Konatsu

Like, for two of the three manga stories that you had me look at, The main thing between them was that, well, they included a cross-dressing guy who was in love with Ukiyo.

And I'm going to admit, I did not actually pick that up until the very end of Konatsu's story.

Because, like, huh, I really should have seen this coming.

Yeah, there's some stuff that's a lot more obvious in hindsight that surprised me a little.

Like it just seems to be one of those go-to of like, well, we don't have anything to do with Ukiyo, so just give her a new character to bounce off of.

And like, okay, none of them stick around for some reason, which is odd because some of them do feel like they fit right in.

Well, yeah, I mean, well, Tsubasa and Konatsu especially probably could have stuck around.

Konatsu technically sticks around, but the final arc was like 20 chapters later, so we didn't really get to see the results of Konatsu sticking around.
