Hana is visiting Mei… well, Yuuma is visiting Shuumei anyhow. When sisterly help appears poised to reveal the series’ big secret, you‘d be forgiven for forgetting exactly how dense these two actually are. But, you’ll be reminded pretty swiftly.
Some actual change for the better in this story, shockingly, as this volume doesn’t exactly rectify all the issues I’ve been having with the narrative, but makes things work just a smidgen better than is typical.
For starters, while there is still a lot more gay panic than a book that accepts crossplay should probably lean into, there is a really solid moment here where both our leads stick up for the notion that ‘love is love’ and, if you’re planning to hook the two of them up eventually, that’s a smart play.
And for something that rarely makes me laugh, there are some decent gags in this one. When Shuumei’s sister does Yuuma’s make-up and Shuumei starts becoming very attracted to Yuuma’s face because it reminds him of Hana, yet he can’t manage to put two and two together, that’s pretty good.
And then Shuumei just keeps on staring at Yuuma at school as well, which just elevates the joke a little more. I also really like that Yuzuru seems to be getting more than a little fed up with this entire premise and while he’s not quite an audience surrogate, he basically acts as a regular person stuffed into this manga where guys can flawlessly look like girls and nobody notices they’re the same.
It’s small stuff, but it does all add up to make this more fun than usual. It’s not exactly award-winning material, but it definitely didn’t make me think I should reconsider reading it, as it’s very silly in a way that works. As usual, if you liked it, nothing much is there to make you hate it or anything.
3 stars - maybe close to a 3.5, but it still doesn’t work entirely as well as I want, although this is much closer to that ideal than it usually gets.

On the one hand, I'm kind of sad I was missing out on this series all this time, just letting it sit unread on my shelf. But it's also really fun to be able to binge it - I'm halfway through and already dreading hitting the point where I'll have to wait for more.
I was not expecting Shuumei to start realizing that Hanae looks a lot like his beloved Hana. Seeing Hana's delicate, pretty features on Hanae's face makes him confused and a little angry - how dare this gloomy otaku be as pretty as the girl he loves?? - and I did swing back into understanding why Hanae still isn't that excited about spending time with him. But it's so interesting that he's recognizing that the Shuumei he sees through Hana's eyes is this kind, really considerate person who's so gentle and caring with him. It makes him a little bit more relaxed around the scary punk at school, because he's finally getting that Shuumei's not really going to hurt him.
I liked that Shuumei apologized to him for scaring him some - when he cornered Hanae at school and was staring at him really hard to figure out if he really did look like Hana. He's not mean; he just doesn't think sometimes.
I don't care all that much about this subplot with Kanoko and his ex-gang leader, but it was nice that (I think?) it was the first canonically queer character in the series. Hana and Mei were both cornered into saying "love is love" and that the idea of same-sex relationships doesn't bother them - although they'll probably have to spend a lot more time thinking about that eventually.
I liked the backstory with how Shimazaki got into cosplay; there's this lovely undercurrent of accepting people for who they are and celebrating what makes you happy, regardless of how it seems to others. This isn't the most realistic setting (one of my questions from volume 1 was answered, with Hana's boss not knowing he's a cis male, which wouldn't be the case in a real world scenario with paperwork etc), but it's a joyous one, and I'm really enjoying that escape.

Erster Band dieser Reihe, dem ich 5 Sterne gebe. Entweder ist es der Kontrast zum letzten Band, der fast nur 3 Sterne bekommen hat oder ob dieser Band wirklich einfach raussticht.
Gehen wir einfach mal alles chronologisch durch:
// CONTENT SPOILER WARNING //
Kapitel 1: Yuma ist bei den Satogiris zu Hause
Das Szenario mit Somei's Hemd und Sayu's Schminkaktion ist ziemlich unrealistisch, aber extrem witzig! Wichtig ist das ganze zudem auch noch, da Shumei endlich die Ähnlichkeit zwischen Yuma und Hana erkennt. Langsam erkennen immer mehr Charaktere die verzwickte Situation. Eigentlich ist da die Szene in der Somei denkt, dass Yuma und Shumei in einer Beziehung sind, ganz passend XD
Kapitel 2: Shumei zerbricht sich den Kopf über Yuma's Aussehen
Diese Szene hat mir tatsächlich sehr gut gefallen! Yuma heult und Shumei ist ausnahmsweise mal soft zu jemanden, der nicht Hana heißt? Neuheit.
Kapitel 3: Yorunaga zeigt seine softe Seite?!
Ich mag ihn. Er wurde zuerst als ziemlicher Arsch dargestellt, aber nach diesem Kapitel ist er mir echt ans Herz gewachsen (Plus besonders das folgende Kapitel mit Hana und Mei!!)

February 19, 2025I've taken to reading these at night in bed to calm down before falling asleep, and sometimes to goad myself into sleepiness if I'm resolutely insisting I'm not tired. It works, but oh my god, finding out I'm still only on v6 out of 13 (at least, since this manga is STILL running monthly) really has me wondering how the hell I'm going to survive not knowing how this ends.

I’m like a rabid dog with the way I’m devouring this entire series — just such wholesome moments and good lgbtq representation even if it’s messy 😭

長期化するとありがちだけど、これも新しい登場人物達がわんさか出てきて、ますますカオス。
そしてお互いが何かしらで繋がってて、何処が誰のどういう正体を知ってるのか、こんがらがって楽しい。
