唇にキミの色 1 Kuchibiru Ni Kimi No Iro 1 by 岩下慶子, Keiko Iwashita

3.0

I picked this up because I usually like this authors work but...this story is just a mess. The story goes way too fast, and the main characters become a couple way too fast. Like, it's shockingly fast, and their language about being together forever is a bit wild. Also, too much is excused way too easily?!
Spoiler She's confronted by the teacher who assaulted her (and yes, grabbing your student so they can't move away and kissing them is assault) who started begging for forgiveness and she just...accepts his apology?! She's been harassed and ostracized by her entire class because of the teacher's lie that SHE kissed HIM, and she just...forgives him because "I didn't want to disappoint his son"?! Hello?? I really disliked how this huge plot point is just moved on from so fast. Also, what is with the parents? The couple has only been dating for a short time but the parents of both of them act like they're engaged. It's very weird.
I'm just not liking this story too much. The writing and pacing is a mess, the only thing going for it is the art.
