Another drop for me, I already have two romance shows on my to watch list (Russian and Stepsister) and that is the very max for me. Senpai is an Otokonoko seems solid yet not above the other two.

Episode 1
I like it. The humour works for me and the ending where Makato puts their female clothing in a locker and says "Goodnight, me" was absolutely [expletive] heart-breaking. |

The humor works for me too, and this show fits right in that category where I'd watch an anime just because of it's pretty backgrounds and musical scores even if I thought it was boring otherwise.

Well, a lot of times it skipped backgrounds almost entirely, but when it did show them, they were purdy. Was too lazy to edit that sidenote in there.

It does look lovely, I wish it aired in a season not asolutely filled to the brink with romance anime.

Looking at the title I was both excited and a little worried. My understanding is otokonoko can refer to a couple of different groups, that being GNC (Gender Non-Conforming) guys, and AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) trans people, and the confusion of the two can be assuming those of the second are the first. As such, it is not really clear where Makoto is on this, whether they are GNC and still identify as a boy, a trans-girl, or maybe non-binary with a preference for feminine presentation. Although I am leaning on the trans side at the moment.
I know Saki is meant to be somewhat off-putting, but dang if her joy at finding out Makoto's gender thing felt relatable to my bisexual heart. Just as Maokoto's gender thing was somewhat relatable to my own experiences. |

@DuskyPredator
Thanks for explaining what the initials meant. For those of us on the outside trying to understand what is going on there are a lot of unexplained initials, words we have not seen before and words that obviously don't mean what they used to. It all gets a bit confusing at times. |
