Ah, the classic tale of blackmail and forbidden pleasure—because nothing screams romance like coercion and emotional manipulation, right? *Till Summer Ends* dives headfirst into the murky waters of a high school baseball drama, where the team manager, Tachibana, finds herself at the mercy of her creepy sensei. He’s got dirt on her and the team’s star player, Kou-chan, and he’s not afraid to use it. What follows is a twisted game of “do what I say, or your dreams go up in flames.” Spoiler alert: she caves, and the sensei gets his way—repeatedly.
On the plus side, the animation is decent, and the voice acting sells the mix of shame and reluctant pleasure pretty well. Tachibana’s internal struggle—feeling guilty but also kinda into it—adds a layer of complexity to what could’ve been a one-note story. But let’s be real, the sensei is a walking red flag, and the power dynamic is about as balanced as a seesaw with an elephant on one end. The scenes are intense, sure, but they’re also uncomfortably one-sided, with Tachibana’s protests often brushed aside. If you’re into dark, morally questionable plots with a side of emotional manipulation, this might hit the spot. Otherwise, it’s a hard pass unless you’re in the mood for some guilt-ridden, tear-stained drama.
