really not a huge fan of how rushed this shit feels :// i feel like everything had a heavier impact in the webcomic. i'm kind of getting the vibe they're going to attempt to adapt all 100 chapters which would be insane for 12 episodes.
as far as actual content goes, this episode is my least favourite so far, which really sucks because i loved the scene where they dance on the beach in the comic :( things just felt especially cheap in this one. still can't bring myself to like the endless chibi segments/stillframes.
definitely just gonna wind up rereading after this finishes airing.

| @yoroshikus Same, this episode had some of the best moments in the story but I feel like everything just went by really fast. I wouldn't say the webcomic is slow paced, but there was defenitely more time to digest what was happening. I would rather have this anime be better quality and end incomplete, rather than it rushing through or skipping parts to try and fit the entire story in 1 season... I do like the voice acting for all the characters, especially in this episode, it's exactly what I imagined they would sound like. It would've been amazing they did a fully animated scene of them dancing though, bit sad. |

| In this episode, various flashbacks are shown about Makoto who likes feminine things which sometimes causes problems, especially for his mother. However, it turns out Makoto has a father who supports his desires. The proof is by sending Makoto to a school where he can be the gender he wants. One day, Makoto decides to live a normal life as a boy, including at school too. Because he didn't tell anyone about it, everyone there was shocked and their view of him changed, including Makoto's closest friends, namely Aoi and Ryuuji. Seeing that Makoto was a handsome boy, many girls became interested and ended up liking him (our bro is a very lucky guy, he's handsome yet beautiful). But then, he felt quite strange to wear men's things. In other words, he still can't move on from his love for feminine things. Therefore, he decided to return to doing the things he loves.  |

| Gotta love 'official subs' with a clear agenda lol. Manga in the scene where dad questions Makoto about how he wants to live and he suggests the school name, the word 'gender' is never mentioned, but ofc the subtitle says it 'whatever gender you want to live as/identify', which is not what the scene meant of course kek A little bit like ep 1 kept misgendering Makoto as "she" in Aoi's lines, even after she already knew he was a dude, I wonder who did that too, again in the manga she refers to him as a male. Anyway, just when I saw ep 1 and 2 and it didn't seem rushed at all, they rushed it. |

Real question, please spoil it for me if you must, but does the mom ever come around in the story?? I'm so close to dropping this anime because it's legitimately triggering me. I'm non binary myself and my gender dysphoria is too strong for this. That anime woman is legitimately pissing me off so bad I almost feel like I don't wanna watch it anymore
  |
| his "mom" is a stupid hag and don't understand anything. she is acting like her son was some murderer or so while he only like "girly" stuff. fucking conservatives |
| Man, what an episode! Kinda felt like a finale, though apparently it was the original finale before it got continued (as others have mentioned), so hopefully it can keep the momentum going. Look, removing some facial features from background characters is fine and all, but this one literally had a name and even a handful of lines! At least give her some eyes!! Why'd it take the mom 2+ weeks to wash and iron a handkerchief?? The 2 of them are lucky that Aoi's dress is the right size for Makoto. I'd have recommended swapping shoes as well, but the ones he was wearing have more significance so I understand why they didn't. |
 |
| Just a note, the chibi artstyle is the source material artstyle with scarce backgrounds. The staff have to put a decent amount of anime-original details to make it work. |
| what an episode mom being annoying, tho i can see her side of wanting mc to behave like a boy, but she really goes too far with it "don't put me in an awkward position"... yeah sure, you're totally not doing the same to him dad is pretty cool, he managed to find a school that accepts Makoto the way he wants to be, it's a nice experiment for him to decide what he wants to do in the future Aoi being mad the whole episode lol she obviously knew what Makoto was going through she even got back the trash bag, just when mc was starting to want it back, nice save they used a couple shots from episode 1 (the basketball shot, and the jump on the beach) and i thought it was great finally, the ending, omg when they exchanged clothes, that part was my favorite so far like others said, this is only episode 3, holy shit, this could easily be the season's finale and no one would complain |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

I kid you not, many people would rather have a child with a disability than a LGBTQ child, especially Asian and South Asian parents. |
TheSuave said: Fuck the mother. She reminds me of why I despise religious people. Hating religious people as an entire group is terrible. Not every religious person is f’ed up in the head and just follow their beliefs normally. Someone could say the same thing where they had a bad experience with a couple of gay people and as a result say they hate the entire LGBTQ community. |

| I'll never understand parents who can't support the idea of their children being trans or just wanting to dress like the opposite gender. If you don't care whether your child's a girl or a boy before they're born, why does it matter after they're born? Parents are supposed to love their children unconditionally, and if you're not able to love your child unconditionally then imo you're not fit to have a child. |

| @floral_sacrifice Most parents care about their child's gender before they're born, have you never seen those atrocious gender reveal parties? Also, the abdominal/obstetric ultrasound is used for that too. If we hadn't somewhat evolved since medieval times, the children would've gotten a much worse treatment than not being loved. |

| @RSGX My point still stands, if a parent's going to throw a fit because the child isn't the gender they wanted it to be, they're not fit to have a kid. |

| @FullyCharged He's essentially presenting as the female gender, what's so different about how it is in the anime? |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

| @LostSpectre This would be like saying when women in the 20th century claimed equality, they wanted to present as the male gender. Instead of what they actually wanted, aka normalizing behaviour/presentation/societal role that was considered "for men" as unisex. While still being women. Makoto is the opposite. In a modern western world where gender role equality only progressed in one direction (towards women), things are either gender neutral (manly stuff that women can also do without being considered weird) or feminine (guys doing those are considered weird and antagonized). Makoto wants to live in a world while as a male he can enjoy both sides without being considered weird, like women do. Key word, as a male. A guy wanting to enjoy cute things doesn't have to revolve around gender identity. Unless it is specifically mentioned by the character in 1st person, keep that stuff out. |

| Dad of the year!!! Fr though I love makoto's dad so much being so understanding of him; only wish he could have helped him against his mother :/ but being able to be himself at school is already so huge so bless the dad for that. I still don't love aoi's character but I definitely have more respect for her after this ep - takes a true friend to chase after a garbage truck for you. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Honestly rather predictable in the grand scheme of things but guess it's novel in anime terms. |
| Makoto did a good job with his mother. I don't think she is a good mother. She almost had a mental breakdown from a simple handkerchief. What is wrong with that woman. |

| Aoi's such a great girl, been loving watching her. He got popular as a boy but that not his true self. |
 |
 oh well , not my problem anymore . sayonara senpai! |
| I'm so glad Makoto as ar least one parent that tries to be supportive. I understand that having a kid that is different from the norm and does not confirm to your expectations must not be easy, but the mother is being a little over the top. like not being able to even have some cute stationary or a handkerchief at home is too much. get a grip lady. this episode was good, I had not cried with an anime episode for a while, but this one got me 😭 |

| Of course he can't give up dressing as a girl like that, too bad he'll have to continue hiding his true self from his mother, his father is the goat though |
 |
| This episode felt like it sped through an entire season's worth of events, feeling rather rushed. Now I'm curious to see what they will fill the rest of the season with. I do have my suspicions though. |
| the mother pisses me off , go fuck yourself and goodbye |
 |
| Terrible mom as expected, it was obvious from the moment she opened her mouth on the previous episode. What's crazy is she went out of her way to lift up his bed to find that handkerchief. Literally psychopath behavior. I appreciate that the dad at least is more understanding, but at the same time, he is also just going around the issue by hiding it along with our MC. They need to resolve this, either talk it out and get her to accept, or move on. |
