One more chapter and then I'll decide if I want to drop this manga or not.
So far not only it shows that the author has very little to no knowledge in how gender and sexuality work but also implies that LGBTQ people are all sick weirdos and I don't like this one bit.

@noguza It's Japan, man...

They're pretty conservative about this things, and I think it all boils down to their culture.

I really did not like the lesbian girl, early chapter actually ring my alarm and ch 14 really show how a bitter person she is. Not to mention author want to pull sad sob abt her in future chapter.
and i believe the club leader is either gay/trans/asexual. he could probably the girl that commented on gin twitter a lot. he clearly not into girl, like at all.

Jesus christ, why is everyone a sociopath except for Gin? I hope she realizes this and gets the fuck out of dodge.

I hope this manga gets better. Cause it quickly turned into all of the lgbtq characters being monsters.

I mean - at least Sumon seems not to be a total scumbag so far.

@desertstorm Being ignorant and relying on shitty stereotypes has nothing to do with Japanese culture and it's not like there's a lack of Japanese literature about LGBTQ themes, plus there are a ton of manga like Fukaboku or authors like Gengoroh Tagame where you can really tell that they are either part of the Japanese LGBTQ community or are still in the closet but know their stuff.

And I mean, it's not like I'm saying that the author has to specifically adhere to more common western views on the matter or that they can't do what they want with their manga; just that if you're gonna waste the back cover of your first volume with a big ass LGBT sign, well, you're telling people who pick up your volume at a Japanese library that you're probably gonna tackle the theme in a more serious way.

Take Himegoto by Norio Tsukudani as an example: most of the volume covers depict a cute female presenting boi with a very easy to spot bulge. I'd be really dumb to expect serious content from this kind of presentation and I really enjoyed Himegoto since from the get go I knew what kind of product I had before my eyes.

A really poor attempt at humor that borders on trolling.
Feel free to read over the rules and try to be a bit more thoughtful when the urge to shitpost strikes.
