| At first I thought that Doi was going to kiss Nitori and I was like YEAAAHH, but no, he's an asshole. NEXT EPISODE IS GOING TO BE EPIC. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| it takes a lot of courage what those two did, what a great episode! |

| I have a feeling the last two episodes are going to be difficult to watch. I like all the characters, and it looks like shit is going to happen. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Quite decent episodes though, but what's up with Doi anyway? |
 |
| I feel so sorry for Nitorin ;~; it really sucks that Takatsuki can do it but he can't. Hoping the ending's not too sad. |
| Jeez I was scared for Nitori when he was alone with Doi, I had a feeling he'd make a move but so glad he didn't. Heh, I bet Doi is gonna be full out gay by high school. This episode really does do a good job at looking at double standards. The contrast between how Nitori was treated for dressing up as a girl vs. Takatsuki dressing up as a boy was pretty spot on with society's standards. My heart was pounding for Nitori as he approached the school dressed as a girl. He just wanted to express who he really was and honestly he looks very natural as a girl. |
 |
| Doi is an interesting guy...he wanted to see Nitori cross dress, how weird. Even though he called Nitori cute and told him that he should go to school dressed like a girl, I still have my doubts about him. I really hope he doesn't tease or something. Society and its double standards :/ really sucks for Nitori. But he's really brave to do so, even after consulting Chi-chan and Takatsuki, who both told him that it's different for boys to dress likes girls than for girls to dress like boys. |
| Doi is falling for Nitori |
| I was so tense so much so that took me the story! Unfortunately, although there are equal opportunities is not the same thing, poor thing. Plot increasingly evolving, so weak to follow the line that is ambiguous figure out what the characters think, very good. Curious to know what's going to happen now for Nitori. The revelation of Yuki has left me a bit puzzled, then imagine Doi ... Drawings, animations and backgrounds, really good. For once, Chii-chan has more space in the narrative. |
 |
| well then... this show is definitely something else |
| They took him to the nurse's office... daym. That was brave, though :) But yeah, that DOUBLE STANDARD and DISCRIMINATION--DISGUSTING. |

Pixshi said: Double standards really sickens me. true fucking story Good for Nitori anyway, though. I admire his courage. |

| Poor Nitorin. Nobody bats an eye when Chi-chan goes to school wearing a boy's uniform or wears a bikini during P.E. swimming class but they immediately send him home and think he's sick. |
| 臭い- |
| i admire nitori's courage and his risk to expose the double standard that's upheld |
| ayy poor nitori! :( that post-credits scene.. |
| I love how honest the characters are. They discuss their problems with each other, but they don't get overly dramatic about it neither. A lot of the issues are very matter-of-fact, and they address them without over reactions. At the same time though, they're serious when they have to be, and those moments are met with a more solemn tone rather than anything accusational or flippant. They're all very direct without sidestepping the issues they're confronting. They don't soften their words, but they don't try to hurt each other. I think other shows would have had the characters yell and cry a LOT more for dramatic reasons. I'd presume the reason would be to garner attention and create focal points on dramatic moments, but it comes across as trying too hard to seem interesting. They just don't feel real, coming across as artificial ways to make an otherwise uncommon event seem more absurd than it was. Here, events are plain to see, and the characters react appropriate to how they may have in real life. I'm not sure how else to describe these interactions. They just feel...natural. |
| it was kind of sad how people treat girl and boy not equally.... |
| Bro this show is giving me emotional anguish and I'm a complete cis straight male. The post credits scene is just too cruel. This show is honestly incredible. It manages to cover such difficult topics without making it be overly depressing. At least not yet... Man I gotta read the manga start to finish after this. |
| Nitori finally went to school as her true self, only to be sent home. The world can accept a transgender man, but everybody looks at transgender women, like me, as some sort of freak. I can only imagine what it would be like if I had realized that I was trans back when I was Nitori's age, and how I would've been ridiculed in school if people knew my secret, and I was ridiculed enough in school as it was. |
 |
| The bully might have known what was going to happen and that's why he wanted Shu to dress as a girl, or so I think, I can't buy he being supportive. |
