What caused controversy was that, according to the publication, this friend appeared dressed in a feminine manner, which left the protagonist of the story completely disconcerted.

The person in the photos was not a man, but a woman known as “Kihi” (@kihi_safeplace), who is dedicated to cosplay and, in this specific case, was playing the character Mukou Aoi from the visual novel “Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi”.

While some expressed disappointment in learning the truth, others were simply amused by the situation and noted that The line between reality and fiction on the internet is increasingly blurred.
