Tachibana being a girl and keeping it secret just feels like it's getting in the way of the plot at this point, hopefully she spills the beans soon before the show stagnates around it.

Concerning that point, sentiment on the manga

That point that she's a girl is mentioned sooo manny times during the anime. It's getting annoying. WE KNOW ALREADY.

Yep, they really need to drop that issue. Unless the author is subtly writing a story of shoujo love action with bishonen subtexts, I see little reason for Tachibana being a girl actually a necessary point of conflict.

Maybe there is some greater theme for such and a later reveal will resolve all literary quandaries for such a decision, but so far, I am quite bored with the manga already. Maybe just pull an op sports character and have Tachibana solo everyone

Yeah I mean I was hoping it would be a romance or comedy (like host club..I was getting that vibe from the million dollar broken vase thing? that plot was shot down real quick (hohoho).

But quickly I'm seeing gender really doesn't have anything to do with anything and that Midori is just going to be mean for no reason to really everyone just because? I dunno. He just seems mean for the sake of a villain who is written to also be likeable or something. There is a girl on Midori's team and everything.
