And? I like tomboys. Just because it's been done before doesn't mean the underlying conflict lacks complexity. It just isn't unique. I can appreciate "archetypes" being written similarly as long as the character retains the complex dynamics of that archetype.

Whelp. Dropped. I hoped this would be a fun comedy, but I don't want to read about Jeffrey Elfstein.

Sure. She has lots of self-confidence issues stemming from her height and her boyish appearance, but that conflict and desire to be perceived as feminine also contrasts with the fact that she LIKES tomboyish things like sports. She has a view of what being a girl is "supposed" to look like...

This is why I'm in the Moe Gang, because she's complex, interesting, and better-written than Kusunoki while also not being a massive snek. Best of both worlds. (Plus tomboy.)

That's why Akane is best girl.

Yep, this is like, what, the third or fourth work by this author/artist duo where the focus is on student bullies? They've definitely found their passion.

I'm guessing that Takami is the perpetrator/accomplice of this whole game, and the two of them are putting on a show to trick their classmates. Tojo is keeping him around under the guise of "I have something special planned for the one who ran away" when actually he's her instrument for moving...

Nah when I was in elementary school I was searching pokemon cards I wanted on ebay and going to card shops. A lot of kids these days won't know, but just as many will know what the "chase" cards of a set are, especially one that's so expensive it's 100k yen. So at minimum we could assume that...

I think this would be more compelling if, for once, it was the other way around. "The demon lord/demon lord's daughter secretly loves the hero" has been so overdone I immediately predicted it from the start. It's played out. Let's see the inverse. Make the hero the one who's secretly enamored...

My theory is that Robin's magic is something akin to mild brainwashing. Not necessarily direct mind control but more an intoxicating effect that loosens a person's judgment and makes them easy to influence. If that's the case then Lilliane was particularly vulnerable to it given her...

That isn't what her face looks like without makeup, it's what her face looks like with different, more conservatively-applied makeup. The right kind of makeup can completely change what a person looks like. Her normal face is probably very normal, and she had no idea that she could look as...

"Devolved"? She was always that.

Look up former child actress Jennette McCurdy and what her family (specifically her mother) put her through for the sake of her acting career. She wrote it all down in her book. This mother is absurdly monstrous, yes, but I don't think it's nearly that far beyond the realm of possibility.

Yotsuha was in an orphanage because her mother abandoned her. The fact that she's back ten years later is throwing up red flags.

Well, it doesn't matter matter. But she wants to graduate high school, because she sees it as a milestone she must pass in order to be a functioning "adult" in society. Whatever society itself thinks about her is irrelevant, because this is entirely about her self-perception. She said it best...
