Note: Since this volume is raised, I will use his/her pronoun in this comment, which is what Makoto uses.
Gender can be a manifestation. Due to the gender norms prescribed by society, even if you identify it as Cisgender, although of course, if you identify as trans, non-binary, or gender fluid, that is certainly a more obvious problem. For Makoto, the protagonist pom‘ The main reason is the boy: Mys class is central.showing gender is even more difficult. Since he was a kid, Makoto’s Amab was attracted to something called “Girly” and just let his mother knock him down every time. “Average boys shouldn’t want high heels and clothes,” he said. But Markto Do Want these things to be presented more comfortably in a feminine way.
Based on Makoto’s pronoun, he does not seem to identify it as a woman. But it was obvious that it was much more comfortable for him to travel through and use female body language, and as the book continued, this body language became clearer and clearer. The scene ending the first episode of the anime adaptation (at least in terms of printing before the original material), McTor changes from his girl’s uniform and wig, looking like a boy at the end of school, telling him his true self to be “a good night” until the book doesn’t happen, like the creator, which may not be known on this guidance. In the first half, the focus was on Saki, a high-energy first-year girl who admitted to Makoto and then didn’t care what his gender was. It’s as if the story costs more comedy (or “comedy” if you find Saki annoying).
At this point in the story, Saki represents an uncertainty about how to be a possible ally of a person. Makoto’s childhood friend Ryuji understands why Makoto has to keep his decoration in the package and he doesn’t want to be the focus of attention, but Saki’s blind passion for everything Makoto has brought no these boundaries. She was also fascinated by the girl and the boy Makoto. This is the person she likes, not the body, but she is also so naive that she doesn’t realize that others aren’t that kind of. Ryuji repeatedly told her not to make public calls in public, which Saki was unable to follow, and although we know her heart was in the right place, her actions were not. It’s hard to watch, and perhaps even more so, as McTor retains most of his feelings about the subject. Of course, it can be understood as Ryuji’s attempt to “save” Makoto from Saki, which makes the volume so interesting part of being a lot of potential explanations of the character’s behavior. Maybe they all just acted with each other, but they didn’t realize they did.
The most difficult part of the book is at Makoto’s home, when he performed childhood for his mother. He deliberately stole a piece of chicken while cooking because it was made by the boy, and she giggled at his “masculinity” with obvious pride. Later, he corrected his sitting position on the sofa, spreading his knees apart, lazily adopting a more “male” position when his first more comfortable instinct was to sit down with his knees together. A good reminder that “home” is not always a safe place, and when Saki comes over, there is a driven home (as per Rigi’s request, presumably to show her why her silence is important), McTot’s mom turns happily, affim This is her son’s girlfriend, treating her like the long-awaited queen. It’s terrible, uncomfortable, Do Even though she didn’t fully understand, Saki understood what Makoto was dealing with.
Senpai is Otokonoko Beginning its life as a web station, which means that in this traditional book, some of the remains of the vertical scroll format are mainly in terms of paneling. It’s also full-color, which helps watch what he likes in moments like Little Makoto – his world is grey, pink splashes. This helps to emphasize his disconnection, but also reinforces what he told Saki more or less in Chapter 1: He makes others uncomfortable, and he himself is uncomfortable with this fact.
It’s the kind of series I totally expect to see in its ten-volume runs. It’s as much as learning comfort levels and respect, like learning who you are or who you want to be, even in this volume, you can see the creator pom Adjust the narrative process. We just hope Makoto can find a way to not like acting and everyone can accept it.
