I had a great time reading this; it was consistently heart-felt and funny, and the mangaka has plenty of room to work with for future volumes.
The basic premise is this: high school boy and otaku 波苗 憂真(はなえ・ゆうま) works part-time at a maid café, cross-dressing as a bubbly young lady named 花. One of that maid café's frequent customers is めい, a slightly rougher and elegant young lady who is, in actuality, also a cross-dressing high school boy and ヤンキー named 里切 秀明 (さとぎり・しゅうめい), who started frequenting the café after he saw 花 for the first time and fell head-over-heels in love with her but was too shy to enter the café as a guy.
And so begins our love story of two incredibly dorky boys dressed as girls falling for another girl (who is also a cross-dressing guy). Is this BL? GL? I have no idea, but it's cute, sweet, and incredibly wholesome. The art is incredibly expressive as well; the mangaka's got a great sense of comedic timing, and there are tons of panels that are meme-worthy.
Every kanji has furigana, and because high schoolers are front and center you'll get plenty of youth slang, mostly coming from a delinquent and an otaku. Text density was fairly light, and as someone who typically reads in the low- to mid-30s, this felt like an easy breezy read.
