It was a pleasant surprise for me. Maybe because I’m getting older or just tired of seeing so many angry comments toward this manga and its main character, I wanted to show the author a bit of support. Even if it's just this review. I think people should give it a chance. The story follows a man in his 40s, which is a rare and welcome change. He saved a group of young monster girls 10 years ago, and now they’ve reappeared as his students and some of them are clearly interested in him romantically. Understandably, this age gap can be disturbing, and I completely get whyit puts people off. But the manga doesn’t ignore it. The MC himself openly says that their affection might be temporary, and he believes they’ll eventually find someone closer to their age. That kind of mature perspective is uncommon in harem/romance manga and gives me hope for how the story could evolve.

Each girl has her own personality and charm, and I hope they’ll be explored further. The artwork is quite good, and although the story doesn’t always avoid the usual harem tropes, it has a certain vibe — a unique tone — that feels different from other series in the genre. It manages to be funny, a little touching, and sometimes quite reflective.

What sets this apart is the MC himself. He’s not a typical upbeat hero on a chill adventure. He’s a retired broken magician who clearly went through — and maybe did — some terrible things. He’s emotionally withdrawn, living day by day without ambition or care. It’s not just a “yes man guy surrounded by girls” trope. It feels like a man shaped by trauma. Possibly PTSD. And not the exaggerated version — but the quiet, tired, numb kind. I really want to know what happened between the time he saved those girls and now. The flashbacks show a different person, even after the rescue. How did he end up as a bottom-tier teacher at an elite school, trying to stay invisible?

I sincerely hope we’ll get more of his past, more character development, and that he continues to push back on the romantic advances of his students — not just for morality, but because that restraint could lead to some real emotional depth. His dynamic with the students already feels more like mutual healing than pure fanservice, and that’s something I’d love to see explored further.

It’s not a perfect manga. It has its flaws. But it has something special — a tone, a feeling — that kept me reading. I’m genuinely curious to see where it goes next.
