The appeal of a woman normally over-the-top in both attitude and apparel, suddenly calm and casual. Absolute gap moe moment.

Yeah for sure, it's not a person that could exist in real life. Or so you would hope anyways. I've definitely met some weirdo teachers, but they were the ones trying to groom a high schooler, not trying to hook them up like some kind of freaky matchmaker. Never seen that particularly, though...

Gay people::worry: Aro people::aquadrink: Aro/Ace Touch-Repulsed people: :fml:

And then to "oh she's coercive and scary" after. Honestly if she didn't push the envelope so hard she mighta had something. The mc is a strange character, despite being unfathomably single-minded, they also seem ambiguous as a result of not caring about anything except this inexperienced desire...

Yeah it's super toxic, people's lives don't just wait around for you to show up, or to be ready, or whatever (although the other girl literally did lol, most loyal backup in history). Like the other commenter said, Kanata has had plenty of partners herself, doesn't really matter at all that they...

Yeah I definitely understand restricting it to major things instead of "unreliable male narrator" and "character is revealed to be gay" and so on. I just like how easy it is to go "ah what was that one game where the main character is secretly a vampire?" and there it is, found it in one tag...

There's no search directory for MDLists either though, so you have to rely on finding a forum post. What percentage of MD users aren't even on the forums? Not even lurking?

So they're saying there needs to be more "actually trans" works, which is kinda fair? Ig? Trans characters are seemingly not too uncommon, but rarely refer to themselves as such. In manga that is. There's still some manga that do, rarely. Although sometimes I wonder about whether it's a TL thing...

Yeah, I mean you could say she just wasn't paying attention but like, if the mc is going to have to participate in this kind of thing on a consistent basis and she is entirely reactive instead of proactive she's boned. Imo, the tea-party thing is blah anyways, but it's a given for Korean fantasy...

It did feel like the story arc wrapped up but like, I thought this was moving into romance territory and that would be the next/last arc. It's been building since early on when she said she would need to "find somebody else to talk about romance with" which implied she had a crush. But they're...

I would be disappointed if this turned out to be yet another "series ends when they get together, 50/50 on whether they even kiss" type of deal. The manga started as a love story, the part about becoming a musician felt more like a side plot that ended up overtaking the main plot in progress. To...

It's nice just by the fact that it's a little different, but it makes sense that those things may feel distressing or even dysphoric for somebody suddenly forced into a foreign body. It never happens the other way because ftm is a near completely untapped market in genderbenders, but imagine...

...yeah lol, I empathize more with women. I still feel a little bad for them when ntr hits men, but ntr usually makes me completely lose interest in a story whether it's to a man or a woman. So rather than feeling the second hand jealous burning in my throat I just think, "oh, well that's lame...

Ah, right, there was something like that. A lot of the other series in that tag are Girls Love though. At least from what I was told?

He doesn't want their friendship to change... there were all these romance flags and all the blushing and awkwardness. I feel like the text box for that final message is oversized deliberately, but is it saying "Hi, this is me the author spelling it out for you, this is not the end-game." or is...

An interesting take. You're right that women aren't a singularity. You're also right that different cultures express romance, especially gay romance, in a different way (often those ways are built upon the idea that being gay is wrong and/or dangerous but still). That's not really what I meant...

Ok, so the meter fluctuates, it looked like things were going pretty fast being at 30% before.

Too true, even if people want to be better, it can be extremely hard to stay better. Relapse can come completely unannounced and undo a decade of work. Or just kill them.

Yeah the Taiga archetype is definitely a no go in this era. I tried rewatching Fruit's Basket when they remade it some years ago and I was like "holy shit, how did I not recognize how fucked up the boar-girl character is?" I don't think it's just rosy-glasses that keep me liking Tora-Dora...

I feel like nuance is hard for a lot of people. This woman clearly is down on her luck (and as stated by some other characters they think her personality leads to others taking advantage of her) but that doesn't make her "an invalid and untrustworthy woman" like... these are the people that...
