How is it possible Souichi to be a assistant professor at only 28? Or do I misremember his job title. I worked in university laboratories like him and the people around me were from multiple western countries and it was basically impossible to even do a post doctorate before 28. Usually it goes you start university at 17/18, do a bachelor and master that take 3+1 or 3+2 years so best case scenario you are 21/22 when you finish higher education. Then a PhD is 4 years, so you would be 25/26. And that is best case scenario when you didn’t spend months or years looking for a PhD or postdoc. And then doing postdocs takes 1,2,3 years each, people do multiple before getting a professorship and most people only get a higher position with a “professor” title in their mid 30s earliest. I think most of the assistant or full professors I met were all near or above 40. Is it just a wonder child thing specifically for the manga or is that actually possible in Japan? I thought everything academic and professional is actually harder to achieve in countries like Japan that is why I am asking
He is an associate professor. To get a doctorate in Japan is a 4 year bachelor's program a 2 year master's program and a 3 year PhD program.
He would have started at 18 and graduated at 27. He had just started post doc and they just threw him straight into teaching which is unusual but I think it's technically possible... but that's why everyone was shocked he was being offered the position to begin with and the class was shocked he was only just turning 28.
Everyone I know tells me it's hard to get into Japanese universities, but once you're in it's stupid easy.... and Japanese society doesn't think anything of master's or PhDs at all... I've heard so many Japanese people say it's pointless to even get them lol

I cannot help but to wonder how Souichi would react if a man made a move on Morinaga. I know he trusts him but I still can't help but to wonder...
Yeah it would be interesting to see! I feel like Morinaga would shut down anyone else before it even became an issue... the only reason Masaki was an issue was because Morinaga hadn't seen him at all since he tried to kill himself so there was a little bit of unresolved feelings there lol.... I'm interested to see what Souichi would do if he seems him again.... Which, because he's dating Kunihiro now, is a possibility lol.
On a sort of related note, I was just reading old questions Takanaga answered on Marshmallow yesterday and someone asked her if she could ever show a story about how Morinaga was before he met Souichi, when he was having sex with random guys. Takanaga said she'd be fine with drawing it but she wasn't sure if people would actually want to see that because it would be depressing... and her manager probably wouldn't let her do it lol. She said if she ever did show it, it would probably have to be in a doujin. A lot of people on twitter did respond saing they wanted to see it, but idk Takanaga takes forever to draw things now I don't ever expect to see it but I kinda want to lol.
I've been rereading Koisuru Boukun. In your opinion, do you think Souichi was jealous of Misaki? It seems like he was a bit jealous.
Yes. He was absolutely, 100% jealous of Masaki.
He wasn't great at knowing what he was feeling back then so he couldn't tell you that and he definitely wouldn't admit it if he did know but he was.
He was also jealous of that girl who was worried about Morinaga in Vol 1.
He made himself jealous by thinking about him dating a girl lol.....
Also, he's kinda more direct in the animal AU doujin lol
Thinking about Morinaga with someone else made him feel bad!
