Dude, not cool
That girl's been supporting you for such a long time and you are going to suddenly pull a bitch move like that
Not fucking cool

Akira's a bubbling cauldron of insecurity, isn't she :/

Hime's hot for Akira, but only a lesbian for her. She'd go for crush-boy if Akira wasn't involved. Akira knew this would happen (people can sense such things) and was dreading the day it turned out she was 'too manly' for crush-boy, or that crush-boy was arrow-straight... (which seems likely).

Hime's literal response to him complimenting her was "CREEPY!" (and I agree, dude gives of hella bad vibes Akira's just clueless) I really doubt she'd go for him under any circumstances.

i think everyone's being too hard on akira. she's a young trans girl that's struggling a lot at the moment. i feel like she instantly realized lashing out was a mistake and fled out of embarrassment - you know, like teenagers do to avoid things. i'm looking forward to her and hime patching things up.

i'm also interested in akira's reaction to hime changing uniforms again? i feel like it could have a few things at the core. 1. the fact that hime can stop whenever makes it feel like for hime it was a phase, implying that she may think the same of akira - at least from akira's POV. i feel like this is a common intracommunity tension with genderfluid/ more broadly gnc people and binary trans people - so it's interesting to see it play out here.
2. akira maybe feeling a loss over hime not doing that to defend her anymore? it wasn't the most thought-through defense, but it was still a symbol of solidarity, and their closeness. there's a bit of sadness to that going away.
and my first assumption but probably least likely, 3. maybe akira was into hime in the boys uniform? not as a boy, but just that she really rocks it. as someone primarily into more masc women, i'd empathize lmao.

I feel so sad reading this, It's hard.

I agree with Kawaiisuke and majere. Hime would definitely not go for crush-boy under any circumstance.

Hime's reaction to the guy was an expression of repulsion because of the lecherous way he checked out her body. However, because she is aware that Akira likes the boy, she pretended to be cordial with him. Akira's presence was the only variable that forced her to act friendly. Even then, Hime acts uncomfortably and awkwardly towards him, not wanting to be near him. If Akira was not there, then I doubt Hime would respond politely or if she would respond at all.

The way he looked at her was creepy though ngl

Boi, did you even read the chapter

It's starting to peg my Wandering Son-o-meter, assuming it's foreshadowing the ending.

This series is excellent, but it's a bit frustrating how little the plot advances in each chapter.

It's definitely a story pace that benefits from reading a few chapters at a time, rather than every release. Still, it's a great story, and worth waiting for

“That was me!”

SURPRISE MOTHERF***ER

"You thought it was a cute waitress, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY ME, DIO!!"

Remember me, Hime!? When I gave that you that drink, I talked JUST..LIKE..THIIIISSSS!!!

I wonder why the chapter title is called "Kafka Inside a Mirror."
That sounds deep, but I cannot figure out what it means

So at first was he worried because she was a security blanket for him when he was in boys uniform, or was he worried cos she's pretty dressed as a girl? I know it's cos she got complimented by crush-kun is why he as lashing out, it's just when he first saw her in girls uniform he seemed nervous is all

That's she, not he.

I know, I know, but I wasn't sure if people would know who I was talking about so I referred to Akira-chan as he (my apologies)

I could rabbit on about your appropriate quote but it would bore people ;) .

One thing that Akira might not know is that you can like girls and be trans. seriously people dont know that

"Het (normal) people are either evil or thoughtless"

"LGBT people are cool and understanding"

Hu hu.

Well, THAT was an unexpected turn of events. Now she has not one, but 2 boys she's interested in, aside from Akira of course...

Hime's reaction to the guy was an expression of repulsion because of the lecherous way he checked out her body.

Well, that's not how I saw it, although this chapter does say that... but he's definitely 'into' her and that first flush of 'he's creepy' may have been because Akira's attracted to him and she (Hime) knows it. She sure is thinking about him a lot :/

And how else do you expect a tsun- to react to a boy she likes? "Get away from me you creep" is a traditional manga mating call!

Perhaps if you 'framed' it in a different way? Something... cartoonish?

Didn't expect to see "Girl expresses outright disgust for a guy therefore she must be into him" in this community but I guess straight nonsense is literally inescapable.
