- Replying to @rei_1349"But look at this, does it look like a boy to you?" WHY CAN'T A BOY LOOK LIKE THIS?.. You're missing the whole point of Mizuki's character saying that a boy can't look like this. You made a conclusion about Mizuki's identity, that he is a girl, a trans girl, based on his
- Replying to @rei_1349Next, this ISN'T his reaction to be called a guy. THIS is his reaction to his SECRET BEING REVEALED to Ena. He was horrified because Ena found out not from him and things just got fucked up. He realized that now Ena knows, and knows NOT FROM HIM, and that was a terrible way to
- Replying to @rei_1349First of all, Mizuki uses male japanese pronouns boku ๅ/ใใฏ . it's very rarely used by girls or almost never used. Instead, girls use watashi (็ง) or atashi (ใใใ), the latter being a shortened version of the former and more cute/feminine.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextWhile "Boku" is a pronoun mostly by men, it is not off-limits for women "Teenage girls may also refer to themselves as boku to their friends. Other popular female entertainers are using the term to appear more masculine" fluentu.com/blog/japanese/โฆ
- Replying to @rei_1349If you still can't believe it, well, in the end, there wasn't anything said about Mizuki being a girl or a transgender, so you can't say he is canon transfem unless you're making thing up.
- Replying to @rei_1349The last and the most powerful argument that puts an end to this topic: "It's not like Akiyama is hiding anything"= Mizuki isn't hiding that he is a boy. What else could it mean? He is a boy, and he likes to dress cute. The end.
- Replying to @rei_1349appearance. When the message of his character is NOT to rely on appearance. You completely missed the point of his character. That you should not look at appearance, it means nothing, and the person can look whatever they want to.
- Replying to @rei_1349Next, in his profile card his sex/gender is stated as "?". If he were a trans girl, his gender would say "Female", isn't it logical? Like, they wouldn't write "Trans Girl", but they wouldn't write "Male" either, because that would be transphobic if they actually made him trans.
- Replying to @rei_1349And it would make sense for Mizuki to use atashi if he considered himself a girl, or the NEUTRAL PRONOUN WATASHI (everyone uses it). But he uses boku, the masculine one, cause he DOESN'T HIDE his identity and he feels a male, which is what the students said in the story.
- Replying to @rei_1349No, instead, there's a question mark - "?". Because his sex/gender is a SECRET. A secret for us and for niigo. He doesn't want to be considered weird by people he loves. He doesn't care with others - that is, with classmates or strangers, he didn't hide the fact that he was a guy
- Replying to @rei_1349find out. Everything went not as he planned to, in the worst way possible, and that's the reason of this facial expression.
- Replying to @rei_1349because he didn't care what they thought. But he was afraid of the reaction of his friends, because they were close to him, and he was hiding quite important information all this time.
- I just woke up WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
