Wow, that ending is actually pretty sweet. Short but sweet, was kinda hoping for more like them being introduced to each of their parents and stuff. Though, I do wonder if his friend will get his own short story with Kanda's brother.

Wait that's the end? It was good but I was hoping for a lot more like the parents finding out and stuff!

Yup, the parents thing was not explored at all. This ending left me a little bit....I don't know....

People keep calling the hinted relationship between Naru and Shiba yaoi, but I don't think that's correct. When Ookuma asks them if they're a man, they very explicit say their sex is male. Now, that could just be an artifact of the translation, but it seems like a very specific and unusual wording. They also always appear in very feminine clothes and act in a more traditionally feminine way.

My guess is that Naru is actually trans. or at least somewhere on that end of the spectrum, in contrast to Mizuki who just prefers more masculine cloths both still thinks of themselves as a woman and who gets surprised when people mistake them for male.

Also, on an unrelated note, I'd forgotten this series was by Mochi. It's so different from most of their other works, but I really liked the less completely crack tone and setting. I hope we see more in a similar style, if not an outright continuation.

And I don't really see her parents as conservative. Overprotective - sure. But she obviously has 0 issues with dating another girl, even less than a regular person. Maybe she is just an airhead, but I don't think that is something she would be taught in a conservative household of a wealthy family.

It's worth noting that the same openness to new experiences that lead to her easily accepting Mizuki is also shown in other aspects of her personality. For example when she was confronted with new, and potentially unpleasant, dishes she decided to go for them without hesitation. That's more than just ditzyness and it's not a character trait you'd expect from overly conservative households.

Oh let's do a continuation of the brother and friend pls I'm here for it if they do

One of my straight friends asking if I'd like them

Me: I'd never think of you that way. Stop that. What are you thinking? That's disgusting...

Yesss tho, a drawn out expression of feelings, I always love that. I'm gonna miss them, what else can I say. And you can def sign me up for the possible alt story at the end there.

"I think my girlfriend is cheating on me!"

Oh, no.

"I'm just going to go ask her instead of jumping to conclusions."

Oh thank god.

"The pretty girl is at my girlfriend's house! It's true! She really is cheating on me!"

Oh, no.

"I'm just going to tell you the slightly awkward truth instead of trying to cover it up and make things worse."

Oh, thank god.

This chapter was a real rollercoaster with my expectations, wow. And then we had a really sweet last word from Kanda to cap things off. I'm happy with that. Good series, I enjoyed it a lot.

Cute little manga but that ending is such a blatant sequel/spin off hook.

While it's not unexpected, I did sort of jump out of my chair at the revelation.

Of course it is. Human elbows don't do that, or at least they shouldn't.

Is that what is considered cosplay nowadays? Not judging, I just feel out of the loop...

That was it? Well...guess it's better to end on a good note than drag on with pointless drama. It was nice. Good mix of comedy and romance. Wholesome stuff like this really hits home.

I'm kinda sad to see it end, but It was a nice series, I knew it wasn't a mistake to follow this one, pretty wholesome stuff every chapter, also that ending.....when will we get a BL of those two?

Also Good genes seem to run in Kanda's family lol.

No that one is a exception not the norm in cosplay. Look for dragoncon videos or smth on youtube if you are curious. This guy just likes to cosplay as girls and well hes good at it. Check their twitter page.
