Tsubaki is good when it's not about his curiosity about men. I prefer the chemistry between girls, I really don't know what that author was thinking but considering his other works surely He would think that girls need to have a boy by their side

Quick possible correction: the girls from team Snake are not actually twins. They're not even related. I wish I could remember where I read that, but I'm 95% sure the author stated they're just really close friends.

There's just something sweet and innocent and lovely about this show.
It's not great for sure, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a show that's not great is there?

I just can't gel with this show. I find it painfully unfunny, it doesn't really have Cloverwork's best animation, and the designs are all kind of creepy and overly sexualized for them being tweens. The art style just doesn't work at all.
The plot, like A Couple of Cuckoos, is also demanding way too much for you to bend over backward and accept the premise.

It's much better than Takagi-san, IMO.

It's less that all girls need to have a boy by their side, and more that Yamamoto, in his works, associates maturing with getting contact with the others gender and discovering "earthly" desires. It sounds, and kind is, a little exclusivist and heteronormative, but the works try to show that there are different way of experimenting those things, just look at Sazanka, the thing is, Tsubaki journey and interest highlights her desires to get out of her bubble and see more of the world, it's also a way to have her, little by little, understand and discover what her desires of body and soul mean. It also gives us a lot of silly hijinks and jokes, like the girls saying "dick" out loud and Tsubaki "feeling" the kanji of men

I could understand that this aspect has some narrative importance, but until now there has been no appearance of any man in the anime and the manga according to what I have been told so far neither, so it actually becomes quite useless and just annoying.

Yes, it is just like most slice of life anime, where we get an interesting situation, but the story progression is slow.

You are reading way too deep into a fairly mediocre show. If she wanted to leave her bubble, she absolutely would have started doing that, or if the show bothered to have them encounter a boy at some point. You are just trying to overly justify your support for the show, and you can like it, but this take comes off like a college student film reading of a piece of media lol.

It's useful because it represents the changes in the mind and body of Tsubaki and her desire to know and explore new things. Men being a unknown variable adds to her anxieties and curiosity, they're a thing Tsubaki wants to know and meet, but she doesn't has the means for it, so she collects information and tries to create pictures and fantasies on her head, this helps making men seems mysterious and special, it also makes Tsubaki silly advancements worthwhile, like how she reacts when she heard ding-a-ling and how the idea of stinking and being bigger make she fells weird
