aken's manga / #wholesome(3)

surprisingly thoughtful exploration of crossdressing & gender exploration through comparison with celebrity and idol personas

honestly the text is made all the better by the official translation, which uses elevated language that suits the setting. there's a painful stretch between ch 60 - 70ish where a fan translation is used and full of grammatical errors, but it seems they've switched back to the official translation in the latest chapters. very sweet, the major anticipated conflict (ML falling in love with the saintess and leaving MC) is resolved surprisingly quickly but I don't mind it; I enjoy how feel-good and gentle this entire manga is, and the main romantic relationship is lovely and warm and respectful
