“Socrates recommended to the young, ‘the constant use of the mirror to the end that handsome men might acquire a corresponding behavior, and ugly men conceal their defects by education…. You are very beautiful.”

Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu.

Alt title: From now on we begin ethics.

Well, it’s been a while since I last posted, and what better way to return than to share this banger? I honestly just stumbled on this manga by chance when I was looking for something else to read while waiting for updates. And oh my! This manga really fits the meme I came looking for copper but found gold.

The story follows a cool Ethics teacher named Takayanagi as he deals with his students and their problems whilst imparting the essence of ethics. The story of each student is compelling, and the allure of Takayanagi grows on me after every chapter. Admittedly, I did stop reading after the first set of his students graduated, but I do plan on picking this up again soon.

If we’re talking about mangas that should be adapted to a live action, it’s definitely this one! Which it actually does have a Japanese live action :)

This scene with the fancy Hakuho girls discussing how Nagi is handsome and good at studies but way too weird, all while he's blissfully unaware and asleep, lives rent free in my head.

Some thoughts on the drawing:

I like how the perspective is from outside the window. It makes you feel as if you were walking by the classroom and just happened to catch this scene. In general any image where someone (whether character or audience) is outside looking in or inside looking out, immediately becomes more immersive (for me at least).

I also like how the bars dividing the window panes are faded out to allow us to see everyone's faces clearly while also acting as leading lines drawing our eyes to the characters depicted. Nagi's face especially is positioned right at the lower intersection, thereby using the in-world architecture to track our eyes to him even though he's completely passive in the frame and not even awake.

All in all very cool. ✨

(I wish I was normal about manga art that way I'd just be able to fangirl and move on instead of also thinking about every line and stroke of the pen that went into creating a certain panel. But oh well, they found me weird in school too.)

“You should meet someone better suited for you than Dad. Someone taller than Dad so you can wear heels, someone better looking, nicer, and more supportive of your painting as hobby.” “…My painting is not any better than your grade as a mage anyway.” “But you said there was someone! Your first love! If you return to the past, you should tell him how you feel.”

I received a compliment. For the first time, I was praised… for all I’ve done. I've done a lot thus far. I found out that the crown prince was behind all this... and that Rosaline was under his command. And Airel had no one to turn to... and the entire socialite world, including Juna and Mrs. janet, was involved. None of this would've been exposed if it weren't for me. The things I had to go through to uncover the truth were terrifying and painful, but I did it. I did more than enough... if I tell Calcion that I can't do this anymore, he'd probably agree. He may even actively help me return to my world. Any further investigations... will be dangerous enough to risk my life...

Any further investigations... will be dangerous enough to risk my life... "...But I won't give up until the end, until I figure out what happened." "You don't need to push yourself too hard. At least now I know who to keep as enemies." "No, I won't be able to stand it, if I fail to uncover the truth. If I return to my world now... I'll never know what happened until my last breath." "...Okay. I'll follow your decision. But... promise me you'd never get hurt like this, and that you won't risk your life for it. Never." It's already too late to call it part of our contract. "...I promise." This was a personal request from Calcion.

Now that I’ve become Camilla, there will be no more dying! Plus I have a very special ability. It’s the ability to see ghosts.

“But what if someone is after me? And what if that’s the crown prince?” “Don’t worry. I’ll stop it even if it means I must kill him?” “…Isn’t what you just said treason?” “So the crown prince better behaves if he doesn’t want that to happen.” “Haha. You’re too funny!”

“Isn’t Lady Camilla incredible?” “Yes, I wonder how she knew there’d be a fire at the factory. She even predicted the gender of the count’s child too!” “Not to mention the passing of the head maid…” How did I know all of that? Because I’ve seen it all dozens of times!

House Copland wasn’t particularly wealthy or poor. We had pedigree but no prestigious achievements. And the same was true for me. Neither my looks and grades were outstanding.

I get that Lehanne does not have the usual shining hair and dazzling eyes… but sheesh. Beauty standards in manhwa are far more ridiculous than reality, it seems.

I saw these scenes play out in the dreams of my past life. In those dreams, Camilla was always used and despised by others… …and ultimately died at her family’s hands.

"Thank you for escorting me, Sir Schudermel." I made such a nice memory with Sir Schudermel! I was truly lucky! I hope I'll be able to tell my daughter about this one day. 'But you said there was someone! Your first love! If you return to the past, you should tell him how you feel. Who knows? Maybe it'll work out.' There's no way it would. The man was the future Duke of Sagna and the famous archmage, Sir Schudermel. Nonetheless, my heart is beating fast. Even if I act with great courage, the world won't easily change or get destroyed. "Um... Sir Schudermel." "Yes?" Just throw it out there. Instead of not saying anything... just because he is someone out of my reach, I want to be someone with the courage to say what's on my mind, even if I get my heart broken. "If you don't have a prior engagement, would you be my partner for the graduation party next year?" "...If Lady Copland approves, then gladly."

The mage tower is located in the academy, so running into Sir Schudermel isn't surprising in itself. Besides, he is a genius. Though no one really knew that at this point. The fact that he was a powerful mage with dual attributes of water and wind was revealed two years later, along with the fact that his father was King Viorden. Because he was an illegitimate child, he wasn't qualified to be a successor for the throne. However, he was made the duke of Sagna afther the king obtained consent of Princess Ysaria, his only daughter. Sir Schudermel suddenly emerged as a young eligible bachelor who was both a duke and archmage, instantly becoming a star in high society. He's someone I cannot even hope to be with, so I don't have any expectations. Besides, he was my first love from a very long time ago.

"If it's alright with you, I'll escort you to your carriage." I wonder if it's alright for me to accept this favor from him. From what I've heard, the Duke of Sagna was a cold man. He didn't treat others harshly, but he showed no interest in others. He was definitely not the kind of person... who would use magic to escort a girl he hardly knew. Well, this must be the continuation of my lucky streak brought about by my return to past.
