That was great x3. But yea while I liked the ending, it was a bit disappointed, that Anzu ended up to be bottom, since she exactly looks like a bottom and that was the reason they decided she is bottom to begin with (and Emi being top, because she is taller). It would be more interesting if they reversed the roles after all, but I don't mind since it was cute nevertheless.
I don't think they said she's a bottom because she looks the part. But because they know her personality well.
Well yea, but when they tried to see who is better suited for it, it was clearly implied the reason Anzu didn't work as top was because when she was the assertive one it looked off. It was clearly the case of "she doesn't look the part to be taken seriously". Sure her personality might be more suited for bottom anyway and that was the initial reason, but then again nobody said author couldn't make her not have it. When she objected that she is totally top, I took it as her really considering herself one, not just being in denial, like she clearly knew she isn't, but didn't want to admit it. So in the end yes, she had both look and personality of a bottom, but she didn't have to, and author could simply make it a twist that she still was capable of being top. Which was a bit disappointing.
And a top being smaller than the bottom isn't unheard of. Off the top of my head, Taiga and Ryuuji (though it's het).
I watched Toradora and don't really remember Ryuuji being specifically bottom and Taiga top, but that is beside the point. I never said you can't reverse those roles, but in context of the story, their appearance was a important part. I don't think Emi was any more suited to be top, but simply because she looked the part she was able to do those "cool acts" convincing unlike Anzu and catch her off guard. And once she got Anzu to be embarrassed, she automatically lost all confidence and defaulted to timid personality. So even if Emi was able to switch and take a lead better than Anzu, it doesn't change the fact she already had a huge advantage over Anzu simply due their looks.
