Description
“Ever since I touched you, I can’t control my feelings.” Banteon, a teacher at the Royal Esper Center, was secretly enjoying the night when he encountered Delroz, an SS-rank Esper, collapsed on the street. He ends up guiding Delroz. The next day, Delroz starts looking for the person who guided him that night. Banteon, not wanting to get involved, tries to avoid him. However, despite his efforts, Banteon keeps running into Delroz. What will happen to the Esper who is determined to find his guide and the guide who wants to escape him? Gaining confidence that he had not been discovered yet, Banteon crossed his arms and looked at Delroz. He spoke in a calm voice, as if he were a third party. “I hope you find the rumored guide soon, but it has nothing to do with me. Now, return my belongings.” “Hmm…” At Banteon’s firm words, Delroz fell into silent contemplation, not moving at all. Even as time passed, he didn’t budge. Finally, a tired Banteon urged him again. “I heard it’s a woman with long hair.” “That’s right.” A clean affirmation returned. Banteon was curious about why Delroz was so sure it was a woman. Knowing full well that the misunderstanding was advantageous for him, he still asked. “I heard you were in a dangerous state, but you seem to remember quite clearly?” “She was beautiful.” “What?” Banteon asked again, momentarily doubting his ears. “She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. It’s repulsive to think a man would ever look good to me.”

My Thoughts on How to Avoid an SS-Rank Esper
Alright, let's dive into "How to Avoid an SS-Rank Esper." I've been seeing it pop up, and after digging into what readers are saying, I've got a pretty good feel for it.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the premise is intriguing. A protagonist trying to avoid a powerful Esper? Sign me up! The tags give a good indication of what to expect: academy setting, bickering couple vibes, dungeons, and a protagonist with secrets. It's a blend of familiar tropes with a potentially unique twist.
What Works Well
One of the biggest positives I've seen consistently mentioned is the translation quality. Apparently, it's top-notch, which is always a huge relief. Nothing kills a story faster than a clunky translation. Beyond that, the world-building seems to be a slow burn, gradually revealing the intricacies of the Esper and Guide system. I appreciate that; I like a story that doesn't info-dump everything at once.
The main characters are also a point of interest. The male lead (ML) is described as not being the greenest of flags, but also not a complete red flag, either. He's supposedly going through a "straight man" phase, which some readers might find frustrating, but others might find interesting to watch unfold. The main character (MC) sounds like a fun character to follow, the story being told from his perspective. Apparently, he's morally dubious, but sets boundaries, which I always appreciate.
Areas of Concern
The "straight man" trope with the ML seems to be a potential sticking point for some. While some readers are willing to give it a chance, others might find it off-putting. It really depends on your tolerance for that kind of dynamic. I can see how it could be interpreted as problematic if not handled carefully. I also noticed the MC's relationships with students might raise some eyebrows, even if they are over 18.
Final Verdict
Overall, "How to Avoid an SS-Rank Esper" seems like a promising read. The world-building, translation, and character dynamics are the major draws. However, the ML's "straight man" phase and the MC's relationships with students are potential pitfalls that could turn some readers away. If you're willing to give it a shot, it might just surprise you.
