Been super busy trying to finish the novel I’m reading, but will get to this today.

Just finished chapter one. I’m a bit ambivalent so far (story beats), but I really appreciated the author’s note btwn chapters

I didn’t originally read the whole thing, but it is kind of funny that the author is apologizing for using a title that’s hard to ask about in public.

I forgot to comment about volume two, but there’s not much to say. It was cute and fun as always. I do appreciate that the question of whether Asuka knows it’s Kei isn’t dragged out.

vol 2 rough thoughts

I agree, it was nice the question wasn’t dragged out. Asuka has become my favorite character, since she makes people have the conversations, preventing the story from becoming too inane - which especially in ch 1 it was really bordering on, imo.

Am I right in thinking that Rin is usually a girl’s name, and You is usually a boy’s name? 紬 凛太郎 from 薫る花は凛と咲く is the only male Rin character I can think of

Honestly the stuff with the siblings towards the end kinda irritated me. Like kids playing with gender is cool, but idc for the fact that the gender exploration in this series seems to be one-directional, nor for the conflation of “sister trying to force clothes on brother” with “well, if he wants to”. I get what it was going for, just didn’t land well for me. I did think they were enjoyable in general tho.

Otherwise I’m enjoying the progression(s) well enough

I associate Rin as a girl’s name simply because of Love Live. Now that I think about it, You is also a girl’s name in Love Live Sunshine. What is my life?
