This show was so damn stupid, properly aggressively stupid....

I mean even the basic premise of her pretending to be a boy, she says she worried about being found out and then spends a surprising amount of time walking around in a bath robe.

This is the gayest straight Shojo romance I have ever seen and I mean that as a compliment.

Honestly I always got the sense that Mito kept her hair long because she didn't want to give up on her femininity entirely though they never really dived deep into why she dressed as a boy so much. Plus it made the girl reveal more palpable when there was such a distinction between Girl!Mito and Boy!Mito. And I think Kana Ichinose's inability to sound like a boy added to the sheer absurdity of the situation.

Ren ended up being a dirtbag but at least he didn't care about gender when it came to Mito. Though by the end, neither did Ruka.

I think Juri and Takara were meant to parallel Mito and Ruka to an extent and give a legit gay relationship.
