I’ll admit, I had to look it up on wikipedia:

  • Makoto - male, cross-dresser
  • Saki - female, bisexual, confesses to Makoto
  • Ryuji - male, also interested in Makoto

I haven’t read the entire Webtoon, so discounting any developments that may happen later, the less spoilery answer is spoiler[ “Senpai’ is a boy who likes cross dressing.]
The more in depth answer is spoiler[ He attends school as a girl to a) avoid harassment and bullying and b) feel out his own identity and decide if things stop at crossdressing or if he is trans with various people in his life pressuring him both ways. Up to where I’d read he seemed to have decided that in spite of his feminine interests being such a major part of his identity, he still wants to identify as a boy.]

Looks interesting! Project No. 9 is, well, Project No. 9 but I hope it turns out a solid production.

Akira Sekine as Saki Aoi
Yūma Uchida as Ryūji Taiga


Quote:
Saki, a high school student, confesses her feelings to Makoto. Taken aback, Makoto reveals his secret, but the sudden discovery doesn't seem to bother Saki who is already head over heels for him. After being rejected, Saki asks Ryuji, Makoto's childhood friend, for some advice on how to win his heart. A love triangle unfolds when Ryuji realizes that he might also have some feelings for his old friend.


This is funny because Yuma voices Acura in the White Steel of X series of Gunvolt and Akira voices Hail in White Steel of X 2.
