Firstly, this is a daily-published strip: one page of usually four panels per day; thence the huge number of chapters; be not put off by that too much. I will say that it started off not as great as it became, but it progressively became better. It started as a typical trap love-story: character meets other character; mistakes other character's sex; other character casually reveals actual sex, and they get closer together. The story quickly gets more political however: the author originally wanted to call the story "Freedom" — in English — but the publisher recommended against this. At first, I was not too impressed with thesupposed "freedom message" — what is there to be found in "freedom from gender roles" be all thereof merely males trying their hardest to be indistinguishable from female social expectations, wearing female clothes and taking effort to adopt female social mannerisms? That's not freedom; that's conformance yet again — however, in the end the strip did put my concerns to rest as that's the twist. Yuuki starts out basically being indistinguishable from "female" but it's eventually revealed that Yuuki isn't actually trying to act and sound female, and that apart from the clothes that's just how he naturally behaves, and he's an otokonoko Wunderkind that needs not in any way alter his mannerisms or voice — eventually, Yuuki appears more and more in male coded-clothing and anything in between as well and just dresses however he pleases.

Yuuki's backstory in flashbacks and his relationship with his grandparent is also very moving; I also like that the strip doesn't make it all about gender, but also highlights the parallels with Yuuki being pressured to dye his natural blond hair black, to conform more to Japanese expectations.

There are also many other relationships apart from the Yuuki–Mayu relationship that are given prominence and development, and many other characters do find more of their freedom throughout the story and learn to cast aside various expectations they placed upon themselves for no good reason.
