Despite this manga having a protagonist with a female body, pretty much all of the female characters are over sexualised. The clothes design for the people who fight is utterly ridiculous - the guys get practical trousers and armour and boots while the girls get a short skirt, some weird corset thing and thigh highs. You really think that's what girls would wear when fighting? Clearly this author/artist has never talked to a woman who can and has fought before; or they horny. Gotta be one of the two... Let's not even get into the part where a literal 12 year old is portrayed in the same sexualising way. I also wish it was brought up how uncomfortable someone who was previously in a male body and still views himself as a man would be in a female body **before the 'sexy' bath scene** and in a way that was more realistic and well thought out. Like being uncomfortable with wearing female clothes or having to take baths with women and being around women in different way from how it would have been in his previous life. The start of the ball room scene where he showed how unsettled he was with the predatory gazes of other men is what I mean. (Though that was him weirded out because he felt like they were leering at an old man, he was not weirded out by the fact that that those men felt like getting it with a child/someone many times their junior, interestingly enough.) It's not that I saying guys can't enjoy dresses or other things society tends to label as 'feminine' - it's just really weird how well he assimilated. In conclusion, this had potential but it did the thing where young girls and other women are treated as pretty things to be admired (they may be strong, but being pretty is still something they focus heavily on.) And I didn't even get to talking about the fact that the highest level weapon has a woman's body. Objectification, anyone? Why can't it be a guy too? Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Idk this is shitty manga that clearly isn't even that great and I'm sleep deprived af so maybe I'm reading too much into this and I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the 'separate reality from fiction' comments to show up after the maintenance thing is over. But my points still stand. Thanks for reading this far, u tenacious weirdo.
