My hatred for short hair on women blinded me, I'll admit.
That said, what an "image change"--that loathsome phenomenon that's one of the multiple things responsible for turning real women into 3DPD. Imagine having glamorous hair like Haruka's and cutting it to look like a man.
That short hair looked almost identical to Seiji's; minus the tits, Yukiko would have looked like a frail man. And somehow, women like this--and men give it a pass.
