Kawashima is shaper than she lets on. Still, its weird to think that she knowingly let her little brother crossdress as her for year and maybe even wear her panties.
I dont think she knows about wearing panties. Probably just assumes he's still wearing boxers underneath
That said the fact she still lets him crossdress as her without ever confronting him about it is something else entirely

It's low-key genius that Manaka is all on her own when it comes to the boy she actually likes.

At the very least, it's a novel take on the MC being a dense motherfucker. Maybe, one time too often, the author read a comment under a lesser romcom to the effect of "How could MC miss a sign this obvious? Don't they have romcoms in this universe?" and set out to prove that comment wrong in particular. This MC does read romcoms, and it clearly isn't helping!

Others have said it better, but just to pile on: Brava to Manaka, and to the mangaka for a very nifty surprise twist. Here's hoping sis-con gets therapy instead of continuing this freaky tsundere act.

If my older sister finds out that I cross dress as her I'd kill myself on the spot ngl.
How about
your unrequited childhood crush
?

“And he’s the type to dilute his shampoo with water when it runs out”

Ex-fucking-cuse me??? Who on earth doesnt do that??? Shampoo doesnt grow on trees
If there are enough detergent molecules left in the bottle to get your hair clean and this is just a way to get them all out, why would anyone be offended by "not wasting"? :thonk:

On one hand im happy this didnt turn into a full on subplot
On the other i question why this was focused on to begin with if it was going to be resolved in a couple chapters
Is the fact that she subverted expectations supposed to make up for the lack of depth?
Feels a bit too quick for my liking
Keep subverting mangaka-kun but please write an arc for the subversion

I also like the fact she's sharper than she lets on, and it gave me a smile to misread the typo as "Kawashima is shapelier than she lets on". (But that'll have to wait for the onsen chapter.)

Until it's proven otherwise I'd really prefer to think he doesn't wear her underwear… but after a reread, I have to echo it being weird that she knew about him impersonating her and didn't tell him to stop. Especially when she noticeably still doesn't tell him to stop doing it.

"I'm not the same me from the past anymore! That's why I want you to stop badmouthing others."

Usually it’s a bit of a cop-out to have conflicts resolved so quickly, but this time the level of convoluted BS that was about to happen got completely evaporated and I feel great about it.

…you want more of sis-con? 🤯

Please feel free to mentally write such an arc, and I sincerely hope it's enjoyable. Not my preference, though.

I think this was a great resolution. He only cross dressed for things that she herself said she wasn't able to handle and that's been happening for a while but now she's proclaiming that she's stronger now and that he can ease up. That's character growth! So it may have been bullshit but it was a great way to show the character is moving and growing! Plus I like that it was Kawashima that resolved it not Kimura. She can fight her own battles and get results on her own. She's not a damsel in distress and her getting pulled around by Kimura on his romance manga shenanigans is an active choice and she's not just passively letting the story happen to her. I think that's pretty good!

Read my first sentence please
I just thought if they were going to do the bit at least commit to it
But I'd rather they didnt do this bit at all
Or tone down his siscon-ness to a degree
i dont flat out hate him for being one he's just an overbearing siscon
Now he's kinda going to meander with no real growth until we get back to ei-kun's childhood friend debacle
Or he just joins mc's harem
