“I didn’t, I bought a fresh one from the school store yesterday.
Waitwaitwait - They sell girls' uniforms to male students?
Creepy...
“Y’know what? I just might. Get all Gurren Lagann on your asses!” He grins.
Cutting it really close - that show was just airing at the time. :-)
Throw some :twisted: drama :twisted: in there.
The problem is that so far all attempts at drama in this story didn't measure up to the non-drama parts.

Taro has a big enough chest to pass off as a girl. :lol:

I'll be honest, I didn't plan it that way! :lol: It was initially going to focus on the main trio (mainly Taro) but as the story went on and I wrote some of the one-shots, the group evolved over time, incorporating more characters until we have the cast now. In Reverie, Miki lamented that no one took Suzu seriously because of her narcolepsy and that it was a shame.

First up, thanks for commenting, JJ! Always happy to see new commentors. I've had it pointed out to me, as well as realised it myself that Taro can be a real Mary Sue and I'm going to try my best to fix that going forward and I agree that Ritsu seems a little too perfect but she's not clearly not given how she went off on Taro and Molly.

It's true! I'm melodramatic trash :lol:

Would it be more or less creepy if he gave exact measurements? *scratches chin in thought*

I know, it's quite the fortuitous timing, much like Kamen Rider Den-O starting that year too and being one of the Rider shows I know the most about.

It's kinda how a fan fiction I'm planning out has ended up going, is supposed to be a point of view of ONE character has turned into point of view of several characters :P.

Well, personally I don't consider girls in trousers all that unusual.
Guys in skirts, though…
