Has anyone read the manga & care to share if Kotori & sensei are likely to develop any sort of romance? |

Seems like it might be heading in that direction, but for right now it's just unrequited feelings from Kotori. I don't think Inuzuka-sensei even realizes. The manga keeps moving through the school years, though. Tsumugi just started school and Kotori moved up a grade. I have a feeling she will confess sometime around graduation. Also, Shinobu and Yagi tend to randomly show up together a lot. No real indication of anything happening there, though. |

Earlier in the series it seemed like Yagi made a comment indicated Inuzuka-sensei may be a bit dense. Because he said something along the lines of "I guess I'm doing this again". |

Will this turn into anything? At this time it's unknown. I just see it as a high school student's crush on a teacher who cares about this students. He just happens to spend time with one in particular. |

Kotori has a very big crush on sensei and kind of both them. She admits on the school trip as much and even saying it is more than that kind of with her feelings for both of them. Basically she imagines of if they could be a proper family and not just crushing on him. Sensei has no clue though and keeps a certain distance when not in the restaurant so no inappropriate rumors get started and acts as they only know each other as student and teacher. Kotori has also gotten embarrassed/jealous before when one her friends joking said they liked him and then jealous again when other parents were gossiping that maybe there was something between him and her mom. Her friend Shinobu knows about her crush and tries play wing man setting up things for them to do together if someone is getting in the middle unintentional usually his friend Yagi. She tends to physically push him out of the way so sensei and Katori ends up doing stuff with just the two of them. She also covers for Kotori when sensei almost over hears her saying indirectly she likes him by pushing him away before he can hear. Yagi sensei's friend also seems to recognize what is going on as he seems to seen it before when sensei and his wife were first getting together. This also leads to meaning a bigger chance of them maybe getting together one day. There is also a slight hint that Shinobu likes Yagi as she often seems to invite him along with things and somewhat attached often just bothering him in general. Now if this is really like or just seeing him as a comrade in arms with both knowing about sensei and Kotori can't be sure. |

Thank you for the spoilers :) watching the anime and wondered about this answer. Don't think I'll read the manga as the show is above average in terms of how I am enjoying it. I came to this board for this answer haha |

If the manga is going to get there, I think it could end up being a time skip epilogue kind of thing. Right now the sensei is nowhere near thinking of Kotori as a potential new wife. (He notices that she's cute and becoming more voluptuous as she ages, but only in passing.) He mainly gets together with her because it makes Tsumugi happy. If Kotori confesses it will just embarrass him and cause him to cut off contact with her. So one possible trajectory is she graduates without confessing and either she goes away to college or he moves away. Then after two or three years they have a chance meeting with the clear implication it will lead somewhere. Like the end of Umi ga Kikoeru. |

You're correct. Right now it's a one-way street with Kotori having affections for Kouhei. As for Kotori's mom and Kouhei, I did the math. Kotori's mom is at most 10 years older than Kouhei. Kotori, second year student = 16/17 years old. Let's say Kotori's mom did go to college. That means she would have been at least 21-22 years old when she Kotori so that makes her between 37 to 39 years old. Kouhei would be the same age as his wife. They had Tsumugi about 21-22 year of age. Tsumugi is 5-6 year old. So Kouhei would be between 26 to 28. He's right between the two women. Lucky dog. |

I find it unlikely this manga will go in some soapy mother daughter triangle direction. All the visual flags are that any future pairing is between kohei and Kotori. At almost literally every meal Kotori is occupying the vacant seat of Tsumugi's mom. |

Kotori has already basically straight out said she wants be her new mom saying that she doesn't just want him but both of them as a package. Can only hope the author will take it down that route as she is already doing a good job of playing the mom role for Tsumugi though it is more disguised as a big sister right now. She also seems like she would personally be a good match for him as a SO. Even their friends are already shipping them with the only thing blocking it is the current teacher/student roles.I'm not even sure Kotori's mom would object the idea and might already have suspicions about Kotori's feelings anyways. |

One thing I couldn't help noticing with the manga is Kotori is actually rather well developed in certain areas considering she is still a teenager. Hell just for being a girl in general she is well developed. Certainly more than you'd expect for her character type. |

sbyrstall said: Most girls are fully developed by that age. As someone else noted, Kotori is very bosomy in the manga. Much more so than in the anime. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a way of carrying yourself: a way of being. There is panel in one of the recent chapters where Kotori jumps of for some reason, and all of a sudden she looks a whole lot more like a woman than a girl. And then there's a reaction panel where Kohei notices for sure. BTW: what I mean by a soapy mother-daughter triangle is some kind of triangle between Kohei, Kotori, and Kotori's mom. I just don't see any hint of that. I still think a time skip ending makes a whole lot of sense. I realized after posting my last message on the subject that no one really needs to move away. When Kotori graduates, two things are going to happen. Kohei is going to stop encountering her unless he goes to see her, and Tsumugi will be entering her second year of school. By then, Tsumugi's focus is going transfer to school activities and school friends, and she may lose interest in going over to see Kotori. So I could see K & K drifting apart for a while. Then maybe two or three years elapse and Kohei is maybe feeling some pressure to remarry. And one day they have a chance encounter. Besides Umi ga Kikoeru, another ending a bit like that is (especially) the manga version of Kimi ga Inai Machi (where there is a similar age difference). |

Chapter 29, During the school trip she has a fight with her friend and they end up talking it out on the stairs. The subject about how Kotori doesn't like to talk about love comes up. She admits the reason is because she has someone.. some people she is interested in. She says it is more complicated than just like and doesn't want people telling her that her feelings are love what she is confused about though she does think about the idea of them being in love. Her friend tells her isn't it ok to admit she likes them and that there is nothing wrong with liking someone. I actually found it a little weird the friend she is talking to doesn't call her on saying she likes two people as Kotori avoids being specific about it being sensei and his daughter what kind of makes it sound like she is talking about multiple guys. Sensei actually almost over heard her saying this as he had come across them. Luckily Shinobo(sp) had also came out and pushes sensei away realizing what Kotori was about to say so he didn't hear it or they knowing he had been there. So ya she essentially says she wants both of them and not just sensei. |

heimdal7 said: What chapter did she say this?? I was responding to another poster "doing the math" on Kohei and Kotori's mom. Despite the speculation of some of the mothers in that one chapter, I don't think this manga is going anywhere near there. IOW, I think you and I are in agreement. |

Happened to end up on this thread and rereading it I have say in the last few chapters the author really made a point to make Kotori look more mature. First in one panel having her truly look like a young mom with Mugi then in another looking like the good wife. Then the subject matter of the chapter after that pushing the idea even farther. Over all she has really matured in how she carries herself and her personality. |

Putting my two cents in..... In CH#44, it looks like Kotori's mom and dad are getting back together, so take takes her out of the Kouhei sweepstakes. Kotori should know deep down that Kouhei still hasn't gotten over his wife's death yet, so I don't see any type of confession anytime soon. Maybe not for years. As pure conjecture, I can see her graduating college, and opening up her own restaurant, perhaps when Tsumugi is in middle school, and starts liking boys? That way, Kouhei can move on...... |
