I'm just driven mad that she made some many small comments about his face but they never show his face. He looks like he would be handsome, is he not???

OK hold up. You can't just draw a hard line (sex = over) with your SO and then expect them to arbitrarily cross it. That's just not right. This kind of thing has to be properly discussed.

In general, mangaka have an excellent grasp of psychology, especially female
psychology. Women love to feel wanted and desirable; they like to be pursued.
They're hard-wired for it. That's why they'll often draw an arbitrary "no-but-yes"
line in the sand. They want a man to show assertiveness---to demonstrate that
he really, really wants her---by crossing that line and sweeping her off her feet.
"This kind of thing has to be properly discussed." How progressive. Do you really
want to reduce sex to a tedious negotiation, bereft of all passion and spontaneity?

@EddieBeInBeddie:
My sexual philosophy is based on many years of study, personal experience,
and anecdotal evidence from others. It cannot be fully or properly explained
(in non-broad terms) without writing a book.
Having said that, I will leap back into the fray in order to discuss the critical
element of risk, which I believe is central to the debate surrounding the topic
of sexual consent.
I knew a woman who was "date-raped" three times in college, but she never
said a word to the campus police or the faculty. She simply took it all in stride.
Why? As she explained it to me, "There's no such thing as a date-rape that's
not liberally fueled by alcohol on both sides." In other words, as a real adult,
she took responsibility for her own lack of good judgment.
Camille Paglia once protested college curfews that applied only to female students,
by saying: "Give us the freedom to be raped." By that, she didn't mean she wanted
to be raped, of course---only that women should be allowed to live their own lives,
and accept the attendant risks.
The writer Florence King once fought off a rape attempt in college. It was a rather
violent encounter. The next door, her would-be rapist (face covered in scratches)
offered her flowers and a sincere apology. He was so contrite that King said:
"I felt so bad for him, I almost let him fuck me anyway." Basically, she simply filed
the episode away as an amusing anecdote.
When I worked as an orderly in a hospital, a crazy candy-striper took a fancy to me,
which she expressed by ambushing me every day with a hard slap on the ass---so
hard that it stung like hell and left a dark bruise on my ass. I put up with it until she
disappeared one day, and I never saw her again. On the list of Worst Things That
Ever Happened To Me, that encounter doesn't even warrant consideration. I simply
put it behind me (no pun intended).
As an older person, I am dismayed by the way the last two generations have been
infantilized. Politicians promise them cradle-to-grave care, and they're encouraged
to believe risk can be removed from every aspect of their lives, including sex.
Life is hard, but it's really hard if you're unable or unwilling to accept the risk that
accompanies personal freedom, or the consequences of your own decisions.
Modern society has forgotten what the Ancient World
knew very well---that Eros is sometimes a savage god.

Have to agree with the others, H-con. Being a little too broad there. I've had too many partners who have wanted to be pursued, wanted to lead, and just slipped into it because we were both horny.... and it was the same partner.
Spontaneity is only helped by awareness. Having had a partner's lack of awareness truly hurt me, and having friends and family be hurt by supposed 'spontaneity'... your premise is well intended, but I believe you have some unintended gaps in it.
Good improv (jazz, comedy, otherwise) is good because there are boundries; and so it is with sex. In fact, our sex lives can be the most exciting and fraught improvisation of our lives.

@Quargle:
I'm deeply flattered that you took so much time and trouble to reply to
my comment, so you deserve a courteous, thoughtful reply in return.
First, some personal historical perspective:
I'm one of the oldest members of the Fakku community. I was raised
in a different era, within a different social environment, but that does
not mean everything is necessarily "better" now. We'll get back to that.
MANGAKA AND PSYCHOLGY
I've seen enough internal evidence (in the best eromanga) to convince
me that the most dedicated mangaka study sexology, sociology, and
psychology, and that they put that knowledge to good use in their work
(often in very subtle ways). This makes sense, since mangaka also
do a lot of visual research in order to accurately draw food, fashion, flora,
fauna, and furniture, along with landscapes and cityscapes---not to men-
tion female genitalia, which they draw with such painstaking anatomical
accuracy that it looks like it was copied out of a medical textbook (which
it probably was). Why wouldn't they apply the same level of research
to the way their characters think and behave?
HARD-WIRED FOR PURSUIT
My mother once told me that, when she was a young girl, she liked to tease
the boys and make them chase her, until she got tackled and pinned down
on the grass. She found that intensely exciting, in a way she didn't fully
understand.
When I was a boy, one of the neighbor girls would punch me in the arm and
run like a deer, inviting me to chase her. She usually wound up climbing a tree,
so I'd have to go up after her, like Tarzan after Jane. She loved it. Most of the
girls enjoyed being chased by the boys, but in those days, kids actually went
outside to play together. Now, in a time of extreme social isolation, that kind
of healthy "pre-sexual horseplay" has been lost. In truth, it was lost a long
time before the pandemic.
I've addressed only a couple of points because I don't want to wind up writing
a book. Besides that, I'm only a cranky old guy from a bygone age. Let's close
this comment with a quote from an actual liberal woman:
"The idea that 'no always means no' is unsophisticated crap, and
it shouldn't be tolerated. It doesn't conform to actual human life."

Normally you are a scholar and gentleman, but this is such a bizarre and broad take it reads as sarcasm. "In general Mangaka have an excellent grasp of psychology"? Especially FEMALE psychology? Pull the other one, it's got bells on. Granted, they're a varied bunch, but if this were the case, it should be WAY easier to find really high-quality hentai manga with realistic motivations than it is.
As for the "hard-wired to be pursued" bit, citation needed. That's an old take, but one that is, at best, only anecdotally supported by sociology or biology. It's also something I take rather personally, as a man who desires to be chased who for the past ten years has been in a relationship with a woman who does the chasing. So yeah, I get the wanting to be pursued thing more than most, but locking it to women is...really comical from my perspective. Perhaps I'm being too subjective, and reading too much into your statement. If so, my apologies.
Now, the "...tedious negotiation, bereft of all passion and spontaneity" is a rather surprising argument from you. If it's really that bereft of passion, why not discuss it way ahead of time? Or find a way to make it sexy? Safe words exist, and the world would be better if more people had them. To state blithely that there's no way for something to be sexy is rather bizarre considering the wide variety of ways humans have found ways to make EVERYTHING sexy, as evidenced by this site. You're allowed to not like the idea of discussing boundaries, and I love a good discussion, but blanket statements tend to be somewhat unconvincing, and I've always found this one to be particularly uninspired.
Your typical eloquence and nuance suddenly switched to really broad general statements, which has worried me. I normally can rely on you for deep insights into works where others would only post surface-level comments. What happened, man? It's not just a disagreement on ideas, your entire posting format and argument structure changed for this one topic.

We can't be negligent about boundaries. We live in a world in which men very often overstep boundaries with women to selfishly sate their lust. It sucks and it shouldn't happen, period.
Google "when does no mean yes?"
We're also talking about a country infamous for things like chikan and I don't know about you but in the JAV I've seen, women tend to appear uncomfortable much more often than not. Because there's a cultural difference. Japanese men literally find that kind of thing appealing. My belief is that women are often not treated with respect in Japan and "no means yes" thing appearing in manga is just a side-effect of that. That doesn't make it all okay. Thankfully this is manga and nobody is getting hurt. But IRL? I absolutely believe that no always means no in a sexual context. Even more so when your SO draws a hard line.

Not gonna lie, because there's this cameo of the MC from a previous release, I thought it's momoko-sensei. Even though I've seen beforehand that it's koshino-sensei and the art is completely diffrent.

Here is further proof that "no" does not always mean "no."
