I don’t know which is worse with the slow burn, this or Kao ni denai Kashiwada-san to Kao ni deru Ota-kun. Like why can’t these manga be about MC and ML getting together and their happy slice of life stuff afterwards? Or in this case, itsuki/izuki coming to terms with being born a boy and loving a guy and also being alright with being a woman and in kashiwada/oota it could be about them loving each other but having their opposite personalities create funny situations (it’s almost at that point, but they’re not official and neither can admit their love and there hasn’t been a kiss).
