Yukinoshita Nobuha's Youth Has Always Been Gray

I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It's neither a typical male-oriented nor a typical female-oriented story, and the gender of the protagonist is the same. It's a typical artsy, angsty novel, unfinished, the male lead is gender-swapped, and the anime character design is out of character (using age as an excuse?). It feels like a clone. The author is good at entertaining themselves, but if they want to make money, they should stick to short stories and try competing with AI.
