@liobi4 Wanting to get facial hair removal does not mean Opera's an egg. Its not uncommon for gender-nonconforming guys to get laser hair removal, since it can have a big impact on facial femininity without the rather massive list of changes hormones usually induce (which a gnc guy probably...

@RipinRippinGirl Interesting. I guess I won't drop this then. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm a little disappointed by the direction the story seems to be going now. Back in chapter 5 Kazu told Masaru about not actually being a girl, and Masaru gave a whole speech about how he didn't care whether Kazu was really a girl, and just wanted Kazu to "live as you'd like." The implication...

Dear @Dead-chan, I am very very sorry for pinging you. I recognize the pain it must have caused you, and the entire Work in Progress family. Please don't sue me. Regards, @mirewitch P.S. I'm also sorry for pinging you now, I guess.

@aRepeatingPrayer Sorry I mentioned the wrong person. I didn't know the mangadex handle of anyone else in the group, so I just mentioned the uploader. Regardless thanks for the explanation.

@Didido Yeah that line seemed out of place to me too, so I re-read the raws. The line in question is きっと水嶋くんと付き合えたら幸せになれるんだろうな. The primary subject here is unspecified, so in a literal sense it says something along the lines of "Surely if X got together with Mizushima-kun, X could be happy...

Wow this arc is bad. The "forced marriage" trope is terrible under normal circumstances, but this situation is so hilariously contrived it almost feels like a parody. First off, Kara and marriage-man aren't literally the last titans. There are presumably at least hundreds of titans left or...

@ugo7281 I agree -chan is gender neutral when talking about a child or family, but its pretty rare for two non-female adolescents to use it when referring to one another, as opposed to -san or no honorific. Also to clarify I'm not saying that "Mogu-chan" is inherently feminine, I'm saying an...

@liquid_2 Regarding Mogumo's name, I sympathize with your discomfort, but what else could Tetsu have called them? Mogumo is their last name, and Tetsu is talking to their family, who are also "Mogumo." I guess he could have used "Mogu-chan," but that is feminine enough a nickname that it...

@Sommeguy You make a good point about Japan's terrible LGBT laws, and how those inform the Japanese trans experience. However, I disagree that "Japanese trans culture" has a fixation with surgery. After all, Japanese transpeople are the ones advocating for those laws to be changed. If...

@Neushaartje So if this was closer to my comment date I'd probably try to give textual evidence to support my claims of inconsistency. But rereading a manga I dropped months ago just to argue with a stranger isn't something I feel like doing. Sorry.

@Neushaartje Its pretty weird that you're @-ing a 6 month old comment, since I dropped this manga months ago and don't remember it very well, but I'll do my best to respond. I'm not saying the character needs to conform to gender expectations, or any other "rules" as you call them. I'd be cool...

@Dl9989 You're acting like I'm saying they should get married or date forever or something. But going on a date with someone, as page 3 put it, "to get to know him better," is a really casual thing to do. As such, casual reasons like "he's good looking," or "he seems chill," etc. are more than...

@Dl9989 We know from page 1 Akito's a good student, and well liked by his peers. He also seems pretty chill based on the casual way he asked Hiura out, and seems pretty non-judgemental based on his being cool with Hiura's gender-nonconformity. Sure his attraction is superficial, but that's...

@liquidsword @Dl9989 Like I said, I'm aware Hiura isn't actually going to go out with Akito. He's head-over heels for Midou. But my point was that Akito has demonstrated he is capable of both recognizing his own feelings and acting on them. In my opinion that makes him better boyfriend...
