Well, I fully agree with you that nothing we say here will impact BISHOP, but I was asking about your personal opinion and preference if you hypothetically had the decision-making power.

Also, if Japanese buyers are fixated on schoolgirls or teachers, then why lean so heavily into one or the other in a game, and then create one token exception? At that point it's better to either go all-in on each game being student-focused or teacher-focused, or create a closer split to 50-50 so there's something to interest those who like students or teacher heroines to consider picking up every single title.

You do make a good point about Asahi though - her introduction blurb definitely made sure to emphasize that she looks and acts younger than her age and that's what the protagonist likes about her enough to target her.

(And now that I say that, Mesu Kyoushi 4 was indeed all teacher heroines, so we could say that question on my end was something BISHOP used to do with Asahi being a part-way implementation of the concept we see much more explicitly today, but then the question is why they made that shift for the reasons outlined above)
