These last few chapters were when this manga took a MASSIVE plunge. TSF, seriously? I never liked that guy from the gate--as others said, the story was just fine without him; now you have the author drawing characters who obviously look female (even going so far as to give them breasts and an otherwise obviously female physiological appearance) and then calling them "male".
If I said what I really think of this latest instance of that phenomenon, Mangadex's overly sensitive left-wing mods would probably come after me. Suffice to say that it's extremely poor writing.
