What is Senpai Is an Otokonoko about?
Senpai Is an Otokonoko is a romance manga following Makoto Hanaoka, a young man who dresses like a woman despite his mother's disapproval. Saki Aoi, a girl attending the same high school as Makoto, falls in love with him under the belief that he is a woman, and only learns the truth after confessing her feelings for him and getting rejected.
She is bisexual and does not mind what his gender is, and still wishes to become his first love, but he worries that she will be seen as odd by associating with a cross-dresser. Ryuji Taiga, a childhood friend of Makoto's, is initially unsure about being with another man, but a love triangle involving the three forms as he warms up to it.
Crunchyroll describes Senpai is an Otokonoko:
"Can true love really overcome any obstacles? Saki, a high school student, confesses her feelings to Makoto. Taken aback, Makoto reveals his secret, but the sudden discovery doesn’t seem to bother Saki who is already head over heels for him. After being rejected, Saki asks Ryuji, Makoto’s childhood friend, for some advice on how to win his heart. A love triangle unfolds when Ryuji realizes that he might also have some feelings for his old friend."
Pom created the series with themes such as love regardless of gender, and originally came up with the concept when experiencing difficulties drawing male characters. The series was popular with readers and well received by critics for its writing and characters.
Senpai Is an Otokonoko was well received by critics and readers, and was the third-place winner of the 2021 Next Manga Award in the web manga category. It rose in popularity in 2020, and became the third most read series on Line Manga of 2021, after Mayu Murata's Honey Lemon Soda and Yaongyi's True Beauty. It was the third highest ranked in AnimeJapan's 2021 survey about what manga series published in the preceding year that readers would like to see adapted into anime, and the highest ranked in 2022.
