I already finished it. I’ll say while I have some conflicting feelings about the genre (Trap/crossdressing comedy; not 4-koma), I’m overall enjoying this. The humor generally lands well, and I’m enjoying the love polygon pretty well (I don’t think that’s a spoiler, but figured I’d be safe). It’s also managing a good balance of light & comedic but not overly shallow, contrived, or unbelievable. My fav char is the 幼馴染 - I feel like she’s kinda the glue to the story, and I hope things turn out well for her as the series goes. I’ll see if I have any more specific thoughts later ---

Maybe one volume every two weeks is too slow haha. I’m already halfway through the volume and haven’t really focused on reading it too much. Since only one other person is joining (and they said they didn’t plan to keep to the pace anyway) do you want me to speed it up to one volume per week? I’m fine either way. Regarding the story, I just read the chapter where Kei works at the café for the first time, so up to this point is still just introducing the characters. The premise is a bit silly/unrealistic, but it’s cute and funny and that’s all I want from a manga like this anyway. I honestly like all of the characters, so I’ll hold off on picking a favorite for now. ---

I think one volume per week is good. Will respond with some more thoughts later ---

I forgot to mention, but I liked the omake chapter. It’s a cute, but funny origin story and I liked the grandmother’s perspective on the situation, particularly how it’s more important for Yuuki to be himself than to be manly. Also, I’m curious if anyone else reads the page headers. Not every 4-koma has these, but in the ones that do I almost always ignore them. ---

> [@seanblue](#): > > Regarding the story, I just read the chapter where Kei works at the café for the first time, so up to this point is still just introducing the characters I think shortly after that was around where I started getting a knot in my stomach, since I find this is where some other 4-koma have lost their appeal for me. Thankfully the worry was unfounded. > [@seanblue](#): > > The premise is a bit silly/unrealistic, but it’s cute and funny and that’s all I want from a manga like this anyway. I’m always hoping for something a little more, and imo the volume delivers well on both fronts. The final section was interesting, if unrealistic - and part of what I have mixed feelings about > [@seanblue](#): > > I forgot to mention, but I liked the omake chapter. It’s a cute, but funny origin story and I liked the grandmother’s perspective on the situation, particularly how it’s more important for Yuuki to be himself than to be manly. I had complicated feelings about that section - and also didn’t realize it was an omake… I like that it added some depth, but also it just seems really unrealistic and hard to swallow That reminds me, I also didn’t care for the author’s need to repeatedly write out variants of “is actually a guy” or “they’re guys tho”… like yeah, we get it - that’s the whole joke/gimmick in the first place. It felt very patronizing. > [@seanblue](#): > > Also, I’m curious if anyone else reads the page headers. Not every 4-koma has these, but in the ones that do I almost always ignore them. I read them - sometimes before the rest of the page, sometimes after the rest of the page. I’m not sure what the benefit to ignoring them is, and sometimes they help contextualize what I’m reading, or add a little something to it. ---

It felt very patronizing. I’m just guessing here, but since the manga was posted on pixiv it was probably written under the assumption that some people will be reading random chapters (maybe even random pages?) and not have the full context. I try to give stuff like this the benefit of the doubt for this reason, even if it’s annoying. > [@暁のルナ](#): > > I’m not sure what the benefit to ignoring them is, and sometimes they help contextualize what I’m reading, or add a little something to it. Oh, I don’t skip them for a _reason_. I just don’t notice them. I often don’t read chapter titles in English books either even though I read Japanese novel chapter titles that are on the right side of the page. It must just be something about the placement at the top of the page that I just don’t notice. ---

That’s fair… Tho I still think unnecessary. Not a huge deal tho > [@seanblue](#): > > I just don’t notice them Ahh that’s fair. I have to consciously remind myself sometimes too. I think it’s just that they’re not in a box, so it’s easy to focus exclusively on the panels instead
