Also! I have to say, the whole “I’ve never thought of being with a woman before” comment really added a lot of me too! It gave me a sense of “oh this isn’t de-gendered sort of unsexed fluff yuri, this is Homosexual Gay Shit and that really adds a lot. It means a lot to me when the acknowledge that, idk it changes the feel of things. Is that just me?
Definitely not just you. There are a lot of (mostly) fluffy yuri that don't make any distinction about the romance being homosexual and just shove it under the umbrella of "romance" without a second thought to the characters being the same gender.
And it of course would be nice if reality functioned this way, where everyone could love freely and nobody paid any mind to the gender of a person that someone is having feelings for. But that's not how our reality works, so it can be a bit jarring when it happens in certain works that otherwise seem to be taking place in our reality. Cough Sasakoi cough
This manga is surprising in how the isekai world is 404 Men not found
yet we're still getting thoughts from our MC about this. It would be easy just to ignore it and treat the romance as nothing other than standard romance, like it is for this world.
