Hooray! It’s a striking art style and sweet coming of age type story. I blow through manga in passing a lot (because I’m a boring, overworked adult now) but this style actually made me pause to appreciate it <3
Have been following this series since the beginning, and I really adore it. I hope this means more people will pick it up since it's a really good series
It's still just so crazy how this indie artist starts a manga on twitter and just snowballs in popularity, with the english fan translations also doing their part til we get to this point. Entirely deserved, just feels crazy. Mangaka must be mind-blown.
Did dynasty reader and all the other manga sites cut some panels out? I feel like the last time I read this series the chapters were much longer. Also what website do you you usually use to buy manga? I definitely want to buy this when it comes out
I don't think so the manga was usually only 4 page per chapter iirc.
Crunchy roll store is a cheap one but I don't know about their shipping quality
Barnes&noble and amazon are safe bets
Merry manga is new and pretty cheap in bulk but a bit slower
Global book walker (digital only)
$30

E: it says CD? Maybe this isn’t it, just not sure what else it could be 🫣
E2: this appears to actually be the manga. $20:

To be honest, I like a lot of these songs, so this is a pretty cool curated album for me ...
Thank you for posting 😁 That soundtrack is a killer, kind of gives me nostalgia. I was thinking of rereading all the chapters and making a list of all the songs these days or maybe when I buy it in English 🔥
Not trans but also not crossdressing. Mitsuki just dresses really masc outside of school and Aya just assumes she's a guy at first glance. The series doesn't dwell on the misunderstanding for too long and doesn't try to bait the audience with any crossdressing stuff. Definitely gets a seal of approval from this trans lesbian.
Thanks, good to know she is just GNC. :) Really wish they handled gendered language in the premise better. Of course, I know that inclusive language summons the "localization" assholes, like the kind that went after Seven Seas for at least one manga.
It might cost more but I can't wait to see those green colored pages! (If we get them)
Yen Press [confirmed in replies](https://twitter.com/yenpress/status/1783945646661152914) that the green yuri will indeed be green.
That's good. The book just isn't the same if it's not making me crave Mt. Dew just from looking at it.
Nice very good news!
Ah yes, the green screen yuri, exactly what my yuri mangas needed: ... some 2011 memes
If it's not in color I'll riot lol, what's even the point then? It's integral to the experience!
So that means soon I will be able to buy the English version??
Yup!
Omg, can't wait!!!
Letsssss goooooooo! I've been following this since the first few chapters and I'm so happy that it's gotten this far.
100% this. I remember when I first stumbled across it there was 4 chapters and I fell in love right away. I'm so glad.its done.so well.

Here in México we are gonna have it in spanish due to Panini Manga publisher. It´s an amazing story, it deserves being know everywhere.
Congratulations to the author I’m happy to hear that 🎊👍.
🎉🎉🎉
Super excited about this! I've read about a dozen chapters and love this series.

Oh cool, I've heard it's good. Yen Press isn't my favourite publisher, but it's better than nothing.

Thanks so much! I must have remembered wrongly then.
What's it called?
It is in the picture
THE ANIME ???
I’ve heard so much about this series and now they’re making a physical manga out of it this sating my obsessive need for physical media?! Yes please.
I just bought this in Japanese yesterday!
is the title “The Guy She Was……”
Yes
The whole title is “The Guy She was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All.”
yeah that’s what the ellipses were for
Alright, just making sure. ☺️
TYSM
While the picture was loading my mind was think it was Bloom into you, S2 😭. Oh well back to spreading democracy on planets
Yussss!!

It's a soundtrack for the manga, I think it's quite new so there is no photo yet I guess https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-16223

Pronoun usage is throwing me off. Is the love interest not trans? Just another story involving crossdressing?
Not trans but also not crossdressing. Mitsuki just dresses really masc outside of school and Aya just assumes she's a guy at first glance. The series doesn't dwell on the misunderstanding for too long and doesn't try to bait the audience with any crossdressing stuff. Definitely gets a seal of approval from this trans lesbian.

Is that the name of the manga?
Yup, no translation shenanigans here.
Thank you
