[Nick86]

[Lampan]

Damn, was not ready for that NSFW at the end there, way too lewd.

 

[OniBarubary]

Too lewd for the 'gram!

 

[Hikki94]

Page 7 Holy fuck that escalated quickly lol, and the end was great ?

 

[Alraisen]

Douman Saiman seems to be pretty intense on his pro trans views, from what I gather. Wondering if he himself may have such an attraction to the idea.

 

[kwendy]

I want to tsukkomi "That's where the punchline is!?"

 

[CELUQUUEN]

class prez is so annoying
all up in everyone's business

 

[moikkai]

You're not truly trans if you've never buried someone alive, change my mind.

 

[ericagoldfarb]

oh shit, she's the dude that bullied the chess guy from chapter 2! The plot thickens...

 

[ryouhira]

@Nick86 SO THAT GUY IS ACTUALLY BURIED ALIVE?

 

[Nick86]

Seems so.

 

[Quelandoris]

Bully was trans all along and friend-kun says fuck you, TERF-pres

 

[Zennofska]

What a twist!
Also obligatory trans rights

Absolutely baffled at some people in these comments. A character explicitly says that their reason for wishing to magically turn into a girl had nothing to do with wanting to be a girl, but was instead a way to hopefully avoid reigniting their previous conflict if Takeru ever returned. It's a pretty original short story: A homosexual boy fails to express his love (which became bullying instead) and sees becoming a girl as a way to avoid conflict if ever reuniting so he could apologize.

What do people in the comments do with this premise? Wring out every bit of uniqueness and creativity by rigidly mischaracterizing Kanbaru as simply trans instead, because every story with a gender swap element can only mean that. Just like boys with 'girly' hobbies must be gay. It's a stupid and reductive attitude that spits on the effort the author put into making something original.
