Hana to Yume: Oresama Teacher chapters 45-50
Oresama Teacher concentrates on the school festival battle between gangs in these chapters. The former bancho personally internally struggles on the decision whether he wants his head position at the school back. The ultimate result of this is a well paneled battle between him and an entire gang. Notably absent for this fight scene is the heroine who has been rendered unconscious. For people who enjoy thrilling action sequences these chapters are worth a read.
Hana to yume: Anonymous Noise chapter 20
Anonymous noise chose to focus on the origins of In No Hurry this chapter. Nino discovers that she was inspiration for the formation of the band and about Yuzu’s tragic past. It was a moving and tragic chapter as Yuzu’s hospitalization has not previously been addressed in the story but this chapter it takes central stage. For people who enjoy emotional stories this chapter makes for a thrilling read.
Hana to Yume: Oresama Teacher chapter 44
This Oresama Teacher chapter focuses on Mafuyu and her companions. Mafuyu doubts whether their newest member who is an ex-student council member is truly on their side or not. This is mostly a comic relief chapter which does not take itself too seriously as the gang goofs around together. For fans of light-hearted comedy this chapter is worth a read.
Hana to Yume: Oresama Teacher chapter 43
The focus of this Oresama Teacher chapter is on the different factions. Mafuyu and her friends discuss their daily lives while the villains plot their next move. The series implies some nefarious things are about to occur because of the student council. I like the way the series treats the school as a microcosm of the way society functions. If you enjoy chapters that balance the tight rope between light-hearted and dark masterfully I recommend checking out this chapter.
