From what little I understand of what your actual gripe with the ending is, It seems to be some ill-founded grumble of someone who's not spiritually mature, genuinely no offense here.
>I have so many nitpicks
Glad you call your opinion nitpicking because it's what it is, not a fair judgement by a mile. You see you can get self aware too, contrary to my expectation.
>It's just fucking boring and about 40% of it focuses on the female teachers who are just mind-numbingly inane characters.
I had a different experience with that, the side characters were a good addition to a very solid main plot, except for those characters that the plot meant to present in the light less than favorable (Houin and Rin's old teach). But I expressed my thoughts on this way above.
>author's fetish
why are you spouting some unrelated bullshit? The entire thing was conceived because of a fetish, now what?
>What are your thoughts?
So glad you asked, my friend.
