This manga was cute at times, but to be honest I didn't think it was all that great, it's sense of humor is a bit too silly and irreverent, and it ultimately didn't have anything strong enough in the plot to really drag me in. Good art though.

Huh, I don't think I've seen an ending like that before. Suddenly introducing new characters made me think it was going to get dragged out a bit longer, but, no, it's just for a joke about things repeating

het, actually, but I think it would be interesting with this pair of creators.

Naru is an interesting character.

I hope they pursue it.

Page 4 and I already knew it was going to be a "mistook sibling outing for cheating" chapter. Why is that a trope?

I guess this counts as ending on a high note. I enjoyed this manga.

Because it actually happens.

Same. For me, there were only a few chapters that made sense or had a good feel to them. It seemed rushed or nonsensical. This could've worked as a 3 chapter short series. A one-shot even. But 13 chapters ... with a meh ending. shrug Really, it overall could've been a lot better.

Haha, I really liked this series. This chapter though? My tears. My tears specifically at that soft kiss, and Ookuma smiling into it.

I will definitely read this again someday. I leave feeling blessed.

PS.: Satomi can step on me any day.

"Rushed or nonsensical" is kind of Mochi's brand but it's a lot easier to overlook when the art isn't leaps and bounds better than the writing (though even then I stopped reading Mochi's other stuff a while ago for this reason).

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.

Or Naru could be a cisgender male who is simply gender-variant, i.e. diverges in his behavior and/or gender expression from the norms for masculinity and femininity (which is not limited to transgender people) by having a decided preference for adopting a very feminine appearance while not putting much thought into what label he should identify with, and he's acknowledging the fact that he's diverging from gender norms.

For your information, the Japanese line that Naru said is "まぁ 性別上は". Japanese doesn't actually differentiate between "gender" and "sex" in its native vocabulary, using 性別 for both (although it seems to primarily mean biological sex); the only available alternative for when distinction is necessary is ジェンダー, a transliteration of English "gender".

Yup. That's what I meant by "on that end of the spectrum" and why I used 'they' instead of 'she'.

That's good to know. So they might not have been making as much of a distinction as I initially thought.
