    yo? this fucking slays? Such an interesting concept and it's played out so well in the writing too I just am shocked amazed flabbergasted passed out on the floor??? I am a big Mafuyu fan (and admittedly maybe not so much a Tsukasa fan but now I am low key intrigued) and I'm just so very pleased with the way you wrote her. It just feels so good so right I can't even describe?? And the parallels are super cool too like comparing their schedules and their outlooks and also the similarities in the way that they are pretending to be each other, like Mafuyu treating it like studying in figuring out how this new life works and having experience wearing a mask in front of people helping her play it off, and then Tsukasa doing pretty much the same thing but he thinks of it in terms of theater and acting instead which is such a good execution imo. Like, the same framework is essentially happening twice in this chapter, but it's not boring to reread because it's played off in such a distinct perspective that it almost feels like a unique outline, if that makes sense. I think that's a very hard thing to do so kudos to you for pulling it off! Also this is just very well written in general, the sentences just flow so easily and clearly. You have my wholehearted approval

    I'm super intrigued to see where this story will go. I've been craving Mafuyu + non-niigo interactions lately too (actually specifically mafukasa has been on my mind) so this is like, perfect to satisfy that urge. So glad I was recommended to read and I'm looking forward to more chapters! Thanks for sharing!! (❁´◡`❁)

      yo hi hello thank you sooo much I'm so glad you like it!!!! i love all charas but i admittedly 1000000% have a tsukasa bias so it means the world to me that my characterisation of mafuyu works for a fan! i really enjoy writing her.... she has such a measured, careful perspective as she goes through life, and her self-awareness is funny in that she takes a lot of time to analyze herself but she does it because she finds it difficult to tell what she's feeling... it's really fun to try and express!! she's a cool character

      also YES im so happy bc i basically had 'DON'T REPEAT YOURSELF' set two lines below whatever I was writing like half the time i was writing this chapter. they just think so differently and yet take such similar actions... it's so fun... and yet im fighting redundancy at every moment... thank you so much for the compliments regarding that, it's so nice to see that you found it entertaining!!

      thanks again for reading and commenting!!! i come you enjoy whatever comes next 🙏🏼💖💖 (won't say too much but I can definitely promise mfy and non-niigo interactions lmao)
