I don't know where chapter 9 is, or if that one was 9... But... That was so cute, I don't even know if it will ever be a kiss... But... Couldn't you two just kiss already? My heart would very much appreciate. <3

I'm following Pixiv numeration. And it has a kimono art as chapter 9. But it has nothing to translate so I skipped it. Because I couldn't possibly submit it as a translation.

I never thought I would see this panel in the wild.

Can someone explain to me why a cool girl needs to look like a guy? Don't get me wrong, I love the setup where I guy thinks a girl is out of his league but she already likes him. I'm just wondering about this particular character trope as I've seen it in other manga as well.

Remember: for guys, food > shame.

the cool girl needs to look like a guy because i am bisexual and i’m into it

but also isn’t this specific trope a specific “prince” trope where she’s noted as being attractive to (ostensibly straight) girls? she needs to look like a guy to pull that off, and the central concept of this manga happens to be that kind of Prince also being a straight girl in a romance (with an “inferior” guy, no less, inasmuch as she’s “a better guy than him” in the eyes of her straight girl fans). It’s just having fun questioning assumptions and creating unusual but interesting dynamics i think.

i wouldn’t be surprised if the prince character trope stems from all-girl schools where the most guylike girls would logically be popular as an “approximation” of a guy. One could also potentially see a “girl who looks like a guy” as an improvement on a guy if one likes the looks of guys but sees guys as unempathetic. just spitballing here.

It's what sets this apart from other manga, I believe. You have a tomboy-ish girl who looks sort of like a guy, but is still a girl at heart. She's still a girl who happens to like looking cool than feminine. It's not something I look for, but don't really mind reading. The characters are written well, no complains yet. The girl, despite looking boyish, still has feminine vibe to her, and I prefer tomboys like that over tomboys who are just like dudes.

Ma'am, that's after they get married and hold hands. While the guy is crossdressing.

 

[xTuffman]

why a cool girl needs to look like a guy?

Correction, they have a tomboy look, which is very popular for both men and women.
Another GREAT example for this is Tomo Aizawa from "Tomo-chan is a girl" (both manga and anime).

With that said... where can I find a Ibuki to myself? 👀

 

[That-Guy]

The air your lips touch has already passed through many other lips in the world. That means by just existing, you are indirectly kissing everyone.

 

[Zaerox]

Cute, wish the chapters were longer

 

[Extreme-Tactician]

It looks like Ibuki wanted that indirect kiss from Tomo.

 

[Samhill]

She also looks as if she blew the straw, but yeah, let's focus on the indirect kiss.

 

[Bluefox_1]

At least one of them was able to regain their cool, eh?

That chapter would be available only over at the "fjords"...
