He still seems pretty unsure to me. There's still more for him to figure out about himself I'm sure.
Ok maybe "identity" isn't the right word, since he actually has a reason to contemplate becoming a girl at this point. I won't spoil anything so I'll leave it at that.

My point is that his entire drive is that he wants to be happy in his own body, not change it. He used to be unhappy in his own body because he feels like it cannot reach the social standards of being a man, and that changed through crossdressing. Having him be a trans girl at this point is actually the complete opposite of the conflict at hand, because it's about how crossdressing can help those who don't fit in feel like they belong. He doesn't feel like he fits in with others, not that he doesn't feel in tune with who he is himself.

PS: I don't wanna come across as a transphobic bigot through all this. I support trans people, I don't support a localizer changing the story on a whim to fulfill their agenda. I'm simply really passionate about the story being told here, and seeing it being butchered those few months ago made my blood boil. I hope people understand where I'm coming from.

Don't worry, you aren't. I felt the same way pretty much. People like that make shit worse by giving certain people ammunition that they otherwise wouldn't really have.

Hiura must me rich, his only worries are emotionals. I know those worries are very important and dificult, but I still find it kind of funny the whole drama XD

(Addressing the PS first, you're all good mate, you're actually voicing and clarifying what you mean and that's more than I can say for some folk I have seen amongst plenty of chapter threads on here MD, ignoring the net as a whole even lol)

Definitely agree, Hiura's just experimenting, and having these threads as more TLs come out (Thank you btw, doing some good shit here <3) and being able to speculate like this well after the Manga's already been released into the wild is refreshing.

Can't wait to see the MPreg Bonus chapter :meguusmug:
(This is a joke, if there actually is one then... :dogkek:)

Thank you for voicing yourself and being respectful :salute:

This is such a better and more nuanced direction than many stories take. And Fs in the chat for the official TL. I hope the author is pissed.

You guys are worried about this or that, or the agenda itself

But can we take a moment to talk about how this is one of the few crossdress romcoms that actually addresses crossdressing properly and not just throws it off as a gag ?
The reason hiura does it, opening up to his parents and friends, how it actually makes him feel good and helps him fit in his happy place
It's just so sweet seeing someone leave the depression hell hole and find their happiness

A crossdressing character can literally jump out of the screen, grab these people by the shoulders, shaking them violently while stating he's happy being a boy, and they would still insist there's room that he still could be trans.

We have femboy characters now that aren't gags, comic relief, or two dimensional characters with barely any hardships.

Makoto from Senpai Wa Otokonoko, Yuka from blue period, and Hiura from this manga are fleshed out crossdressers who actually give people like them irl a character that's realistic and down to earth.


But we have these people looking at such complex well written characters only for their conclusion to be "maybe she wants to transition??"


What a way to completely miss the point of a boy who likes being feminine in a world of very ridgid gender expectations.

You aren't fighting against stereotypes, you're reinforcing them.

This was way more serious than I expected, and I'm thankful for it

Why are you so combative all the time man, literally like 90 percent of this thread is using male pronouns for Hiura for a reason. I think your brain is too rotted by the way Twitter does discourse for you to reasonably discuss things anymore, you really should just delete the app man.

In general I also feel like this post is kind of missing the “for now” at the end of it. Hiura having this conclusion about himself right now doesn’t necessarily mean that won’t change down the line. He’s still unsure about what he wants to do based on his dialogue in this chapter after all.

Are you like, some sort of troll to make trans people look incompetent or something you seem to want nothing but trouble and drama

I wasn't even replying to you, yeah I saw your comment, but I was making a general statement about some observations in these comments.

Get lost kid.
