Kusanagi-sensei wa Tamesareteiru

Fifteen years ago, Kusanagi-sensei gave up the woman she loved, sealing those feelings away in exchange for a quiet, composed life. Now thirty-six years old, she has settled into her career as a teacher, certain that the most tender chapter of her heart closed long ago. That fragile peace is shattered the day she comes face-to-face with a new student: none other than the daughter of the very woman she once loved and lost. Fate could hardly have dealt a more staggering hand, and Kusanagi-sensei suddenly finds herself at the center of a situation she never could have imagined. To make matters more complicated, the young student refuses to keep her distance, pressing forward with bold, relentless advances that leave the teacher nowhere to retreat. For the first time in years, Kusanagi-sensei's carefully guarded composure begins to waver—ushering in her era of trial, a test of the heart against emotions she believed were buried for good.
