oof, I always forget just how stereotypical depictions of trans people in manga tend to be. Everyone that isn't a man in a dress or a deluded lesbian ends up getting shunted into the "otokonoko" or "extreme tomboy" categories... welp, at least Kanna is nice to her, though I'm guessing it's more of a "and she washes the feet of the poor and downtrodden" thing more than a "the trans woman is female and deserves dignity" kind of deal.

@Vainfire As far as I recall, all LGBT stuff is seen as a fetish of sorts in Japan. Things to be done behind close doors, and shameful if brought up in public. Blue Period is to date the only series I've seen that handles the topic well. Vinland Saga might be the same but that subplot is just getting started

my theory from two chapters ago about Kanna being the mystery girl from chapter 1 seems to be confirmed.
A bit sad they just skipped over the whole fight, I wonder if it will be shown. Where are our heroes??
