I want everyone together with everyone in this one.

Now this is the ingenuity I’m looking for.

She’s right though the deliverymen are cute together.

I really hope this isn’t setting up for Akira being sent the message that she shouldn’t worry about her appearance. Telling that to a trans girl is, at best, incredibly unhelpful.

I truly cannot get enough of the Bad Decisions everyone is making. It’s a beautifully drawn disaster.

Over here wishing we weren’t using assault as a romantic hurdle.

This seems like a potentially POWERFUL ship.

Comparing Amane's skinship to molesting is just pure dishonesty. These are not sexual advances. When Nene rejects her, Amane backs off. When she wanted to kiss her she asked Nene first. You really have no idea what molestation or sexual harrassment actually are, do you?

That’s a super corny shot to take and just reminds me of every person I’ve ever heard ask “Okay, but did he touch you?” Like, from all that we’ve seen Nene has clearly and definitively made herself unavailable romantically to Amane. Asking your ex for cute makeouts is maybe okay once your relationship is on VERY SOLID ground, and even then if they say “nah” you leave it alone. Amane just. doesn’t. stop.

Nene doesn’t have to be a saint to have her boundaries respected. She doesn’t even have to be nice or decent.

Have everyone define their boundaries before the fucking, kids.

It’s just not fucking okay to make advances on an ex who: not only broke off the relationship, but has consistently rejected your prodding, asking leading questions, and inconsiderate confessions.

I don’t think Amane recognizes what she’s doing as harassment, but intention doesn’t absolve her of responsibility. Especially after Nene agreed to stay friends because she knew it would soften the blow for Amane. She’s just been exploiting that trust selfishly.

I hope Amane finds a healthier relationship than what she’s immersed in, yes, but right now she’s doing all of the hanging-on.

We don’t know why Nene agreed to stay friends, just as there is ambiguity about why she broke up with Amane in the first place.

There’s no evidence in the text of any “trust” on the part of Nene that Amane is supposedly “exploiting.”

She’s clearly upset whenever Amane tries to make things romantic, no? It doesn’t seem like she had any idea ahead of the break-up that Amane would make the request, either, or that she had any real intention of exploiting the friendship.

At the moment it reads like “I’d like to continue getting along with you like you asked, but you’re making it incredibly difficult.”

There’s nothing in the rules that says a dog can’t be a catgirl.

At 80: “Y’know, weirdly enough I think I’m not a lesbian. Thanks for the fun times, anyway.” (walks away)

I mean, Nekomiya provides a total of two (2) front-facing possibilities: that she’s a cis girl fucking with you for kicks, or that she’s a trans girl fucking with you because she’s scared. The cross-dressing “option” is just solipsism on the part of the protagonist and misapprehension on the part of the author.

There are crossdressers/men in drag that aren't trans. Nekomiya's "backstory" (we dont even know if that's even true) can be interpreted as a closeted trans girl, but at the same time nothing refutes the possibility that it's really a he who just enjoys crossdressing. Freedom to wear what one likes has always been something some men wished for.

I’m not gonna say no crossdressing guy has ever had issues with body image because that’d be utterly unfair, but what crossdressers don’t experience is gender dysphoria as a result of how they’re pressured to present in the world. What Nekomiya describes in her original claim is absolutely a “trans narrative”, only furthered by the protagonist’s “I don’t date dudes” dismissal and grotesque obsession with her genitals.

Again, she may be cis, but nothing she says in the manga suggests boyhood (I understand the author is trying for that gender confusion schtick, but honestly fuck the author).

Tbh the lazy/half-assed conflation of transness, cross-dressing, and drag is intensely frustrating. If you’re gonna write about queerness maybe do the work of reading, like, a single wiki summary.

But wasn't that the entire point of the story? Nekomiya-san is a mystery. You don't know whether he/she is a trans girl, a crossdressing guy, a girl who likes to mess with people or something entirely else. Can't really be any conflation when there is no definitive answer.

Chapter 5 actually hard-unsold me on Amane/Nene. I just want for them both to be able to move on and find relationships without this tremendous amount of emotional baggage and codependency.

The human body is great. It adapts however I need it to. Everytime I reach a certain level of cuteness, my insulin production levels increased dramatically to prevent diabetes. Before, my rate was 10x normal from being in this site for years, after ch.10, it became 20x, and now, it's 50x. I'm soon gonna be more insulin than person.

In contrast, as someone diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus going on 16 years, I’ve been hospitalized twice since beginning Hino-san for blood glucose complications.

Maybe evangelical Christians were right and homosexuality is contagious... At least according to this manga. :p

It’s not so much that being incredibly gay is contagious as it is outing yourself as incredibly gay is contagious.

Yashiro’s exaggerated gestures are this chapter’s MVP.

Too many sluts. I can't handle it.

This, but enthusiatic and affirming.
