When Nanaki woke from the coma, he found out the world had changed. After a night of sleep, he realizes the cross-dressing boom wasn’t just a dream. People talk about cross-dressing even on TV. The world belongs to those who want to be cuter.
And even at home, he’s not safe from cross-dressing. His mom bought the girl’s uniform for him, and even cute matching socks. I don’t know if I mentioned, but nice that a boy’s school has the girl’s uniform. Wonder if the school made one after the CD boom.
Of course, Nanaki isn’t happy, but after hearing the uniform cost 128.000 yen (that’s over a thousand U$ dollars!) he wears it “grudgingly”.
As he goes to school, he sees a couple of primary school girls talking and running. Of course, they’re actually boys. And then he sees girls from the track club… from his school. Yeah, they’re guys. Nice.
We’re introduced to a new character, Yuizaki Ren, the captain of the track club, who’s complaining they don’t have a manager. He starts to flirt with Nanaki, saying he’d love to have a cutie like him as their manager.
Yeah, boys
Hikaru gets jealous and pulls Nanaki away (the harem (?) is slowly increasing)
When they get to school, Nanaki says he wants to enter the cooking club because while he was in a coma, his mom went through a rough time, so he wants to learn how to cook and do it in her place once in a while.
They go to the club and we’re introduced to another character, Moezume Shinji, who’s the president. The club is the third biggest club in school. After the CD boom, there were a lot of boys who “play boyfriends” or “play romance” entered so they could learn how to cook. (I hope we get to see a couple “playing”)
We also find out that Moezume is “dating” Ren, though he denies it. But once he hears Ren was hitting on Nanaki, he got weird.
Yandere mode on
In perfect timing, Ren came to get something to eat after the morning training, and Moezume is so mad he goes after him with a knife. Turns out before the cooking club, Moezume was part of the track club and was #1 in all the country.
In the last panel, we find out Ryou-kun is having nightmares because of his stolen kiss.
Chapter 3 was fun, we got to know a bit more about how the boys adjusted to the CD boom and were introduced to a few more characters.
I liked how the author is introducing the cast. This is important to slice-of-life manga to have good and interesting characters. But I still wish there were more pages.
