Honestly, I can't even remember what manga list recommended me all of these short series to read. But I'm kind of over it now. I think the conclusion for now is that I'd much rather be invested in one longer manga for a long period of time rather than a short one and take the chance that it's not my cup of tea you know?
{Spoilers, except it's 7 chapters and a wild ride}
It was hard to get a read for a lot of these characters. Maybe it's because I've been sleep-deprived and running on lots of caffeine because I only get motivated for like 5% of the day. Maybe it's because the manga was written purposefully nuanced. Maybe it's because I just couldn't relate to the characters. In any case, I thought the whole concept was pretty wack. There's this high school guy that kinda randomly becomes interested in this girl that so happens to be the world's lowkey worst teacher. Why did this lady even become a teacher? She doesn't really like teaching, she cares more about her appearance than anything else, she hates working overtime for her job. That's literally all the things that a teacher shouldn't be so I'm absolutely baffled at how she got to this point. She also acts incredibly immature for her age which is why she fits so well with the man guy I guess which is also pretty concerning considering her age gap. And the fact that they play basketball is such a random throw-in as well. They didn't even need to play basketball for the plot to work. It could've been tennis for all the sport did for the series as a whole. And the brief sort of "maybe this could work" love happenings between her and some of her fellow teachers was more just strange and "huh why is this here?" rather than anything that contributed. But this was probably due to the fact that there wasn't a whole lot of time to flesh out the characters and their motivations.
Overall, I was left pretty thoroughly confused and unsatisfied I'm sorry to report. It wasn't a very good time at all. There were too many unnecessary elements squished into too short a piece to convey a proper and fully-developed story.
