Where That Love Went

Average rating2
This is not for me. I'm not sure what made me put this on my TBR but I definitely forgot what the tags were by the time I got around to this.
There are a lot of yearly 2000s/2010s BL bullshit that I don't like. That borderline homophobic and sexist dialogue is very much there that got on my nerves. I'm always very weary when there's crossdressing in BL because it's mostly handled as a joke/misunderstanding. The dialogue surrounding Izumi crossdressing, the “but I'm not a girl" stuff I hate, and Muroto's obvious interest in him either way but hiding that behind the whole crossdressing thing doesn't sit right with me. On the student/teacher topic, that's not the focused relationship, but I honestly thought they were college professors at first and not high school teachers so the whole thing about 19/18 year olders wanting to get with this teacher is uncomfortable for me. Alongside that, one of the people involved in this love triangle is one of the 19/18 year old students...
The last book by this author was a bit of a struggle to get through, too, but I was able to bounce back from that. I don't think I can take any more of this one. I also don't think I'm going to continue reading from Emi Mitsuki so I'm dropping the other 3 manga I had planned from her as well. Knowing how this story's going to be, maybe I'll come back to it if it stays in my head long enough. But, for now, I'm dropping it.
