@rookieweeb seems like it means their hearts have stopped but they're still functioning as if they hadn't. Doctors say time of death is when the heart stops so technically they are "dead"
@kiriha
That's not how any of that works at all. You can identify as a male and have male sex organs. Chill man, just enjoy the manga or translate it yourself.
Does anyone know if/when the stupid misunderstanding plot point gets sorted out so we can have a nice romance without this complication always being the problem?
