My 'trap radar' is already saying "but he's a guy" repeatedly, so I'm not even shocked about the reveal. Better yet since I did feel like he's a previously established character.
I actually thought he was a man before the skirt panel.
It just meant the author actually tried to draw a "man" in a woman's dress, rather than the usual "trap" of drawing a girl and saying she has a dick.
Man, the mangaka draws him perfectly! High collars and that shoulder... thingy are some of the best options to hide your manliness! Adam's apple, broad shoulders...
@Aoitenshi I mean, even besides that, manga art style is always less detailed than RL (duh), so you could have a much more convincing "disguise" than you would ever IRL
