I see your point! This kind of journey does require facing those setbacks. I’m not the biggest fan of coming out stories (just cause they’re friggin everywhere, and I find it boring now, aha), but I do have a feeling this manga will tackle that well.
My hopes for less external drama refer to annoying love rivals who are present in a story just to break up or set back a relationship. If it’s family or society as a whole stirring up a problem, then yeah, that’s a natural roadblock for Hinako.
Nonetheless, I’m enjoying sitting in Hinako’s mindspace and feeling her introspection as she figures out who she is. I’d like more of that. 😂
