Private Teacher! (Japanese: カテキョ!, Hepburn: Katekyo!) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Moegi.

(コイトモ! ?, "Romantic Partner!?").

Plot[edit]

Rintaro Noe, a clumsy high school student, dreads being around his tutor, Kaede Sumizome, who teases him incessantly. However, he doesn't realize that he's attracted to Kaede and that the reason for Kaede's playfulness around him may be because he returns those feelings.
