I just had problems with the ending, which typically may have some unresolved issues, anyway.

I just re-read this, and I feel like we might be missing something from TL. Itsuki's sibling was referred as female in the first half of the chapters, but as male (including by themself) later on. Not sure if namo intentionally hid the sibling's gender and the TL just assumed they were female or if it's that weird transphobic japanese thing about refering to transwomen as men in the second part of the story... Either way it feels really strange to have Itsuki change pronouns mid-story. Anyone looked at the raws to clear the issue up?

The ending was a bit rushed for Tokujira, but Itsuki ending up with Botan totally made sense with all their romantic developments since ch 11. At a certain point Itsuki's feelings towards Tokujira became more like Botan's feelings towards her (wanting to help their friend overcome her flaws) instead of a romantic crush. Meanwhile Itsuki and Botan really does have that chemistry together, Botan willing to look past his apperance and mistake to see his good intentions and they share similar interests with him too. It just make sense for them to be together.

Not all's bad for Tokujira though, despite being a third-wheel in a lovey dovey couple, she's still pretty close to both of them at the end. Their dynamic remained almost the same, just with Itsuki and Botan now dating.

All in all, a cute romance manga with pretty solid writing (could've delve more on the cross-dressing thing or polish out Tokujira's backstory though).

I'm pretty sure they are trans, since they mentioned they don't have balls anymore

Y'know, this just made me notice something
Itsuki first falls for Tokujira because he believes she was able to overlook his appearance and see him directly for who he is, but was mistaken
After clearing up the initial misunderstanding with her, that's exactly what Botan does though, she sees past his exterior and is honest to him in the way he thought Tokujira had been

I loved the ending of this. God damn, watching the actual best love interest get the guy was amazing. Botan was a sweetie and a darling and had earned his love on top of everything else, and it made so much more sense that she got with him.
