Guys I'm not sure about this one 😭

I know that it was a gag, but they are wrong - if you expose your chest then don't complain that people look

Well, in this case it wasn't supposed to be seen "in public", it was kind of forced on her.

if she did not want to wear it she should have refused - easy, but she agreed, so no one to blame 💁‍♂️. More so, there is one invention that helps you to not be seen if you don't want to - it is called a *** door lock

This is a slice of life romcom. There is no over arching story or plot. It's just about enjoying the charadters and their interactions. There really is no such thing as filler for this type of manga.

This is a slice of life manga. It’s literally all filler, that’s the point. People doing ordinary everyday shit.

Apologies for my ignorance and thank you for the clarification. Still pretty new to some of this stuff, so I will adjust my expectations! Cheers!

It's not exactly a coincidence but more likely the physical realities of the TL process. Typical scanlation drama ultimately but if I were to attempt to TL;DR I'd open the door to all sorts of unwarranted attacks so all I will say is read through the series comments

I miss the maid outfit already

I forgot about that drama and the other group. I blocked their content after their group leader accused a poster of being molested by their uncle. There were many ways to handle the "haters" who were salty about the chapters being taken down, and suggesting they were molested wasn't one of them. Decided to never support that group again.

I miss the maid outfit too

Bro, how hard is it to use context clues? She doesn’t want him seeing the outfit because he’s the one she feels most self conscious around. Did you forget the entire relationship dynamic of these two people who clearly have a crush on each other?

Context clues...? Serious, bro? Yeah, I understand that she's more self-conscious around him. I'm not disputing that. What I'm questioning is why the maid outfit apparently warrants that level of reaction from him when they've already had much more embarrassing and intimate situations together. Like, the time he accidentally saw her changing in the infirmary and saw her in just her bra? Or the time he stood in front of her so the others wouldn't see her "undergarments", only for her to realize that what she thought was a pair of shorts was actually just underwear and that she'd been standing right in front of him like that? I genuinely don't understand how a maid outfit is somehow so much more overwhelming than those situations, but okay.

And honestly, I can admit that I might be more sensitive to this because of other romance manga I've been reading lately, so maybe I'm exaggerating how much this bothers me. But that doesn't change the fact that the two of them have already had moments that were arguably much more embarrassing than this without Kurose reacting like he was witnessing the end of the world. That's why I think this was a missed opportunity. Instead of having him literally pass out for several minutes because she's "stunning" in a maid outfit, the author could have called back to their earlier date, where he couldn't bring himself to tell her she was cute and ended up saying she was cool instead, remember that context? He could have simply told her how cute she looked this time. That would've been funny and actually reinforced their romantic progression, without him FAINTING.

Instead, the joke is basically that she's so overwhelmingly beautiful that, the other two girls, and even the nurse are briefly knocked out by it, while Kurose gets the most ridiculous reaction of all and is apparently out for minutes. And what's even "funnier" is that the actual pervert who was openly staring at her chest doesn't seem to suffer the same fate.

So yeah, maybe I'm overreacting because of other series I've been reading, but I still think it's a wasted opportunity. I don't mind the maid outfit or the fanservice itself. I mind that the manga had a perfect setup to turn it into another cute moment between the two leads, and instead chose to prioritize the gag.
