Sorry if it's indelicate but..
You don't want to be a man, you are a man.
And so, I wish you to find happiness~
Hahaha well I wish it was that easy. Seeing and believing could really stress a person out, just like Masaki. Thank you though :))
I hope all turns out well for you, and always remember that you are valid no matter what!
Thank you! :D
Talk about identity crisis. As much as it’s interesting to debate about Masaki’s gender, I get the depth of that trans at the bar. In this setting, even trans women wouldn’t be seen as an actual real woman. The point was their desired sex is different from what was theirs. We all desire what we do not have, like those she mentioned. All the while, we try to achieve at least what is similar to it which makes Masaki’s burden normal and not disgusting. Masaki accepts this and a burden is lifted from her (since Masaki wants to be a woman) shoulders. The characters all desired something specific but never got them, only what was similar to it.
The infertile woman was still married so she was still wanted by her fiancé. The tomboy did experience what she wanted. The writer became some sort of genius even if he wasn’t like the authors he looked up to. Masaki embraced the duality of her body and inner self.
As someone also in the middle of an identity crisis, ‘cause I want to be a man. Like, looking at Masaki and I constantly murmur how I want to switch bodies with her. This story is soothing, albeit it doesnt affirm or negate much of my choices. This is just a pat in the back that my concerns are just as normal as others, albeit concerning a different aspect of their life.
