Summary - English

Shuumei has a problem. He’s in love with a girl who works at a maid cafe, but he’s too cool to go into a place like that without being embarrassed. But girls can go to maid cafes without seeming creepy, right? When he dresses in feminine clothes and transforms himself into “Mei,” he can finally walk into the place to meet the girl of his dreams: the lovely blonde Hana. Meanwhile, Hanae is an introverted otaku who’s uncomfortable talking to people…unless he’s dressed in feminine clothes himself. While decked out in his best dresses [note: incorrect, he is wearing a “uniform”, in the sense that it belongs to the shop], he works at a maid cafe, and finds himself crushing on a young woman who regularly comes to visit him: a cool beauty named Mei! In this delightful LGBT+ romcom, two young people in love are about to find out a lot about each other–and themselves.

This was a good week; I don’t have my copy on me atm, and I don’t remember the names sorry, but Mei’s fellow ヤンキー friend spotting right off the bat that 花’s a dude was pretty good; I’m glad he didn’t immediately spill the beans. The new character also has fantastic comedy potential; can’t wait to see how he interacts with the group.

Chapter 7 was top-notch as well; “what kind of thing would a girl give as a token of thanks? A kiss on the cheek”. And then their faces, haha. I was disappointed 花 didn’t sneak one in after giving the hair pin. :kissing_heart:

Okay, so I’m finally sitting down and have to ask: what is with 鹿子’s halter-top thing? No way that’s school regulation. :stuck_out_tongue:
