This is actually the second time I've read this particular one shot. Shocking, isn't it? It seemed really familiar, but it wasn't until later that I realized it was the exact same one =_=. Well It was good just for memory's sake I suppose.
{Spoilers}
Keep in mind this is ancient, from at least 8 years ago. But it's funny how some things are just so universal; this universality may or may not be the reason I couldn't recognize that I knew it before hehe. It starts off with Rei lamenting about how she didn't have a boyfriend, bumping into Yuuya who consequentially takes a picture of her with her dress caught on her book. Classic panty flash I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways, their relationship starts to develop as they continue to meet every day at lunch. This changes when Rei sees Yuuya in the junior high division which made her think that Yuuya was a junior high student. (This was around the time that I realized that I had already read this but *shrug*) That would be super scary if that were true since Yuuya is often drawn smoking cigarettes, very scary indeed. Rei, once hearing that Yuuya doesn't like older women, immediately jumps to the conclusion that he's been playing with her this entire time. In actuality it is true he doesn't like older women because PLOT TWIST he's actually a junior high division teacher that's been in love with her for 5 years ever since he was a third year high school student and she was a first year junior high division. To be honest this part was a little creepy. Like what could he have liked about her without really knowing anything about her?
But all logic aside, this was a nice little one shot. A nice plot twist thrown in there. A resolved unrequited love. Quite nice for a short read-through. Man, oh man are one shots satisfying; not as satisfying as perhaps a completed manga you've followed for a while "but still good, yeah--still good" (Stitch from Lilo & Stitch (yes I did just quote that)). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
