Devil Wears Prada – Chapter 9, Act 2, Strip 20

Yeah, of course. Let’s make the gay guy crossdress. Was there any way this would end up with anything more subtle than this? >_>

Barely, I guess. In addition to the fact that the crayon drawings in the dossier provided by Akane’s sister very clearly documented that Youichi is attracted to sailor outfits, there’s the fact that Mopey and her best friends are fujoshi, so they’re attracted to the idea of guys wearing female uniforms on the general principle of the matter.

You can’t really blame much of this on Akane’s sister, her dossier mostly just provided some (thin) cover for Mopey and Co. to do what they would probably have done under any circumstances. Just remember that Maid (and Miko) Cafe. Same thing. >_>

Getting Hiroki into the outfit was done ‘the usual way’, so I didn’t bother to illustrate it. It involved a complex plan to make sure Hiroki was using the communal showers after everyone else had left, then exchanging his clothes with the female uniform, leaving him only a choice between crossdressing and nudity for his way out of the building. To make absolutely sure he made the right choice, there was also an envelope with some cash that said “this is for you if you crossdress”. It never hurts to make sure.

More on Monday.
