Bonus #2: Shimazaki and the Trail He Blazed" ( 描き下ろし② 嶋崎と新開拓, Kakioroshi 2: Shimazaki to Shinkaitaku)

Nonetheless, it’s silly fun and really kind of charming. Hanae’s initial narration is pretty savage and I thought we were in for some serious judgemental manga, but it’s thankfully just a reflection on his self-loathing and poor esteem. There’s basically zero hesitation on Shuumei’s part to shed his punk aesthetic and dress like a girl if it gets him closer to Hana. This is definitely much lighter fare, and pretty focused on the comedic aspect of this dynamic, but (so far) in a sweet and playful way. Another complication is that while Shuumei's Mei is mostly a feminine and somewhat softer version of himself, Hana presents a very different personality than Hanae. Mateo, Alex (2021-12-08).

Nothing about this premise could survive outside of a manga - these two are fooling one another and basically nobody else. I do like the way that the story takes pains to explain how Shuumei knows how to do Mei’s makeup so well though, but they’d have discovered one another’s identities five times over.The side characters are surprisingly strong, it’s an all male main cast, but everybody is full of secrets or a little more layered than you’d expect. Except that one guy they introduce at the end, who I didn’t especially like, but on the balance this is a good group.

a b c d "Die Schönheit vom Café". Animania [ de] (in German). No.3/2022. Animagine. April–May 2022. p.81. Sort of. The strange and peculiar lives of this manga's characters converge in such a funny little way that what might otherwise be fertile ground for fetishistic humor instead gives way to deliberately awkward wholesomeness. A mild-mannered girl falls for a rough-around-the-edges girl? Maybe. Except the mild-mannered girl is a reclusive (male) otaku, and the rough-edges girl is (male) delinquent with a soft side. CROSSPLAY LOVE: OTAKU x PUNK v1 is a simple meet-cute via crossdressing. The convenience of its narrative artifice notwithstanding, the story might be cleverer than readers are readily aware.
