love to see cis dudes read 8 entire chapters of a manga about crossdressing, out of all the manga on the site, and then when a trans character appears they get mad in the comments when we talk about our experiences
go read some shounen if you don’t like it?
lol we’re all so used to mangas being stretched out as long as possible that we interpret any kind of plot development as a sign things are being axed and we’re not wrong
Narratively, it makes sense if this is about where Aiko meets Nao.
And I reckon Nao’s take is to go “yep, that’s me!” and we get an arc of Aiko being hurt by this and realising that if Mao had admitted to it in the first place, that would have been a lie too.
and/or we get some Mao crisis...
the whole film arc felt like a reconcile between shitty early Kazuya and who he wants to become, but it sure feels like he’s not learned as much as we’d hoped
this boy’s gonna have a vision of pumping his mom the first time he gets laid, hoo boy.
he’s gonna witness his own conception.
presumably then he’ll die, Ninomae has a kid, that kid starts having flashbacks in high school and meets a manga-club girl who likes him.....
