Nothing like some good wholesome roleplay. Not enough of it in doujins.

25 pages, all to set up a fart joke. Never change Shou.

It helps that I also like tomboys, and they are really just two sides of the same coin.

Except tomboys don't bind, or use the men's room, or play on guys sports teams (for the most part) like a "femboy" would do makeup, tuck, join some all girls thing secretly, or wear much more rigidly gender-policed clothing. It's rare for their identity to be "revealed" as a gag or a trick (handsome girl was like drama associated with being misgendered and coming to grips with your sexuality, some comedy came in how her anxieties were unfounded because her gf was so madly in love.) Outside the very small yuri bubble tomboys are always portrayed as ultimately straight whereas the femboys always flirt sexually with male characters. Tomgirls in like nisekoi, Tomo-chan, and I'm sure plenty of harems vs the scads of femboys that lust after MC.

Maybe I should be more clear. I like feminine dudes and masculine ladies and several varieties of each. I don't need to justify my personal preferences to anyone, especially not some rando on the internet.

I'm going to say one last thing at that will be the end of my input on this discussion. This is a comedy. There is no drama tag, and I don't expect to see one during this manga's run on the site. If you want accurate representation of the trans experience, don't look here, you won't find it.

When the author doesnt believe trans people are real, then to the author all trans people are simply "cross dressers".

Let's step back a bit from assuming anything about the authors beliefs shall we?

The thing is, these characters tend to "cross dress" all the time, which falls out of the realm of what someone cis would do.

This is a fictional story. Artistic liberties and all that.

Like why is his despair of potentially being gay a funny situation?

Ok, I'll take a crack at this. In a perfect world, worrying about your sexuality is utterly pointless, because nobody would judge you for it. One of the great things about fiction is that you can create a perfect/near perfect world, and use it to explore ideas that you like, without having to drag real world social issues into it. This is especially important being that this is a comedy and, nothing ruins a light-hearted tone like reminding the reader that the world is a shithole full of horrible people.

That being said, this is a world where the norm is that guys have no problem crossdressing at all. With that in mind, it is comical for the MC to be worried about being seen as gay, when nobody else gives a shit. Juxtaposition is one of the foundations of comedy, and in order to turn something serious into something funny, you have to juxtapose it with something that brings out the absurdity in it. That is what's happening here.

MC is worried about being seen as being gay. That's sad. How do we make it funny? We make it take place in a world where guys wear dresses without giving a shit about how it makes them look. Now the MCs worries are completely unfounded, and we can instead highlight the comical nature of the whole situation.

Yeah uh, yikes, playing crossdressing for comedy almost always ends up transphobic and homophobic. closeted me ate this kinda shit up, now I just cringe/get frustrated. If a character presents, thinks, acts in a particular, single gendered deal different from their assigned sex except for when they go "haha i'm boye/gurl gottem xDDDDD" or to assert a rigid gender binary every so often, it is really hard not to read that as anything but a trans character written by a transphobe to say that, despite everything someone may do, they can't change their gender.

Yep, because all crossdressers are either gay, or trans.

Also, why do people think that the crossdressing is being played for laughs here? I mean, I think the idea of crossdressing becoming a popular fad is pretty funny. It would be like if wooden clogs became a popular fad. That being said, the comedic drive of this series is clearly not the crossdressing itself. It's that the MC is confused because a dude is giving him a boner. I find this pretty relatable as someone who used to hate feminine guys, but now I think they're adorable. It helps that I also like tomboys, and they are really just two sides of the same coin.

This trope is beyond fucking boring, if your love falls apart because you go to different colleges then it really was nothing more than a high school flick

Maintaining a long distance relationship is difficult and scary, and for many people, it is impossible. Love isn't magic, and true love that can survive anything you throw at it doesn't exist.

Yes I am a cynical bastard, but it's true.

Can we get an Incest and Caliber gap tag on this please?

that tomboy girl straight up looks like a guy

Well... yeah?

Kissing people on the mouth without consent is generally not ok.

^idk. She has surprised kissed several of them on the mouth. She definitely has some boundary issues.

Gochiusa wil always be right alongside Kiniro Mosaic as that show that's got a lot of subtext, but very little yuri art because it isn't an idol show or a massive multimedia franchise. Can any mods pull up some analytics on what percentage of the images on the site are from an idol show, touhou, or a mobile game? I bet it's a lot.

Ah yes. Hololive's resident dangerously-useless-lesbian. At first I thought Matsuri was just a bit weird (aren't we all), but then she told the story about how she tried to drink her own pee because she thought it would be kinky, and vomited all over her bathroom. Now I'm genuinely worried about her. As someone who's getting therapy, I think she needs it.

Does that even count as Ecchi? NSFW certainly, but I don't feel like there was anything pervy to that.

I believe the Ecchi tag on this site is used to denote things that don't quite qualify as NSFW. Like nudity without actually showing any "naughty bits".

Okay.... She just cannot be a grade schooler, right? Come on, Japan.... This is too much even for you...

Idk in Non NonBiyori Hotaru is suposs to be 11 and look like that

But Hotaru is actually believable. Some people get hit by the puberty train a lot earlier than others. She's also not taller than all the other adults in the show.

Cmooooon, this progress is so slow and unsatisfying. I want to see the tearful coming to understanding and making up but the way it's coming feels aimless and ungraceful. Also the restrictions of this college situation seem insanely onerous for people who are supposed to be adults.

Aimless and ungraceful, as life often is. While I agree that the manga is slow, I think it's more due to the release schedule than the actual pace of the manga.

Looks interesting so far, though some of the translation choices are a bit odd. I know they've got to take some liberties when translating Japanese to English but hearing them say things like vidya feels a bit odd. Though the translator seems to be affiliated with /v/, so I probably shouldn't be too surprised that the translation is a bit memey.

Don't worry. They only did the first chapter. The rest is done by /a/nonymous and are much higher quality.

That's quite the title...

...or is it?

Although the translation is woefully bland, the art and the emotions it conveys are fantastic.

The original script is just as plain, sadly. Personally, I like it that way, but I understand if it's not your cup of tea.

I understand why it's so plain. That's the aesthetic that it's going for, but these characters really don't have any character whatsoever.

Although the translation is woefully bland, the art and the emotions it conveys are fantastic.

Goddamn this is pretty art.

I hope they become good friends, and maybe kiss each other on the mouth like good friends do.

She handsome, suave, and dapper af

Seriously, they just need to talk to each other about their feeling. Their lack of communication kinda irritating me.

I agree, but their lack of communication is extremely relatable. I'm with someone who is quite similar to Miwa and we are constantly having issues bringing certain things up with one another. Her because she doesn't want me to be upset or angry with her and me because I don't want her to be too down on herself. It can be very difficult to talk sometimes and we've been together for 15 years.

A lot of people, especially on the internet, idolize the idea of the perfect relationship. They think that if you just talk about your feelings and communicate everything with each other, then you'll never have any problems. If only it were that easy. Thankfully, humans are capable of loving others for/despite their flaws, and imo, that's far more wonderful than any "perfect" relationship could ever be.

Thumping is adorable. I hope he turns into a good guy. Maybe even a cute guy.

Wow, a greenteaneko work on my wholesome yuri website? What has the world come to?
Also, the outline of their boobs under the covers is hilarious.
