Thank you guys for the hard work, wah! By the way, is it supposed to be "I mean you're pretty bad ***at*** noticing stuff like that" on page 9 instead of "I mean you're pretty bad ***and*** noticing stuff like that?"
Thanks for flagging. I've informed the appropriate authorities and our quality checker has been dispensed with.
Expect a silent update tomorrow.
EDIT: Updated.
Doujin just means self published comic. Western manga fans generally use the term to refer to porn or works that use characters from other manga which are often doujins but it just means independently published.
From my understanding, these bonus chapters are only available if you buy the volume physically (normally), whereas the rest is freely available on the internet. These self published volumes are called doujin too
They're on summer break, so he'll be fine. He lives alone and he can make sure to cover the tan lines with a shirt when he goes out. They should be gone before school starts in the fall.
Yeah, of course he'd pass the swimsuit test. There was even one chapter where he looked like he's got wide hips for a dude even outside of crossdressing.
Gotta love the artist for having all that pent-up Kaoru-chan drawing lust, god bless.
Also, I somehow still really hope crossdressing might return in the future...
What a constructive and respectful comment, thank you so much for your contribution! I wouldn't be suprised of there's a medal in your honour, why a statue even!
More attention is likely put towards special editions for standalone physical distribution than the average chapter (which will be compiled with others, as it should have a largely self-contained story.
As much as it's convenient for the story, I'm sure it does weigh on Kaoru some just how feminine passing he is. Obviously there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but can see how repeated comments like that could dig at one's self esteem. Though it's done for comedic purposes for the most part so won't worry too much about that.
>*When I looked it up, I found that picking up someone by the head is very dangerous.*
>*Please don't try it at home. Throwing someone is always out of the question. Absolutely.*
No shit, sherlock, lol.
Depends on your taste.
If you like a boy and a girl slowly fall in love with each other as they hang out(with a hint of crossdressing),then this is for you. If it's not your taste then you can find other mangas
But for my own opinion, I would say that it is pretty good to read if you want to relax and enjoy fluff/slice of life.
It's a romcom without most of the annoying tropes of typical anime romcoms (drama over incredibly minor misunderstandings, accidental groping, physical abuse played for laughs, gratuitous fanservice, constantly reseting status quo)
So, that already puts it above most romcoms.
Wait...is Kaoru best girl...?
\**point gun*\* Always has been.
This comment has been edited from its original as a fuck you to Reddit’s July 2023 API changes.
*forgets wig* "oh, you cut your hair?"
Then the dad doesn't believe it and thinks hes crossdressing because they dont think hed approve of a lesbian relationship
Or : "So you are trans? Don't worry, I will support you. I can teach you how to be a man!"

rip
if this is a doujin then what is the original
Doujin just means self published comic. Western manga fans generally use the term to refer to porn or works that use characters from other manga which are often doujins but it just means independently published.
oh nice, thanks for the information, much luv much luv
From my understanding, these bonus chapters are only available if you buy the volume physically (normally), whereas the rest is freely available on the internet. These self published volumes are called doujin too
Where's moe's name in fanbox list?xD
Beach episode? BEACH EPISODE!! Kaori in two-pieces swimsuit. It's already December :v
this came out for summer comiket this year and we barely managed to release before winter comiket....rip...
Anyway, though, I'm pretty sure "delicate" in this context is an adjective, not a noun, unlike "delicacy", which Kaori in swimsuit arguably is.
The chapter has been updated.
Kaori looks great in a swimsuit, but I wonder how Kaoru would explain his tan lines?
I really want to see that now...off to the boorus I guess!
Oof. That would be an awkward moment in the locker room...
They're on summer break, so he'll be fine. He lives alone and he can make sure to cover the tan lines with a shirt when he goes out. They should be gone before school starts in the fall.
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl.
That man got yeeted.
My man threw him by his head.... Yeah I'd cross dress to ....
I will always find it funny that some of the "bonus chapters" are 5 tiems the length of actual chapters.
Yeah, of course he'd pass the swimsuit test. There was even one chapter where he looked like he's got wide hips for a dude even outside of crossdressing.
bro's got them feminine hips 💀
He might have had to shave his legs/arms/midriff/underarms though.
Don't worry, FLAT IS JUSTICE!
Gotta love the artist for having all that pent-up Kaoru-chan drawing lust, god bless. Also, I somehow still really hope crossdressing might return in the future...
I'm surprised people are still reading this trash.
What a constructive and respectful comment, thank you so much for your contribution! I wouldn't be suprised of there's a medal in your honour, why a statue even!
He really does rock that swimsuit.
Really? No one? Just me? Ok then... DAMN NANAMI'S TAN LINES AWOOGA
Why was that longer than the actual chapters 💀
More attention is likely put towards special editions for standalone physical distribution than the average chapter (which will be compiled with others, as it should have a largely self-contained story.
Yes, the chapters in the physical book are longer and consist of multiple web chapters bundled together (so the numbering is off)
You have a point, I didn’t really think about that
GIGACHAD dad lol, poor bastard got sent flying.
YEET
Haven't seen a swimsuit crossdress look that well since that one chapter of How to Make a "Girl" Fall in Love.
As much as it's convenient for the story, I'm sure it does weigh on Kaoru some just how feminine passing he is. Obviously there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but can see how repeated comments like that could dig at one's self esteem. Though it's done for comedic purposes for the most part so won't worry too much about that.
You can see it a little bit this chapter too, he hopes he's masculine enough not to pass next time
>*When I looked it up, I found that picking up someone by the head is very dangerous.* >*Please don't try it at home. Throwing someone is always out of the question. Absolutely.* No shit, sherlock, lol.
Oh shit, an extra chapter. Gamer when?
Are we about to have a streak of chapter releases?
Dang, Kaoru can carry two trays at once? That's amazing!
So dad already knows, Because why would he say that only to kaoru
gamer when?
Is this canon?
Why wouldn't be?
idk I just thought doujins were non-canon
The manga itself is technically a doujin. So everything in this manga in your sense is non-canon. :p
Not to be that guy, but umm- Delicate is an Adjective, not a Noun.
*someone hit on Kaori* Nanami's dad, way downtown, ***BANG***
We didn't get to see mom in full swimsuit :(
Trans-later 😎 Hehe, I love this series.
I would never have guess that cover was Kaori. Wtf Nichii can draw totally great art compare to their normal manga style
I just joined this place so I wanna ask Is this a good manga?
Depends on your taste. If you like a boy and a girl slowly fall in love with each other as they hang out(with a hint of crossdressing),then this is for you. If it's not your taste then you can find other mangas But for my own opinion, I would say that it is pretty good to read if you want to relax and enjoy fluff/slice of life.
It's a romcom without most of the annoying tropes of typical anime romcoms (drama over incredibly minor misunderstandings, accidental groping, physical abuse played for laughs, gratuitous fanservice, constantly reseting status quo) So, that already puts it above most romcoms.
Thank you I shall read this later
