| i'm pretty sure you are blind. |
| Make five more threads about it. Kobayashi is based on Yoshio Kobayashi, character from Edogawa's books. He is described as androgynous in his works. |
 |
| Another bait thread. I dont know what world u live in where looking feminine means you are homosexual. Whatever, keep being stupid. |

 |
| Idk but i'd fuck da shit outta him/her/it |
| Kobayashi is boy. He's going to be the Hideyoshi(Baka and Test) to me where he looks, talks, and sounds like a girl but I have to keep telling myself he's a boy. |

| Might as well be a girl. Unlike Nagisa from Ansatsu, though that's a bit of a stretch, thus far there doesn't seem to be any way to tell this is a boy. But the character seems a little boring judging from episode 1. Absolutely no reaction to anything that has gone on around him. |

| Girl. |

If she really is a guy then this is just a plain old trap that frankly we're getting too much of lately. It's gonna get old fast if it keeps happening, especially if the trap character also keeps being the MAIN character.FateHero said: Maybe someone should have looked up the word 'androgynous'.

| She's a he. See what I did there? |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |

 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |

| It literally says boy next to his name when he is introduced. |

You're absolutely right. He's drawn as a girl not even as androgynous. It's a full on trap. But what makes it even harder to think he's male is because of his voice. Yes male characters have female seiyuu all the time, but the difference is this seiyuu isn't even trying to sound male its simply a girl's voice. I really don't see why there's an argument about it. The trap is a trap. The end. coolxal said: Is this shounen-ai? The MC is way too feminine to be a boy. I can see why you're thinking shounen-ai. The president totally has a crush on Kobayashi. |
| He was feminine in the original books too wasn't he? |

| I do remember that at least one of the stories had him cross-dress for a case tho, so yeah, he was like that in the books too. |
 |
| Puts even Hime Arikawa to shame :p Seriously now: it has very clear hints of shounen-ai with Hashiba's reactions, though Kobayashi probably doesn't care for it in any manner. |

Takuan_Soho said: Imeon said: He was a trap in the original books too wasn't he? No, a trap is a modern invention. The books with Kobayashi were children's books. In them he was portrayed as an extremely attractive 12 year old boy, so young and fair of face he could pass for a woman, but a boy nonetheless. It would be more accurate to describe him as the original "pretty boy". So he's the original trap ? :O The author sure had good taste :) |

MrNTR said: Sometimes, rhomboidal males are all you need.He was deliberately made effeminate to give yaoi overtones, obviously. Even if he wasn't effeminate, in a series like this, yaoi fans are gonna see yaoi no matter what anyways. Scratch that, yaoi fans are gonna see yaoi no matter what, period. Sometimes it doesn't even require two conical males. |

ADULT Goku was voiced by a girl. Checkmate atheists. A large reason why people say wait for the dubs for Dragon Ball. Goku sounding like a little old lady is idiotic. Shitty voice acting is shitty voice acting. Voice acting is often the worst part of anime, they just don't seem to give a crap about how bad it is. Even Ghibli movies often have several actors so bad you wonder if they were just pulled off the street. |
| It's a boy. |
that butt tho |
| I do think they crossed the line between androgynous and straight up trap with this one. He isn't just a feminine looking guy. He looks like a girl. sounds like a girl. acts like a girl. gets treated like a girl. and dresses like a girl. That may be a guy's blazer and pants, but all of the other guys wear a tie. He's the only one wearing a pink blouse/ ascott thing clearly meant for female students. Androgynous is Hideyoshi from BakaTest or Asuramaru from Owari no Seraph. Feminine looking boy is Totsuka from Oregairu. This is just next tier, lol. |
| just forget about the fact that he has a penis and that everyone calls "him" and you'll be fine. |

| The MC's a guy, but the voice actor is female fwiw. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| The way she looks straight up spells female specially if you look at his/her/it's waist. It's got some curve. She doesn't exactly act girly but not manly either. His/her/it's personality is kind of bothering me. It's kind of inhumane for the MC to remain unphased even if the events are causing excitement in his/her life. I decided to just call it a him to go with the flow and see if the MC gets exposed as female later on. |
| I wish he be more manly like Nagisa or Yuma, Cause I started to think he's a "SHE" and I don't want the end turn out to be plot twist and bamm he a girl. Anime world so unfair with trap everywhere.:l |
 |
| So we all wanna fuck he/she/it, right? Or is it just me? |
| This topic is gonna be Euphonium-level obnoxious, we know what's happened there. Not just this thread, but every thread for every fucking episode. |
