Thanks for picking this up!

 

[Reversinator]

Genuinely, seriously, I'm in love with this.

 

[Paru]

That was nice, can't wait to see where this goes and how depressed I'll get

 

[ThaIssing]

I like this first chapter. I look forward to more!

 

[WhoCares]

That art teacher is awesome. What a cool lady.

 

[Pampatos]

Nice start. thanks!

 

[bluxaroo]

Best thing I've read recently. Appreciate the translation.

 

[Strenux]

Terrific first chapter. There's a strange melancholic element to it, can't quite place why.

EDIT: Is there anyway to find good, grounded-in-reality manga like this? If I hadn't clicked on this on a whim, I would have missed it.

 

[OniBarubary]

This is a fantastic first chapter. I'm interested in seeing how they handle Yuka because I got the impression she's trans? But things were vague enough that I'm not actually sure yet.

 

[Simkin]

Seems I discovered the joy of reading this manga.

 

[petra]

now thats a good teacher.

 

[Vahlokdotiid]

Is it really Yuka the trans girl or is it the black haired girl who was drawing earlier. Im not sure who they were mentioning.

 

[NOUN]

as i recall it was a crossdresser not a trans, hm.

[talltales]

@NOUN Just because someone calls her a crossdresser doesn't mean she is one, it's more likely that person is transphobic. All her friends and club members seems to treat her like a girl, and she got mad when the mc deadnamed her too.

 

[Keimichi]

Whew somehow it feels like a sport manga.

Is art really that deep

 

[Serenata]

Amazing, even as one shot this was beautiful so I'm glad there's more, so glad!

 

[vodkavodka]

It feels less impacting in black and white colors. The less you know about art, the harder it to understand the theory just by reading the description.

 

[orochijes]

I like how his friends didn't tease him too hard about him crying.

As for the "crossdresser" line, one explanation is they called her that just because Yuka is wearing the same black shirt the boys wear with her skirt. That doesn't explain why Yatora called her "Ryuji" though.
EDIT: As of chapter 4

Spoiler

Yuka is a confirmed dude

 

[elefantine97]

ah man i thought that "crossdresser" was a boy/transgirl, guess she's just a girl
also what a pleasant first chapter, i really like it
