I was not prepared for the hotness that is short-haired Lapis

I know Jiang is supposed to be this flawlessly competent person, but how do you end up in a director position when you're this bad at reading the room and can't even empathize with people at a cognitive level.

I hope she gets an arc that explores her past and explains why her entire childhood seems to be memory-holed cuz barely having any memory of your friends or what your school life was like is not normal and makes me think she had some traumatic stuff happening in the background. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and her being clueless is just a funny and interesting way to create conflict.

The trauma is explained in chapter 9. She doesn’t remember because “people come and go” so they didn’t matter + autism.

Well, at least it wasn’t another ‘tomboy wants to secretly be girly’ story, I guess.

Aaaah sad it’s over, I enjoyed coming back to this over the years. Thank you Yuri-ism for all your hard work.

Stockholm syndrome comes from a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, where the hostages refused to testify against their kidnapper because the police were not terribly concerned with the safety of the hostages.

Anyway, this story is a fun ride xD

I’m starting to develop an irrational hatred for these long descriptive titles.

Cover art made me look, first story art made me leave immediately. Looks like I dodged a bullet.

I'm honestly kinda relieved it didn't have time to go into the 'tomboy is just a facade' place.

I don't think that Hinako is gay, she is most likely bi. She just needs someone who can make her truly happy, who truly loves her, not just her looks, and we already know that person is Satou.

Nah, this is ‘picture book gay but has not realised it yet because too focused on trying to be normal and do what society expects’. Been there done that.

Hi!
I only remember this one scene and it's driving me crazy. The girl (wearing a black track uniform and I think she has short-ish hair) is running through the streets in her socks, to catch up with her gf who's leaving for something (I think, maybe). She gives up at some point and is carried home piggyback by the P.E. teacher (woman with short hair).
