Sensei Lock-On! 2nd - Vol. 2 Ch. 24

[Eliminateur]

a modicum of densedness is ok, but the author is dragging the stupidity for too long and it's just silly.

Hey, you beautiful people. The teacher-student relationship in Japan is one of the few things you don't want to see in your life. The teacher would get reprimed by the system and would not be able to find a job as an educator in any place. Just the fact that she omitted that Yamato and she are in a relationship while he was working under her as an assistant teacher would be punishable. Generally, teacher couples are prohibited from lecturing in the same school or prefecture.

In response to what @NeroPR said, the whole thing about co-workers not dating is an unwritten rule everywhere in Japan. Rather, it's more of a don't ask, don't tell situation. Keep it to yourselves, don't give any indication of it at work, even making sure you arrive separately and interact with each other at work as minimally required. Basically, no one can know until you get married, in which case one person will just be transferred. PDAs make people especially uncomfortable in Japan and if there is a break-up that makes thing basically more unbearable and embarrassing for everyone in the workplace.

The reasons these situations tend to show up in manga is because honestly, how many mangaka lived the salaryman/OL life and had that personal experience to know it doesn't go that way in real-life? Not many mangaka have lived the lifestyles they portray in their works (aside from a few like a certain bony bookseller). Probably why manga about making manga does so well, the mangaka have that real experience.

I've realized I'm starting to go off on a major tangent at this point. So I'll just end here.

(Feel free to correct me on anything I may be wrong about, I don't claim to know everything.)

The author is a dickhead for dragging this shit on

What just about everyone seems to forget here is that she doesn't need to say WHOM she's dating. Just that she IS dating. That's it.

Also, @KraZTaco

The new guy only just made his intentions clear (everything before this was easy to misinterpret)

Lol, no. He LITERALLY told his sister they're dating. You can spin it into "he was pranking her", but that's not "easy to misinterpret".
