It’s sort of silly that after unintentionally doing a relatively good trans character in Kaede, we get a chapter that then goes “oh the only way you can truly be a woman is for you to fall in love with a man”

Like, femmes exist
Kinda feels like the mangaka somehow dropped a bunch of ingredients in the bowl with Kaede and somehow ended up with a cake. Though I wasn't terribly fond of the oops gay sex joke in this one felt a little "hmm".

The way he just absorbs femininity like a sponge soaks up water is kinda silly. Like if I pump him full of estrogen would he just go full fem all the time.

Japan try not to depict transwoman as only hetero, challenge impossible.

Unless you’re Hourou Musuko that is.

But seriously, the existence of two genders meaning he has to like them separately in each form is kind of ridiculous. They also give no chance to any other sub heroine cause the TRUE WIFE appears each time.

Where was this series gonna go before it got canceled? Like if we got rid of the pervert dog and weird pre-pubescent kid form. Would that have helped?

You can never underestimate the ability of Mangaka to infest every trans character (whether they're intentionally written to be trans or not) with comphet brainworms

It would be interesting if one would ever delve into using it as a character growth moment, like it gets revealed of some early life nurturing that left regressive ideals in place as one would grow around, and then having MC say something to them about it that just evolves the character in question from a trope to an icon.

It's happened before, elsewhere and IRL, but I could always use another nickle...

So, to make him feminine, he must fall in love with a guy. Sounds plausible.

But, come on!!!

Thank you for the update!
