It's pretty clear that in Spotted Flower Hato is trans lol. Most crossdressers dont get breast implantsHE. He's a he. I know, shocking.
That begs the question though, how attentive you were with your reading, and in relation to that, how much of merit your opinion about this title is.
From what I remember, I have read that in a couple of old interviews? Shimoku has insisted plenty that Genshiken and Spotted Flower are completely unrelated. Still, "Spotted Flower" as an title is quite too specific as it may be referring to Madarame and Saki's names's kanji's meaning... and lo and behold, the Husband and Wife (and many of their friends and acquaintances) share a lot of specific references to his other series' main cast(s), besides just playing the part of the "husband is an otaku and the wife is a normie" archetype, and their group of friends and acquaintances that happen to be otaku, and maybe even have been in the same anime and manga University club, as well.Surely we are not supposed to be holding onto the initial pretense that these may or may not be the Genshiken characters - Genshiken has even been referenced by name so that can't be the reason for not using names...?
