Hourou Musuko 84: Germination
After the long delay of the two previous months' scanlations, this month's chapter was released so fast, I thought for a moment it might have been a fake.

- Takatsuki may be asexual. I mean, how awesome is that? After Shuu's confession of still being in love with (or at the very least, still liking) Anna, which I don't I've ever seen (an MtF being in love with another woman, I mean), Shimura continues on and gives us the possibility that Takatsuki may be asexual. It's like Shimura made a list of the things that are so commonly invisible in common media and made a vow to tackle them with a lot of love and care or something.
I admit to having my Takatsuki-ships and had fervently hoped one or the other might come true (used to be all over Takatsuki/Shuu before Anna/Shuu and Takatsuki/Saori took over), but I really hope this really is where Shimura is taking Takatsuki. Your preferred gender doesn't automatically correlate with what is the common sexual preference of a given gender, after all.
(or maybe I'm just being ignorant/taking an issue lightly, which is always a possibility; but still, yay, Takatsuki!)

And YES! I mean, it could just be the usual problems adolescents go through when everyone else starts talking about who they like and you're the late bloomer who never really thought of things like that before, and man, does that mean you're weird or something? Why are you so different from everyone else? You can't relate at all!
But I think even that is cool to add, because that DOES happen and I don't think it's brought up enough, even on media that deals with adolescents. But do hope Takatsuki be written as asexual in the future though. Eee!
Darn, I need a Hourou Musuko icon. :p

though sometimes it helps me to procrastinate xD)Exactly!
If Tatsuki was a late bloomer… it would fit and all, but it would be so much better if Tatsuki was asexual. It also fits and that's something that needs more coverage because asexuality exists and I just trust Shimura-sensei would do a wonderful job portraying Tatsuki as asexual ♥
