Thanks for making this thread! I see this manga in bookstores all the time and the cover art is really pretty but I had no idea what the content would be like so I never looked into it any further. This looks super cute and funny and I am intrigued.

There's definitely times where it's the author for sure (like the "Why are you going to the women's changing room" scenes), so while they're few and far between, I'd definitely get why those gags would turn someone off.

The pronouns on the other hand, I'm 95% sure that's more the scanslator than the author, as I'm pretty sure Japanese pronouns aren't gendered.

There are gendered pronouns in Japanese, kare for he/him and kanojo for she/her, but they aren't used as often as we use them in casual conversation. Pronouns can be omitted half the time based on context, they can use non-gendered pronouns, or most commonly they'll just use that person's name. That's why it's super easy to do the 'uncertain gender' thing in Japanese and way more awkward in English since they/them isn't very common yet.
