Not saying it's the author's intention necessarily, but the trans allegory is even stronger here than other genderbender stories. Mauri and Momoyama reminded me a lot about conversations I've had with other trans people: reflecting on times of loneliness and emotional distress and the life changes that came from it. The dynamic between Mauri and Momoyama reminded me of a lot of trans women I've known who guided me when I was just getting started. Yes, I know Momyama didn't choose to change so it's not a direct allegory or anything, but I got something out of it, which was more than I expected for something sorta silly like this. Anyway, looking forward to seeing more!

sometimes that happens. Even if an author doesn’t intend it, their series can still be read in different ways. And isn’t the feeling of being in a body that isn’t yours the quintessential trans experience?

Something tells me we going by Bloody Roar rules here. You can only get so many furries to fund this thing so best to have a sliding scale at work.

Comes more across as a homosexual awakening imo. Tigerboy didn't feel anything towards boys when he was one but the new state of being opens up new perspective for him. He had no intent to change his identity but then experienced an incident that opened up his perspective and now repression on that newly revealed possibility is solely from himself and not a biological or social hurdle.

I doubt the author intended it come off as any sort of allegory as the fetishism with the TSF niche comes with sexual awakening as part and parcel of the transformative motif and the journey is mirrored through the narrative element of MC wanting to understand girls better to write better heroines. I'll conclude that it at its core a story of self-discovery rather than one of identity struggles.

I think I've struck upon a litmus test for whether it's a trans or homo story or by typing that out: "Does the story largely work the way it does if he were plotmagicked to be a trap instead of a girl? No? Gay with extra steps! Yes? Dysphoria!"

It'd be really funny if she just is full cat by the end of the series.

Sorry, I had to…

I understand both your point and theirs, not fully agreeing but seeing what you both mean. But this litmus test really makes me scratch my head because I think shit has many layers and I still can't see which one this litmus test really covers.

Also I'd prefer, very much, to avoid the usage of the term "trap"

Assume they mean me, they don't, but assume so; I am TrAp after all.

I'd argue whether it was forced or willing being beside the allegory's point.

You could be born this way, you might find out later in life; either way you've always been you, just unaware until actualized.

FYI, if you see some trans or coming out allegory there, that's 100% your own projection

What's wrong with fantasy adventuring party being bros regardless of gender?
