thoughts on the ending? *spoilers*
To be honest the ending was the only thing i liked about this Manga, No offense, the art is decent and the writing is so/so, but i didn't like how 5 out of 10 characters were straight (lol) out Mary Sues and Gary Stues. The plot was pretty much "that guy looks good in girl's clothes" +"classic high-school everyday comedy" with "yes homo" written on it
but it wasn't bad, i just tough it was quite bland and there was nothing i "really" liked about it... except maybe the clothing, classy.

Under normal circumstances, I would never read boys love type manga. However, this seemed different and I enjoyed it for the most part.
About the ending, it was ok. It had a better ending than probably the majority of manga. but it leaves a lot of questions in my mind. Even though they confessed to each other, It seems to me that maki fell for Aikawa mainly because he looks like a cute girl. Maki made it clear many times that he basicly saw her as a girl, but what happens if she stops crossdressing and maki sees Aikawa in his male form? Will, maki still feel the same way.
even though this manga didnt dig deep into the chaallanges ahead,I still thank about them.

The first two questions were answered fairly explicitly...Aikawa cross-dresses because he wants to, and he's guy. Those have been repeated over and over and over again.
The third question is completely irrelevant to the story; trauma is not foreshadowed or hinted at, and being effeminate and weari ...
Yeah, cross dressing is normal (something known to happen from trauma or be done to bully people), tip-toeing around male/female questions 80% of the time for jokes is explicit, and "why do you do this? just because" is an explicit answer. Why do you make bad posts? Just because. Did I just write a manga?

Wait, did you seriously just say cross dressing is caused by trauma or bullying? Yeah, the problem is clearly with the readers and not with the manga...

The ending doesn't make much sense to me. Maki is not attracted to guys. He's not gay. Aikawa doesn't exactly seem to be a transsexual. He calls himself a guy constantly and doesn't seem to be interested in having any surgeries. Why is Maki interested in "doing" him at all, like the epilogue indicates? He's attracted to Maki as the girl he appears to be. He loves "her." I think the penis poses quite the problem and the mangaka pretends that doesn't matter.

You'll find that sexual attraction is not as binary as you make it out to be.

I think I'm old enough to have found or have not found what I will find. lol. The manga just did not address any flexibility or really anything about Maki's sexuality beyond him being uncomfortable with Aikawa being male. Suddenly it's "I love him!" and he's suddenly okay with it?

Uh...
I thought the entire manga was essentially Maki becoming comfortable for his feelings for a crossdressing guy. Sure, I suppose it's "sudden" if you consider 42 chapters sudden.

...he treats him pretty much the same in all 40 chapters. So, uh... you don't have much of a point imho. There's very little character development.

The problem is, what kind of look we could see when Aikawa in his male form? There are time when Aikawa wears the male uniform and we still could see it as a girl wearing male uniform.
So I guess thats just left the option of when Aikawa fully naked only. Now how will Maki see and accept Aikawa.
Well, Maki could always just do Aikawa from behind. 😛
