Episode 10 of Senpai wa Otokonoko was surprisingly not as painful as the episodes preceding it. I mean, it still hurt, but it was a cathartic sort of pain this time, if that makes sense?

But I really wish someone would tell Ryuji that he’s not gross for having a crush on Makoto.

Like, please. This boy’s internalized homophobia is so strong. He needs someone to tell him that it’s okay, that whether he’s gay or bi or whatever, his friends will still love and support him.

Maybe Saki can have that talk with him, since she seems to also be bisexual (tho also on the aro spectrum.)

But Makoto also needs to have that conversation with Ryuji. Tho it seems like Makoto also seems to think that their problems would be solved “if only I was a girl” which like…

Makoto. My beloved nonbinary queen. I know gender and sexuality is still new to you, but you have already determined that you want to be neither a boy nor a girl. So why does it matter? Ryuji loves you no matter what, regardless of gender.

Idk, these three teens would seriously benefit from an older queer mentor in their lives. Someone who can teach Makoto about genders outside the gender binary, someone who can teach Saki about the aromantic spectrum, and someone who can reassure Ryuji that it’s okay for him to be bisexual, that it’s not gross for two men (or one man and one AMAB enby person) to be in love.

this series made me realize how lucky i am to have an understanding family. i can totally relate to the main character. i don't like feminine stuff even though i was born female.

when i was around five, my mom made me wear a one-piece swimsuit. my family was gushing over how adorable i was, but wearing it only made me uncomfortable, so i started crying. my mother later on noticed that i didn't really like what other girls would typically like so she stopped buying me "girly" stuff. she never bought me dolls, i would only receive such gifts from other people. she never bought dresses or skirts. i only ever wore skirts as part of our uniform when i was in grade school and high school. she would also allow me to use my older brother's hand-me-down clothes. and instead of giving me ladies' shoes, she gave me rubber shoes as her graduation gift. and when we were out shopping for clothes, she would directly go to men's clothing if ever i wanted to buy shirts (she also knows how much i hate wearing blouses xd).

my entire family is supportive of what i wanted and they don't impose what's supposed to be "normal". when my oldest sister tried putting makeup on my face when i was in third grade (it was a special occasion), i started crying (again, lol I'm such a crybaby) and then my father told her to just let me be. my other sister's in charge of choosing clothes for me because i don't know anything about fashion. she knows what i like and what style i am comfortable wearing. when it is necessary to wear formal dresses, i leave it to my sisters to choose the most comfortable dress they could find for me.

and this right here... i'm pretty sure there are still people out there who thinks like this. fortunately, not in our family. we were raised by our parents to learn how to do household chores regardless of our gender. if one knows how to cook, and so are the others. we don't divide household chores based on gender. if I can cook, so can my brothers. if I can iron my own clothes, so can my brothers. and yes, my father did household chores when he was still alive and he's also hands-on when it comes to taking care of us. when it comes to school events, this is how my parents divide their time: school events for boys will be attended by my mother, and school events for girls will be attended by my father. i think it's pretty cute. i really am lucky to have cool parents like them. ^^

i've yet to read the manga but so far, the story is pretty interesting. it's very relatable and depicts things close to reality. i was already emotional watching the first episode. i am looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes. i do hope the manga will publish an official English translation because I don't think the anime can cover the entirety of this series in one season.
