A Story About Becoming Cooler Than the Cool Girl (Pre-Serialization) - Ch. 23 - Cool Girl and a Borrowed Jersey

[CasualMangaFan]

These chapters are really frustratingly short...

Sadly the nature of this kind of manga.

She looks like a guy.

Kind of the point of her character is the gap between her very strong and stoic masculine exterior, contrasted by her very shy and cute feminine interior.

Her having boobs would make her less confusing.

Her having boobs would make her less confusing.

But less interesting.

But less interesting.

Wrong. Her getting booba would make her more interesting and better-looking. Flat is not sexy.

Omfg, you're clearly 12. It's not about "sexy". This manga is obviously well beyond your level of comprehension. Go to hentai haven if you're after that shit.

She isn't "flat", scientifically proven fact is that "flat" actually are the biggest in size.

Your cope makes no sense.
I swear, her lack of a chest makes the manga kinda look like a yaoi.

Probably because I'm not a horny 10yo...

Or, because yaoi is a thing.

Early termination of exclusive breastfeeding, basically some guys that like "booba" suffer from withdrawal and need "booba" to cope with it.
It isn't something bad, per say, but realisation is the key.

It's more likely that the girl in this manga looks like a guy and thus this manga is more of a BL manga had the author not specified that she's a girl in the title and just about every chapter. The sooner you realize this, the better.

She has every feminine traits necessary, just because you don't see past the look, doesn't make her less of one.

Where? This is not Hana Kimi, She's The Man nor Coffee Prince.

So what? Manga doesn't have a highly detailed photo-realistic style, rather it's highly stylized.

It's not exactly a secret that a lot of mangakas exaggerate sexual characteristics on characters in order to convey gender while avoiding breaking their unique style. Others opt for more arbitrary things, like reducing the drawing details on male characters, or opting for excluding eyelashes and drawing the iris as a black dot (while doing very detailed eyes on female characters). In many cases, if they didn't do that, the characters would all look the same (that's also why so many manga artists can cross-dress their characters so easily).

This author chose not to do that with this work, while making the girl a tall, flat chest tomboy, so you have to derive from the context that is given. These are one or two pages manga chapters too, so there isn't a lot of room for artistic and literary detail. Even so, this isn't an unrealistic scenario, as these tomboys do exist in real life.

I think too many male readers find this manga "confusing" because they are very accustomed and even numb to female characters with exaggerated sexual characteristics, and kinda "forget" they are looking at drawings in the first place.

It's confusing to me because of the abundance of femboys and traps in general.

It's confusing to me because of the abundance of femboys and traps in general.

I think I get what you men, but in most cases you only get to femboy/trap conclusion because the author states it, or in case of NSFW manga they show it. In the latter case, especially in hentai, it's quite common that the author satirizes the ambiguity and how the reader reacts to it.


In fact, the term "trap" comes from the fact that the (usually male) reader feels cheated over the author decision to give genitals to a character different from what you'd expect from their design. This is only possible in drawings with a style like manga/anime, ambiguous in nature, and explains why traps and femboys are so common in manga/anime.
