First, examining Ibusuki's secret gender. It doesn't make sense to me that Ibusuki would pretend to be male just so that she wouldn't have to see images of herself over boys. Seems like it would actually be a useful skill to know who likes you are not. On the other hand as a fake male she has to deal with the demon zombies, seems those are much worse then seeing the zombies as yourself.
1- Unless you are a girl that loves seeing people fantasize about about you (at this point i'd assume you're a whore) I don't see how a few demons will hurt you, also, she is capable of fighting demons, but probably not guys chasing and stalking her. Also, if she wanted people to like her, she could have easily flaunt her wealth. You must be really shallow to be unable to read between the lines, that she doesn't like taking advantage of others, nor showing off any of her capabilities unless needed. Maybe you have a lot of ego, or the lack of, and feel that every human should be squeezed of their worth(between those whom like you or not, so you can take advantage of it), well, sad to say, this lady doesn't share the same thinking as you. AND, do you really need to be able to see someone's love zombie to tell who likes you and who doesn't? You clearly lack appraisal skills as well.
So she is pretending to be male and pretending to hate Taro when she actually wants "to be her true self" AKA female and is in love with Taro. I suppose she could be in denial about the love.
2- What does this have to do with gender roles? Aside from that, all of this was reasoned in the manga itself, she wants Tarou to remember the whole incident before she can forgive him.
Grandma wants to reveal her secret so she can have a real daughter, since if she is male, that makes her a different person and more of a disappointment to grandma.
3- Also stated in the manga, the grandma wishes for Ibitsuki to be happy, which was the most apparent when she was still dressing up as a girl. At this point i want to ask if you actually read the manga.
Grandpa wants to hand down leadership of the family business to her, but only if she is a pretend male. Like its inconceivable to give the family business over to a known female. Like being a heir is a macho thing, a sign of being male, as if she accepted said inheritance, it would be like accepting to pretend to be male for the rest of her life.
4. This is traditional thinking. G-R-A-N-D-F-A-T-H-E-R which part of that do you not understand he's from a different era. If you think about it, the Grandfather already KNEW Ibitsuki is a girl. So what makes you think it was inconceivable? Your argument hardly holds any water! And if you actually researched, males are usually more capable when it comes to business. I am not saying women cannot do it, but majority of the males does it better. It is the representation of a company, and company image is important. You apparently don't know what social norms are, and how they actually affect businesses.
Like she couldn't be herself, have the same relationship with grandma, and be a heir to the family business, no matter what gender role she was playing. Say if she were to reject gender roles altogether, where would she be left in all this nonsense?
5. Right, how about you give me an example when a person has completely abandoned their gender role, and is still a heir to a corporation, and the corporation is still running fine? Please quote from scholarly articles. And links as well. And to answer your question, she'd be left with friends, but probably no partner.
All this to me is the author saying Ibusuki's identity is her gender. That would be why she she is mad with Taro, that she felt she had to mess up her identity in order to avoid seeing versions of herself over boys heads.
6- Everything was explained as what i have pointed out above. Did you freaking R-E-A-D the manga at all? She's mad not because of the identity, but of Tarou forgetting the incident, and that she had to cross dress to avoid problems. Her Grandfather is taking advantage of that because he needs a heir, the only way is for Ibitsuki to get a husband, or stay as a man. Which normal guy would date a man? So you need a gay man now? Then afterwards if they wanna have sex and the gay realizes Ibitsuki is a girl, what happens?
I dislike all this nonsense. It could have been done much better. Very shallow story telling and character fleshing.
7- I dislike all your nonsense as well. It could have been a better topic if you weren't so shallow. And character fleshing, you don't know what sells do you. Go learn some marketing or business before you comment about that kind of shit.
