MHA has canonically trans characters in it, which is pretty good as far as manga/anime goes. Hell, I can't, offhand, think of any other even vaguely mainstream piece of media that has sympathetic trans characters in it.

Of course, Sleepless Domain is over here with Tessa the Token Straight.

One Piece has sympathetic trans characters. Sometimes it misses the mark, especially with Sanji, but I think Oda's heart is generally in the right place.

One of my favorite MHA scenes with the villains was when the two League members angrily corrected that guy on Magne's pronouns. You're not wrong.

But yeah SD is a firm adherent to the philosophy that characters should be queer unless you've got a compelling reason to make them straight. Man, I hope this comic is getting worldwide attention, because it's some of the best magical girl media out there.

It got a successful Kickstarter for the first volume, I have it sitting in my library.

Of course that's different from being picked up by an actual publisher, but still.

Jury is not bi, neither is Shiori, this is a pretty important plot point (in the show, I get the sense the anime did not do🤺 justice).

I think those are the only characters I’m aware of that aren’t though.

Before I knew Bud’s name and Vedika’s face I thought the scene talking about Vedika’s powers were actually about Bud, and thought she got all her intel by passive mind reading. Turns out she’s just that good, and I’m here for it.

My theory about how she knows so much about what goes on at night is still that she has reconnaissance powers that compliment her laser powers. But I would also accept that her gossip abilities are entirely mundane and need no explanation. That would maybe even be preferable.

Back when we first saw her reporting that Undine was looking for a team and Lime had a boyfriend, that's all information she could have got from a single chat with the twins!

She's just got a good network. Presumably heard from Kokoro's fans that she called Undine her partner.

Cassidy puns aside, I like the little chibi look in the third panel. It's very cute. Looks like something you could assemble out of lego figures or something.

Maybe this is mean, but aside from the dot eyes and simpler shading the chibi look appears pretty much the same as Mary's normal style to me.

Nah I don't think it' mean, it's pretty neat that her style translates into chibi style so smoothly. It usually sticks out to me when most anime do it since characters tend to be rail thin, and I like how it blends in naturally here.

Kind of impressed how quickly Mary got out the second page this week.

It's time to play the blame game! Who is really at fault? I'm gonna make an out-there vote for Miss Nasri, since if she hadn't booked Kokoro to be too busy to turn up to the club Cassidy would never have confronted Undine

Undine, what you're feeling right now is called survivor guilt and it's why these girls need therapists.

To be fair it's been stated that there are theropists (and meds) involved, just how much 'dine is engaging with that in lieu of Goops Huntin', however, has not been disclosed.

There are therapists and meds involved for HP. Undine has explicitly copped to using neither of those things to Zoe. Which is a large part of the problem.

Undine told her manager back in chapter 14 that she is seeing a therapist now. Of course, this current situation has unfolded so fast she hasn't had a chance to talk to them about it.

Magical Girl marketing is so strong that you almost forget there was a mortality rate before Goops started ramping things up.

Fair enough. I wasn’t sure if I was making up stuff that happened between the end of the prologue (ch 2) and the story proper.

Oh yeah no, this place was a Hell Dimension long before the HP Lovecraft sludge gained sentience and started picking targets.
