I wonder why all the characters in anime and manga are always basically slaves to their parents. Do those authors even know how teenagers can react?

Different teens react erm.... dis-similarly. It can be generalized but ya know... different backgrounds and all that shit...

Of course but...when was the last time you saw an anime character actually stand up against her parents? It is extremely rare. Why? Easy drama.

A boy? Do not like!

Could be a girl in the end...maybe :P

But yeah, if the kid is really a boy, I do hope his story conclude in when the arc is done.

It is an original story for the movie as far as a i know. So he can not play any big role after that.

If Kashiwa starts liking Nouzomi, I SWEAR TO GOD

It already happened. Be prepared how she leaves her girlfriend because she is a girl now and needs a man at her side.

I just hope Moe Pig gets some decent development and it wont turn into "Every male is scum" thing. His romance part is far more interesting then douchbag main love interest ones...

Though i liked this chapter, chubby kid was probably the only male in the manga who isnt a pig ironically, and yes this is counting that line at the end which i dont blame him for because tbh japan still cant get its head wrapped around gay people let alone trans people

He seems like a decent guy, i hope the manga does not turn every male into an asshole to prove how much better girls are (hello tumblr). He just has no experience with any Trans people so he does make some stupid comments. I do not see any ill intentions in his actions.

yuri ¯\(º_o)/¯ het which one is it ?

het apparently...

Its not like i come here to read yuri anyway ... sigh

I know its hard, but don't expect yuri from mangas not tagged as yuri, or you gonna get Love Lab-ed.

Most subtext heavy SoL are not tagged yuri.

The story itself is very bad what makes it really good is the reactions to it on several boards. You just have to love people loosing their shit over a douijin.

Growing up is a part of life.

Yes you do grow up but forcing it does not help either. There is no reason to change who you are just for the sake of being mature.

Change rarely happens because you want it. It's just something that happens to you as you grow older and experience all kinds of things throughout life, both positive and negative. And some people have no choice but to change themselves.

Oh there are plenty of people (teens) who just want to be "mature" and force it.

Who wants to read 100% realistic stories? Go grab a history book or biography or something for that.

Read the comments, apparently a lot of people want realistic representation of lesbians in Japan. And with a lot of people i mean western tumblr because nobody in Japan would read it ;)

I agree. I think Amano put in an afterword or foreword somewhere "if you're looking for fluffy 'onee-sama' yuri, look elsewhere." I wish more mangakas had that attitude. When I first got into yuri I really expected it to be more like this one-shot -- art can be enjoyable, but it can also be a vector for confronting difficult issues.

That would be horrible. Only drama filled yuri that is supposed to be "criticism"....that is why yuri does not sell. People do not want to read this kind of drama.

Addressing serious issues doesn't have to be angsty. I'd just like to read maybe 1 story about marriage equality or the difficulties LGBT people face in daily life for every 3 about schoolgirls holding hands.

Mangas very rarely want to be social commentary. Read newspaper for that ;)

Very cute story. Too bad it only has 11 pages. Right? 11 pages.

Why am I getting more and more of an impression that the writer doesn't really know much about trans people?

Probably not but this manga is not supposed to be a representation of trans people in Japan. It would be a bit unfair to demand that from this manga. It tries to be a romantic comedy thing but...kinda fails miserable.

and i really hope he doesnt end up being a love interest for sakura. dude straight up molested her.

It is pretty obvious this will end in a love triangle with him the sister and the 'brother'.

How I wish with all my might that doesn't happen. I'm already cringing. >.<

How is the cringing going after the latest chapter? :D

Anything could be solved if she just punched the bitch into the face, takes the phone and smashes it.

If she actually sleeps for some guy for money the manga has officially turned to shit.

Mmm. It's not badly put together, but...it's not really my thing overall. A bit more goofy than my tastes usually go.

I think the goofiness works very well. The scenario is very good for hard action without big consequences since the characters can loose everything but their head.

All recent yuri anime have sold terribly.

Lets not lie, they sold terribly for a good reason. As great as Sakura Trick was for the starved Yuri community, in the end it did offer little but the kisses.

It is...interesting? Not sure what to expect, looks like magical girl stuff. Could be nice.

I think they may have gotten together though,
"May have gotten together"? It is pretty obvious they are together. It was the whole point of the story.
