Should we add Insane amounts of hand-holding? Or is it a spoiler

It's my favorite tag on there. "INSANE amounts of hand-holding, in four pages, how?" Oh, witness the insanity...

Dropped?!

Oh, sad, these were great little snippets, and the presence of alcohol meant that these stories had to be about adults (...or more like the reality of characters come to find out about "adulting", at least,) which I appreciate.

It was nice to have while it lasted, cheers!

Whoa, Chi really got pretty. She looks good with longer hair and no bags under her eyes.

Yes, it was nice to see a visual transformation of her radiating her growing confidence and success.

I do think it might have been good, though, for her to change in her clothes rather than face/hair. Less so that it's bothersome she becomes less butch when she gets happy (although fair criticism if that's something that snags for you,) moreso because it'd parallel what Nagi said to her, "I think cute dresses would suit you too, Chi-chan."

Finding myself wishing the author was more interested in the cross-dressing side characters who "don't pass" than the fairly familiar harem / gay-panic aspects this manga centers on.

Not only are these other characters adorably drawn in all their manly femininity / ladylike masculinity, but IMO they are potentially more interesting as a broad comedy attempt at exploring gender fluidity and social norms than just a guy going, "That person is a male, but they're also in a dress, so should I try to hump 'em or not?!" They are the joy I take from this manga, so thrilled and comfortable to embrace and explore presentation despite not being extraordinarily skilled at it.

Granted, these three are not complex or virtuous allies, necessarily. (I could have done without them all suddenly pining for a boyfriend... if some in the class found themselves free to explore latent/repressed homosexuality in this less-restrictive environment, then great! Or even if the classmates were so excited by what they learned about themselves and others while cross-dressing that they were open to try casual dating for further understanding of gender experiences, maybe? But this manga takes the more standard approach of 'everyone in pants wants to bang everyone in a skirt and vice-versa', which is pretty stale as comedy goes even without the larger social discussion here.) I just like how these three peripheral characters look and how much they seem to enjoy their newly-widening view on society, and wish there was a whole manga just about them.

Thanks to the scantilation team and the mangaka all the same. Will keep reading, but mostly for bits with my three faves.

Does those bullies have X-ray eyes?

Actually, some very specific details in Pandacorya's art jumped out to me on just that first page that immediately rendered the character as looking "different".

Oda's posture and the hang of her clothes, also the way the panels were directed, there were details that made the character design seem opposite of typical manga. (It almost looked like that slight off-feeling look you get from flipped manga to me; I wonder if the artist drew the panels in the layout and then reversed some of the art?)

It's hard for me to see what rang up to me as different again going back to it a second time (which itself is a bit of a poetic reaction), but I felt the art was intentionally askew even before I read the first panel. I felt it before she said it. Anybody else feel that?

Yo flag this for self-harm, I didn’t need to see cutting tonight.
It is flagged for "violence", i assume for that one image (and maybe the bullying, albeit that is depicted abstractly.)

If "self-harm" is a tag here, that might be better since the "violence" flag backfired a bit for me; I didn't fully read that one panel and so kept expecting a horrific, soul-crushing, violent twist coming on the final page...

Sweetness followed

No tag for "Lolihag"? You know, it's the hot trend right now...
