I don't think Kei-chan has to be dense(r than usual) to miss what Noel is saying. Even Noel and one of her friends had never heard of that "The moon is beautiful." thing until ten minutes ago, right before Kei-chan came into the room. The last thing Noel said before that phrase was being outside was an "opportunity", but it makes perfect sense for Kei-chan to think she just means this is their chance for Yuri Moongazing. That may be why Noel said it--nothing helps a "confession" more than a 90% it won't be understood as such. And either way, our hero/ine finally knows neither Eito nor Noel is attracted to the other, and openly consider each other competitors for Uesugi's time. I suspect they'll be sidetracked in love matter when they realize their two best friends kind of hate each other.

Their "wishes" were not actually phrased as requests nor do they have the word "wish" ("Wouldn't it be great if Kei-chan was a girl?", "Being a girl must be nice.", and "I'd rather be a girl."), which is funny given how English-language fiction about wishes/orders tends to be super-focused on exact wording.

Looking over chapter 1 again, I do believe Keisuke's right that Tobi was thinking of Noel's wish when granting his. I figure the timeline is something like:

1. As younger children, the trio played together in the shrine, making Tobi somewhat familiar with them.
2. By elementary school, Noel saw being boys gave Eito more time with Keisuke, so she wished Keisuke was a girl. Tobi didn't grant it, as she had no reason to believe Keisuke would be accept that.
3. In middle school, Keisuke shows up the shrine alone for the first time in years. After making a bunch of regular wishes Tobi didn't care about, her ears perked up when Keisuke mentioned being rejected by Noel and wishing they could talk together regularly again. Tobi was completely ready to take Keisuke seriously when he "joked" that he'd rather be a girl if Noel sees him as one anyway, because then they'd be better friends. Tobi granted the wish because she thought it would be a twofer, and maybe to make up for dismissing the idea previously. (lol, imagine Keisuke gets the 1000-yen bill back but can't be a boy again unless they also get Noel's offering)
4. Keisuke comes back and complains the same day, and Tobi is annoyed she was right the first time. Not wanting to get into Noel's old wish, Tobi lies and says she picked the "be a girl" wish to grant because she forgot the rest.

We already knew Keisuke's wish was in response to Noel's comment to her friends, now the story doubles down on "Keisuke became a girl because Noel wanted him to be." But Noel still doesn't know, and Kei-chan does enjoy being a girl when they get to be together. I will also point out that, for all Noel's insistence that Kei-chan is a girl now and gushing over how cute she it, Noel also made it clear in the mall trip that Uesugi does not need to act or dress more feminine to fit in.

Still, Noel is being bizarrely insensitive to Keisuke's wishes, which should eventually cause friction instead of just being a very strange thing for their relationship as girls to be based around.

Poor Eito watching this girl do accidenta magic forcefem on his best homie. I would be mad too.

Idk about that last one

You registed to the forum (with a mundane name + numbers in it) just to say something as non-commital as that?

If you don't like the idea just say so, Jose McNumbers.

Myself, I want every TS manga to end with everyone as a girl.

Ad hominem much? I just said idk about the last one bro. Chill

 

[MidnighTea]

Ad hominem is a logical fallacy wherein someone says "your point is wrong because of you", which is fallacious reasoning because of a non-sequitur in an argument. No debating is happening here so logical fallacies largely don't apply regardless. Neither of us has made a contention the other is refuting.

I'm just expressing awed disbelief your registered to the MD forum just to give a non-committal negative response to the cool thing I like.

Also, for the record? I'm not your bro, bro.

Ad hominem isn’t just "your point is wrong because of you." It specifically refers to attacking someone's character or personal traits instead of addressing the argument itself. Logical fallacies are flaws in reasoning that can occur in any type of argument, not just formal debates, so they apply regardless of the situation.

Also, just to clarify, this is a MangaDex forum, so there's no need to take things too seriously. I didn’t create this account solely for that reason, and I don’t feel obligated to provide a perfectly clear answer every time I say something. Also was the bro thing really something to comment on.

That said, it’s totally fine if you prefer every TS manga to end with everyone as a girl—I didn’t mean to come off as whatever you might have thought and I am sorry if that is what it came off as. I hope we can move past this and that you enjoy the rest of your day! Ps: I won't be replying after this message.

No...? Ad hominem is specifically a form of logical fallacy. I know the term is casually used to mean "don't attack the other person when they're making a point" but it's actually viable in a debate to insult the other person, so long as the insult isn't making implications about their argument. That's kind of a fine line admittedly, since it can come off as poisoning the well. (a related fallacy)

Just struck me that this was your first post, basically telling me off. You can't blame me for thinking that's why you registered the account. But you know what, that's an extremely civil response and honestly I apologize for potentially making you feel unwelcome. Enjoy your time here, this is a very nice forum.
