Both of them are acting in character, but I don't see how this doesn't end up with Hana getting found out, so I'm worried.

First male character who's definitely 100% gay and knows about it?

 

[tokichiroaoi]

Oh my god.

did he say he was gay? I assumed it was demisexual or his sexuality is just clinging to anyone

I guess now we get to see how much cognitive disonence our boy can deal with before his head explodes! 😆

There's something very easy he could've done to achieved the goal of isolating Hanae from Mei, but he still didn't go for it. Kinda admirable for someone who was sprung up on this manga for the sole reason of introducing drama

 

[Haimihar]

Someone pointed out that this 'double' arc is important for hanae and mei relationship because they only like each other as girls, so this new character could nudge their relationship to the truth because he loves hanae as girl and guy, which mei still troubled to like the latter. I hope the resolves will be satisfying!!

 

[Ceiye]

Yo Kaede, you better start saying who you are immediately. Or don't. If he picks up that "Mei" knows Hanae, some (more) identity theft is definitely gonna keep "her" away from him too (if this airhead ever acted as planned lmao)

I think that could be accomplished without such a tedious character introduced purely for drama. Even the author points how them looking identical is a cheap coincidence.

Plus why did we even need that? Hanae already started blending the two appearances when he got makeup done. That felt way more natural. We could have had an arc about Mei hanging out with cosplaying/crossplaying Hanae instead.

And now Mei is going to think Kanae is Hanae lmao. Pure confusion, great stuff

Though as others have said, I'm also worried about Hana being forcibly outed here. Hope the hijinks can save her from that. I get the conclusion of this manga is that Mei and Hana come out to each other, but it'd make me sad if they can't do that under their own terms.

I feel like a better way to shoehorn in this new character is to make him an obsessive fan who met Hana from the cafe and his obsession is to the point he want to look like Hana and that is what pushed him to crossdress and his obsessiveness made him stalk Hana and finds out Hana was a crossdresser too and he decided to blackmail him into being his friend knowing his secret, that's way better than making their regular and crossdressing looks similar as just "coincidence", and even bigger miss of a chance it could even be the random guy who confessed to Hanae during the school festival arc finding out Hanae crossdress as Hana to work in the cafe

i feel like itd be odd if shuumei doesnt realize its not hanae that hes interacting with. because hes met hanae as mei and knows roughly what kind of person he is. also isnt mei still under the impression of hana being hanae's sister? so itd definitely make this fake hanae's motives incredibly questionable. addtionally, fake hanae has already said hes not related to hana. although shuumei is insanely dense so he probably wouldnt put that all together...
