Fan Favorite Yuri Series 'Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl' Licensed in English; Omnibus Release September 2024

On February 14, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that it has licensed the popular Yuri romance manga Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl (Ikemen Girl to Hakoiri Musume). The manga is written by Mocchi Au Lait and illustrated by majoccoid.

The publisher describes the series:

When Okuma Satomi’s friend seeks her help wrangling guys for a crossdressing cafe, Satomi winds up with a boyfriend! Sort of. After asking her handsome and aloof classmate, Kanda Mizuki, to help out in the cafe, Mizuki agrees, but on one condition: the two of them must go on a date. Satomi eagerly agrees, delighted to have such a good-looking guy interested in her, but Mizuki realizes that Satomi has completely misunderstood something crucial: Mizuki is a girl! Will this case of mistaken identity blossom into something beautiful, or will the truth leave both girls brokenhearted?

Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl was originally serialized in Comic REX from September 2019 until its conclusion in October 2020. It was based on a work posted on Twitter before being picked up for serialization. Ichijinsha published two collected volumes of Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl in Japanese.

Despite its lack of an international release, the manga quickly became popular with English-speaking audiences and is highly ranked on cataloging websites such as MyAnimeList and Anime-Planet.

Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yara ka Ep 10 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last week, the guys tried to figure out what a long-distance relationship might look like for them and it wasn’t great. Soga decided he’d rather leave his job than give up on this relationship, and Sakae felt guilty about Soga giving up on a big goal and an important promise. We left at Sakae ruining the sanctity of the sauna by initiating a breakup with Soga.

No! Don’t mention the sauna in the breakup speech! I’ll cry!

I actually liked the reasons given for this breakup and the execution of the scene. Because they’re in the sauna, they are essentially bare before each other. It’s a cool choice to highlight the emotional honesty.

I chatted with @lurkingshan and @ginnymoonbeam earlier and have to agree that it’s nice to see a show delving into the immediate aftermath of a breakup. Seeing Sakae struggle with work tasks because he’s distracted works well, as does Soga still remembering key details he had plans for Sakae.

I feel like sending a gift to your ex is a well-intentioned bad idea.

I love everything about this video message and gift. I love how awkward and nerdy Soga is. I love everyone heckling him. I love Kanda taking the glass back and declaring it innocent. I loved Sakae’s smitten smirk by the whole video.

Suddenly Mizuki. I still don’t trust this demon twink.

Hold on, Mizuki is giving good advice. Nevermind, I’m back on his side again.

Not the senpai café callback!! I’m okay with this development. I wish Mizuki and Ryuji the best.

I have really enjoyed the friendship between Sakae and Kaname the whole show.

Good job, Kanda. You have been a real one the entire show.

This joke about them both missing each other and going to the other’s city only works because of a robust transportation network. If you want your populace to fall in love, you need a fast and frequent intercity rail network supported by robust local networks.

The neutral ground conversation is kinda weird, but I’ll let it pass as a way to show them trying to find a compromise because they miss each other.

Soga is such an incredible character. “We’re definitely gonna fuck tonight, so let’s clear things up first.”

There it is: the blinding flash of love.

Final Verdict: 7.5, I Like the Characters. I want to like this show a lot more than I do. I think part of it may be that I’m missing some of the cultural competency around the differences between Tokyo and Osaka. I liked that both Sakae and Soga were coming out of important romantic relationships that didn’t work, and how that also complicated some of the cultural baggage they were bringing to their romance. I hoped we would spend more time with them working through that, and also that we’d involve food more consistently. Overall, I’m not sure I followed the romance of this easily despite really liking the entire cast and some of its ideas. Much of this is probably on me, because I was perhaps looking for something else in the show, which wanted to be about how change was still possible for adults.

Lore Post//

While Kanda was working on fixing Tsukasa, she decides to make some small-talk

Where did you find Tsukasa...?

Hm? Oh-! M-me and Mizuki were looking for scraps in a junk yard when we found him inside an abandoned car.

I see. Was there anything with him?

Pardon?

Was there anything with him? A memory card, for example...

Oh...I never thought about looking if he has anything with him to be honest...

Well that's a shame, he would at least remember his past. How about Nene? I heard you two were dating...

Not anymore! But yeah...say...I haven't seen her since she informed me about Mizuki's death...

Hm...Oh...Oh no...

What?

...

Kanade weakly smiles.

Nevermind...I jut had a...bad thought.

Oh...I see...

...

Hey...So you know Tsukasa...and Nene...and Mafuyu...and you also worked at the place they used to live...

Yeah...?

Was there any other robot at that place except for the ones I counted?

Yeah...there's Emu and Akito...but working there creepy...

Hm?

When I worked there, the janator would always complain to us about huge amounts of blood being found...when I checked it after not believing him from time to time...I learned that he wasn't lying...

W-what...?

And the creepiest one has to be that...a friend of mine, Ena, had a younger brother named Akito aswell...after I quit that place, I never heard from her again. But after everything...I'm certain she's dead.

Dead...? Who...Who was your boss? Or to be more clear, who made the robots apart from you?

Who made the robots apart from me?

Yeah...

...Saki Tenma.

KNOCKOUTS: Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl (2019 - 20)

Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl is a two volume comedy series written by Mochi Au Lait and illustrated by majoccoid about a girl falling for a handsome guy ("guy") in her class.

Satomi Ooguma has never been interested in anyone romantically; however, this changes when she meets fellow classmate Mizuki Kanda. Although Kanda is a girl, Ooguma mistakes her for a boy and finds herself developing romantic feelings for her. When one of Ooguma's friends asks her to find some boys to help for an event, Ooguma turns to Kanda for assistance. Though reluctant, Kanda teasingly agrees to help her on the condition that they go on a date. However, much to her surprise, Ooguma eagerly accepts this proposal. What will happen when Ooguma finally realizes that Kanda is a girl? - MAL

Upcoming ENG release from Seven Seas; JP available on Book Walker.

CWs under the cut. General severity rating: very mild.

suggestive scenes & some non-explicit nudity

debated if it was worth warning for, but mistaken identity-related consent(?) issues; for most of the series, oogawa is under the impression that she's dating a man. it's played for laughs and she isn't hurt when she finds out kanda is a girl, but it may be uncomfortable for some.

minor warning for cisnormativity(?) <- kanda "proves" her gender by taking her clothes off, which has obvious not-great gender implications. i wouldn't say anything outright transphobic happens in the series, but figured it was worth giving a heads up.

probably worth mentioning that it pulls the identifying as LI-sexual over being queer trope, though i personally give it a pass because i got aspec vibes from them but. thin ice.

[asahina-mafuyu-official]

>I’d hope they celebrate, but even that would be asking too much.

They're not gonna celebrate. In fact, you might bring some of them with you. I'm mostly worried about Kanade. She's already kinda lost her dad, who was basically her only close family, and made the promise to save you, can't imagine that's gonna do wonders for her mental health. That's not to say Mizuki and Ena aren't suffering similar problems, far from it, I just think Kanda could be the one that's shaken up the most. After all, you were the one who pointed out how much everyone wanted to disappear

>You clearly haven’t been here before.

...i just skill issued you and that's your answer?

I sent a message telling them that I quit. They haven’t come looking for me. They don’t care. And that’s good. They shouldn’t.

I do not need Mizuki to understand the complexities of internet “lingo”.

[wretchedmog]

Kanda Mizuki from Handsome Girl, Sheltered Girl is just trans masc and doesn't realize it yet. This isn't yuri, it's trans het!

[graphics-net]

mizuki (jokingly): “fine but go out with me.”

mizuki: there’s no way she actually thinks I’m a boy.

satomi: “omg yes!”

mizuki: “wait hold o—”

satomi: *already planning their dates*

Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yara ka Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Sakae rejected Kazuyo properly, and she coped with her disappointment by joining team Sakae and Soga. She helped Sakae prepare a series of surprises for Soga's birthday. Unfortunately, her boss derailed those plans, and Kazuyo got mad at Soga for not recognizing Sakae's feelings. Thanks to the added support from Kazuyo, Sakae took a step forward and told Soga about his feelings. Soga was a bit surprised, so Sakae told him to think about it. We left on Soga's ex-wife calling him and Sakae's ex showing up at his house.

Mizuki is pretty. I hope he isn't revealed to be a demon twink.

Episode 5: He's returned. What now?

Oh, I don't like Mizuki. You can't put relationships on a shelf like a toy you're bored with and just come back to it.

I love Kazuyo so much. She got Soga to admit he has more than feelings of friendship for Sakae, and then immediately called Kaname when something suspicious was going on.

Mizuki listening in at the sauna is a great gay joke. This sauna is a place only for men, so straight men could talk about their psrtners here without worry. But because Sakae and Mizuki are men, he can chase them out of the space.

I really love the squad reacting quickly to this development. Sakae may intend to be done with Mizuki and can say that without lying, but whatever emotion brought Mizuki back must be faced to get him to move on.

Ah, he got kicked out for cheating and is now hoping to land softly with Sakae, who he knows is a pushover and a sap.

I don't like Mizuki. He bailed on Sakae and is now just gonna be back and chatting with customers. Everyone knows!

Even if it's just Soga's worries, I like that this show is willing to show Sakae being intimate with another man.

Come through, Kazuyo! She is a great character for accelerating the romantic pace of this show. She reminded Soga that he could lose to a determined ex, and also chided Soga for not telling Sakae he plans to move back to Tokyo. The devil works hard, but Kanda-san works harder.

Spies and thieves! I knew he was a liar who lies with his face!

"Is he better than me?" "Yes." NOW GET OUT!

Soga, can you not walk in at the most dramatic moment???

Okay, he got jealous, Sakae pushed that he isn't a fickle person, and we learned that Soga and his ex-wife are working on having a productive relationship even if it's no longer romantic. We also got a multi-angle stationary kiss.

Another problem character next week!

This show continues to be excellent. Japanese teams heard that I wanted more adult romance and they are here to deliver. We have issues with exes, because adults have histories. We have an active support network that challenges our leads to face each other properly. Our leads can speak with each other. This is what I have wanted for so long.
