"Don't tell the other teachers okay?"
Been reading the manga School Back by Onodera Kokoro. I've completely fallen in love with Fushimi.
It's a really empathetic story about the struggles of young adult life in a way that doesn't feel patronizing or saccharine. Like the best stories about a cool adult helping out kids with their problems, it understands that life is a process. The school janitor isn't going to solve your family troubles or your fears for the future, but maybe she can make it a bit more bearable with a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on. It's honestly the kind of the story I think my soul has needed for a bit now.
Also the part where she's like 6ft tall and wears that messy ponytail in a really hot way.
