Extremely trans-coded to the point I wish it was just outright a trans story. I mean, literally every ingredient is there; Everyone including even Ookuma constantly misgenders her, at one point people say Kanda looks male even when she's wearing femme clothes, and her inner struggle to show her gf the "real her" is straight up just written like coming out as trans to your s/o. So much so that the way she "proved" she was a girl by stripping down felt kinda disingenuous and cheap. The whiplash of Kanda being written like a trans character when she isn't one made some moments like that a bit off-putting, at least for a trans person like me.
Other than that this is a cute one with a handful of very nice moments. Everything post coming clean was very fluffy and I really enjoyed seeing the process of how HARD Kanda fell for Ookuma lol. I always enjoy the trope of the initially hesitant one turning into the clingy one by the end.
