I still think he is. They didn’t show us who his partner is, they just said “welcome back.” So i still believe that chief is gay (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
that can be a headcanon for u! however, our trans team in the footnotealr explained that in japan, only legally married couples can adopt & japan hasn't legalize same marriage yet
I know that, but that could be one of their children from a previous marriage. Or it could be another family member’s child and that family member is no longer around. Or it could be their children but they adopted them somewhere else. There is a reason why the spouse was not shown and the author would’ve hinted at chief’s sexuality in such an ambiguous way for so long. Imo it’s canon. Plus, by all means this is a fictional piece, laws may not be the same if that’s all that’s stopping the author.
We’re so quick to say it’s headcanon when it’s about lgbtq+ relationships. From what the author has put in this chapter and others, it’s headcanon that it’s a straight relationship :)!
Am I the only one who thought the Chief was gay? Istg I thought there was part of the manga that made it seem like that. (￣∇￣")
