We got some more not toxic "toxic" yuri. My money is on the whole series being like this, with cute interactions and the pet play being how they process what they're not yet ready to talk about.
That is one interesting boyfriend, not that there's anything wrong with that.
"Boy"friend?
(I know he might be a boyfriend, "A Cute Guy" from Tatsubon have a great development on that line, but I'm taking my bets on that not being a bf but a gf and she had a little slip before telling out for the way of the addendum)
Yuri work combined with the panicked reaction afterwards makes it clear it's not a boyfriend, especially from what else I've seen from this author.
The other gyarus are likely putting on a tough act to seem confident while dealing with their own secrets and insecurities (as everyone does). MC is clearly feeling fake to some extent, so I expect learning more about each other to be a bonding moment for them.
I just caught up with this series, and it's been fun so far. I'll put my two cents in on the boyfriend and give a theory. Either it's a Cis guy who's really comfortable with his masculinity. Or the boyfriend might be Trans and hasn't realized it yet or ready to come out. I mainly say it because it would be cool to see, but I don't know if this series would ever tackle that, so it could just be a girlfriend. Either way, I know the author won't disappoint with the reveal
