Sensei (Kari) no Oshigoto was published digitally in english as A (Student) Teacher’s Job by Renta!, and as The Job of a (Temporary) Teacher by MediBang/Julian Publishing. Author & Artist: Aomaru Nana.
As it’s a collection of 4 BL stories, I’ll be reviewing them separately.
Theme they all follow: submissiveness. Each story has at least one guy who’s submissive.
Chapter 1-2: Sensei (Kari) no Oshigoto (センセー(仮)のお仕事, The Job of a (Temporary) Teacher)
Awful. Toxic. Physical and emotional abuse.
Especially chapter 2 deserves 0 stars. I was hoping for Takuma to fight or ague against him, but nope. Just ends on a note where I hope Takuma makes it out alive, but from what is teased, he’ll likely, sadly, get abused many more years.
Rating: 0.5 stars
Chapter 3: Zettai-teki Gohoushi Kankei (ゼッタイ的ご奉仕カンケイ, A Relationship of Absolute Service / A completely submissive relationship)
Very cute actually. The more dominant one was the sub/bottom, and the shy/unsure/romantic one was the dom/top here.
Very contrasting to the first story. I really wish these two stories could’ve been published separately, because I want to give this a high rating, which unfortunately isn’t possible with the 0 stars I gave the other story. (I’m totally gonna list it separately in my 2024 list, though! Ha, take that, author.)
Rating: 4 stars
Chapter 4: Junai Kareshi to Fujun na Ore (純愛彼氏と不純なおれ, Pure Loving Boyfriend and Impure Me)
Well, that was sweet, but also very fast-paced. Though maybe it’s actually realistic? I’ve no idea, I just found it a bit too quick. But there was consent and it was actually kinda romantic, I especially loved the first half (before the act), so that’s nice. Masato was another non-toxic top/dom, which, again, is so contrasting to the first story.
Rating: 3.5 stars
Chapter 5: Shinyuu ga Ore e no Ai wo Kojiraseteiru n da ga (親友が俺への愛をこじらせているんだが。, My Best Friend is Complicating My Love Life)
A dense, big, buff karate boy and his best friend, who doesn’t know how to tell him.
I really like how Ryusei was constantly dense, but he had his “intelligent“ moments. When Kyosuke, his best friend, was being dominant, Ryusei first reaction was always shock, but then he becomes very sweet and romantic. Loved that.
But wow, they actually did it in a classroom. And didn’t even bother to go hide in a closet or behind the door or something.
Again, so contrasting to the first story. Even though this too had a jealousy trope, it was actually sweet.
Rating: 4 stars
Chapter 6:
A bonus chapter for each story (with a few pages for each).
-c1-2: still in a toxic relationship, nothing changed.
-c3. The shirt looks good though.
-c4: what an angel, indeed. I do wonder whether his band mates were telling the truth tho?
-c5: oh my god, lmao. I do sincerely hope he was joking lol.

HOW did the author decide they want to publish these 3 sweet stories with that incredibly toxic first story???? Or did they just not want a bad rating? -.-
