Wonderful translations. The story and characters are just no good. There's nothing more to the main character than her inferiority complex and obsession with her own looks that sends her into a downward spiral when she isn't the center of attention. Somehow, wearing lip balm and nice scarves makes you a crossdresser (?). And if being tall, having big feet, and a lower-pitched voice makes you a man than I guess quite a few women are actually men then.
