Information on the original “Senior is a man”

“Senior is a man”
Author: Pomu
URL: https://manga.line.me/product/periodic?id=z0000602

One day, Makoto Hanaoka, the daughter of a man who loves cute things, confesses to her junior girl, Saki Aoi, “while misunderstanding Makoto as a girl.”
Makoto tells him that he is not a woman, but a man, and refuses to confess, saying, “Because I’ve never had someone I like in the past.”
However, Saki was delighted with the fact that she was a man’s daughter, saying, “Both male and female seniors can enjoy it.”
