I think the biggest warning sign for me so far is the picture that Ishida drew of Mutsuki a while back. The caption was 'I continue to lie' or 'I lie again' or something or other (Internet too slow rn for me to check his tumblr). Seriously hoping that's not an indication of the girl-disguised-as-a-boy trope. If anything, it leads me to believe that the rest of the Quinx squad don't actually know of Mutsuki's situation.

I tried not to get my hopes up with Mutsuki's introduction since 1) Ishida is not exactly Shimura Takako and 2) I still feel disappointed by Nico's character and treatment.

This disappointment is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Ishida actually seems to like Nico, what with the birthday pic, and by the Volume 7 omake depicting Yamori and Nico's friendship (or whatever the hell their relationship was; I got some peculiar vibes the first time around, but it could be read either way). But still - I'll keep being wary.
