What? Maybe it was intended is a short serialization

Maidens are falling in love with me?

Stop that. Don't limit what people can and can't think, do or be. The goal of gender nonconformity is to make society a more accepting place, to give people the permission to be what they want to be, without having to care about others judging or trying to force them in small boxes. Some people...

Many men want to be Moe girls, not because they're trans, but because they think that life would be easier if they were cute. Naturally a scary looking guy who doesn't have friends and love Yuri would believe that being a girl is better than being a boy

This is an old trope, there are genderbending mangas from the 60, but this isn't that, it's a manga about a delinquent becoming a femboy, or Trap if we want to be in line with image aggregators

Some crossdresser x crossdresser and crossdresser x girl series are also tagged as a Yuri, we even have the tag "pseudo-yuri" in Japan. I believe that if the author said this isn't exactly Yuri, he's putting the work in the pseudo-yuri box, which makes sense, once that nothing in the story...

The author said on Twitter that the story isn't supposed to be Yuri

Right! The author thought really well about it

Many yuri fans in Japan believe that if one of the character has a penis the work is not Yuri.

It's not that Japan doesn't recognize or understands trans people. In there authors and audiences recognize that people may want to change their gender for reasons other than gender dysphoria. Remember, everyone, gender isn't limited to biology, it's also a social performance and construct

You guys need to differentiate between idealistic fetishism and a desire for a change of identity. Wanting to be a girl to be Moe is different from wanting to be identified and gendered as a girl. People can feel uncomfortable in their body and gender for reasons other than gender dysphoria, a...

It would make sense once that in this story the game world is real and the characters in it are sentient

It would, because here the characters exist in the game world, they're their roles. Hareta doesn't need to be a player to be the protagonist, also I don't think a player would be able to interact with the world and other characters in the way Hareta does, he is clearly part of their world and...

Hareta is a character, he existed in this world for as long as every other character and he has memories of his childhood with Misaki, something that wouldn't be possible if he was a player since the game starts when the characters are already in high school.

I believe the controller in the first chapter was metaphorical, I don't think Hareta exists outside of the game world or that there's a player controlling him. Nothing in the work alludes to it and Hareta is bound by the same rules as everyone else. As we have seen before the world they inhabit...

While I can respect your interpretation, I don't think this is enough to prove that the character is trans. If the author wanted the character to be trans he would've given indication of that, and until now they didn't. The character presented themselves as a boy, identifies as such, and is...

WHen translating a work one should always be mindful of context. Yes, Watashi is a formal and feminine pronoun in Japan, now, it's not equivalent to She/Her, once that the latter aren't feminine pronouns, they're female pronouns. While in some cases it can make sense to translate Watashi as...

I don't th I don't think this would work, because one of the bad ends for the Gyaru has her ending with another boy. If Hareta doesn't get with one of the girls or if the girls choose someone that isn't him, the world will read this as a bad ending and reset

It's a take on the same idea, but way more bitter. In Misaki-kun Hareta is never vilified or treated as someone bad, the rules of the world in which they live in is the source of their pain. The protagonist is actually one of the victims of the system and struggles with the oppression imposed...

The heroines, in the very first chapters, talk about how frustrating it's to be a heroine in a dating sim. The gyaru dislikes the fact that the game forces her to love Hareta, not because she doesn't love him, but because this makes their love less genuine. The yandere hates the fact that...
