I don't 'get' this one: I know that Midori has two men in her life...one she is suppose to marry who wishes her to dress more feminine, and one she barely knows who likes her 'boyish' regular style, but also request she not wear girly things. So, aren't they both not accepting her for whoever she chooses to be?

But I think I'm missing something in my understanding...

I did like the fact that the pairing was cross-generational and had an atypical character body type for a sexual relationship.

quite subtle this was...the art and the story....can't understand what the mangaka wants to say in the end

i agree with the previous poster

I think the point is about gender and sexuality. Midori is a girl, but she presents and prefers to present in a more masculine way. She is engaged to a guy who insist she act in a fundamentally different way than what she's comfortable with (feminine). On the table for Midori is marriage to this guy, who seems to be quite desirable. He's much more handsome than our male MC.

Onto him. Our male MC (I really can't remember his name) is not the classic hero, he's older, overweight, short, and seemingly awkward (saying this to contrast with Midori's fiancé in terms of who Midori should "classically" want) but good-natured and kind. It seems to be gay or inclined toward men until he strikes up a relationship with Midori (he states he hasn't had sex with a woman in 20 yrs but also that he's not gay but also tells Midori to not be feminine and comments of the fact she presents masculine but also is in some financial-support relationship with a flashy younger man who offers to sleep with him, although the guy refuses and says their relationship isn't like that although it's not clear why else this guy is supporting him).

Midori finds someone who accepts her for who she is and the guy maybe gets some clarity on his sexuality. They accept each other as is. Maybe that's the point?
