oh im kinda really excited about this

Absolutely adorable first chapter, excited to see what's next

rock on, friend

holy refresh pull... honestly rock in any setting means peak. or at least a peak indicator. pretty consistent indicator if you ask me.

Is this based on the vocaloid song?

It's based on the novelization of the song, yes. Written by THREEE, or Surii, the artist of the song.

oh I am absolutely digging this so far! only slightly collapsing into dust at the implication that love live is so old now that the main character was in elementary school when she started playing it...

So excited for this!!

Oof ow the part about pretending to play sports to try to avoid being bullied hits close to home for me, who (at the time) was also a closeted trans girl trying to figure myself out.

This looks interesting, thanks for the TL!

oh gosh this seems like a peak queer story im already so into it....

interesting start

Knowing the song beforehand and not knowing it had a novelization and seeing this pop up on the feed was an INSANE moment like a beat drop in my soul

Say less, I'm in.

I think they were referencing Aikatsu or Pripara.

OMG THIS SOUNDS SO FUCKING GOOD WHATTT I LOVE IT ALREADY

i like it when gender identity stories turn out well so i hope this one is good, looking forward to the next chapter

As someone completely unfamiliar with the novelization, I'm excited to read more.

It's definitely a pretty rhythm or aikatsu reference, Love Live doesn't have outfit coordination as a main mechanic like those two do where you mix and match different parts of outfits together.

i was trying to figure out which, but it kinda has elements from each. hair/eyes feel more pripara, outfits very pretty rhythm (or very early aikatsu). entirely possible the artist just went with a vague amalgamation of all of them though.

aaaanyway! art style is cute and the setup intrigues me. i'm probably gonna keep an eye on this one

I know this... song...???

cant wait to see more of this:DD

Thank y'all for the comments, im very excited to post more chapters off this! thank you skyekurisu for translating and giving me advice on edits and typesetting. I hope to get better at it with practice.

It's always interesting to me when one-off songs like this one or Villain by Teniwoha are expanded upon through other mediums. With bigger music projects like Kagerou Project, Shuuen no Shiori, Mikagura Gakuen and similar it kinda makes sense since there's already a much bigger base to write on, so I wonder where this one will go.
Hoping it explores the trans themes more than the manga adaptation of Villain did. So far it's pretty cute

Kazuki you will become the Telecaster B-Girl just you wait. Your cutes is showing
