I see no one in the first pages talking about how this show dared talk about taboo subjects such as homosexuality and being a travesty!
They delivered the message in a very smooth way.


It did a very fine job. And it even drawed a relationship between sexuality and art. This is maybe my favorite episode for the moment.

New characters are fine, like the new teacher. First half had abysmal pacing but they calmed down a bit. They reveal Yuka is a boy but my pp is still hard.

Hmm studying art is sure a difficult matter, but seems like Yaguchi found some "friends" to train with him, it's gonna be hard but I hope they can do it.
What do you expect Ryuuji... this is basically tricking people not telling them something that important, I mean not surprising the guy got afraid if he's only into women.

Fuck, the episode ended in the best part. I'm enjoying this "arc" a lot.

Comments saying "trap" "betrayed" doesn't sit right with me. Ryuuji had never once said they were a woman. Y'all expect a "man" to look/axt a certain way and a "woman" to another. that's just a social contract; not everyone has to abide by the rules you've set out. And when someone doesn't, you call that a "trap"?! I'm just really glad that we're getting some lgbtqia+ representation.

This episode was really good, but couldn't help but feel like loads of things had been cut out. It seemed way too fast of a pace, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Yaguchi certainly 'befriended' some eccentric people.

Trap characters are most often comic relief so it's nice to see the serious side of being transgender like Ryuuji.

Well i do support ryuji dressing as whatever he likes but... you cant expect a guy who doesnt know youre a guy to easily accept it if hes straight. I think it would help to be more open about crossdressing and loving it and start seeing at as your way of art. Kinda like rupaul dragqueens enjoy it in their way and are proud of it. Not saying its easy to do so, so guess they wanted to show that? Then it felt rushed.. i mean i would first talk to the guy seeing if hes into guys before confessing personally even if not crossdressing.
But neverthless i felt for ryuji.. so sad. Must be hard to be told to look like a guy and that youre way cuter as a guy wheh you dont want to. I personally cant relate so can only imagine how it feels.
I like ryuji as a character, fleshed out good development and touching moments.

I wonder, do you guys also compare movie adaptions of books to the books? I never get why people go like oh its fast pased as i just read the manga and its missing this and that. Sometimes you cant just stuff everything in but still enjoy it. Its why i usually prefer watching first then reasing to enjoy the anime and be less of a critic.
I bet the manga is more detailed, but isnt that a reason to start reading it? Thats works for me at least, it motivates me. So far the show caught me ^^ its nice.

I loved the teacher here, her instructions are reasonable and she doesnt put him down, she just lets him think and wonder. Good :) we all start somewhere and you cant become a pro in a day.

i didn't realize that was a transgender person. i wondered why the voice was deeper. hmm. i hope it doesn't become a bigger focus of the show. i just want to see painting and stuff

it's good that they introduced some new characters (the other students), but idk, overall i didn't quite enjoy it as much this episode

ITT: weebs still haven't learned the difference between "trap" and "trans person"...

For real. Scrolling this thread made me die a little inside. And conservatives complain that we're teaching kids too much about trans folk in schools. :')

I'm really liking this cast of characters so far. They're quirky and unique. A bunch of interesting weirdos.

I just love the ED though. It's so pleasant and soothing.

Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

Wait... that gal is a guy? HUUUUH??? Would've been too good to be true :D But then again, if i think about it, the majority of eccentric people can be found somewhere in an arts department, so it kinda fits the bill.

She literally said that she would die if the society does not accept her wtf

Also I've read the whole manga, she identifies as a woman but it's portrayed as she's crossdressering to be liked by men and not because of gender dysphoria

I mean, dying if society doesn't accept you isn't a thing that only applies to trans people, it applies to the whole lgbtq community. And that's fair, I have no clue how she's portrayed in the manga. Either way though, if the creator is trying to portray Ryuuji as a trans woman I have to agree it's a bad take since I'm pretty sure trans women aren't trans because they want men to like them and it just kinda reinforces misinformation about transgender people.
the misinformation that transgender people actually look like the gender they want to be? then correct. transgender people look nothing like this. they look like chris from mr beast instead.

I was not prepared by the sudden introduction of a trans storyline. It was not handled as sensitively as I would have liked, but it also was not as bad as some other anime portrayals I've seen.

I continue to like the mellow vibe of this show and I look forward to Yaguchi's further development.

I can't believe it took me 3 episodes to realize Ryuji is an LGBT character... heheh. I thought they were just a girl with a husky deep voice. ^^;
