hmm, it's not feminine, still normal usage and I think it's practically same as what you're talking about.. What can I say.. The two variants are different on intonation, I think. The one, which sounds feminine, has rather high intonation on わ, and the other doesn't. I'm not sure if there are other differences

But I kinda like how it's working out with Azumanga, I think it's nice that it is easy to have a controlled pace with it, so that everyone is in sync, and even if someone gets behind it's not a problem because there is not much to miss.
I agree with you.
