Ugh...This made me feel sorry for both of them. I feel sorry for Tsukigase bc of how strongly she feels for him - she might think she has to strike while the iron is hot bc he might not be available if she waits. I also feel sorry for Usui bc he probably wants to keep a good reputation while trying to control the undoubtable attraction to her, and on that note, he probably wants to keep his job.
I've no stats on its "in real life" occurrences, but I submit the teacher-student encounter (irrespective of gender) as depicted here is a dangerous situation to get into; more for the teacher than the student, and for reasons I probably don't need to spell out in detail. And I'm thinking 99 percent of the time, if the encounter is discovered (so-to-say, "by the wrong people"), the teacher will bear the brunt of the (mostly negative) consequences that would follow (again, no need to elaborate). Yet perhaps because of its 'forbidden' appeal, it shows up often enough in stories, and will likely keep showing up.
I've never been fond of the male-teacher/female-student
trope, because I find it difficult to identify with the teacher,
probably because of the extreme power imbalance.
There are a few exceptions, such as ▲ Chimaki's After School, and Yamada Yuuya's Being in Love,
which I like because they're lighthearted chapters.
I prefer the male-student/female-teacher trope, because
it's easier to identify with the male student(s) (unless rape,
drugs, or blackmail are involved).
I'm very fond of the shota/female-home-tutor
trope, and I love the school infirmary scenario,
in which a lusty nurse runs a secret sex-club
out of her office.
And shout out to the wingman Momoka!
Page 4, and in every page she's in, Tsukigase's design truly is a gorgeous work of art.
