I TRIED TO BAIT THE TXPOL THREAD WITH THE WORLD'S WORST POSSIBLE TAKE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID AVATAR.

Was it this thread or another one that established egg is kind of a bad term?

Anyways, there are male-identifying people who do like to dress up very cutely. I don't know how Hiura identifies, but I am glad they are expressing themselves in a way they enjoy.

Less 'established' and more 'controversial'

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
i think its easier to say with that manga that viewing hiura as directly trans is a fairly obvious possible reading

That was more in response to some folks overzealously labeling real people eggs, less so with interpretations of fictional characters.

Milk's on them.


"Egg" is (or at least should be) an interpretation of a character rather than an outwardly-impressed identity on an individual, fictional or otherwise. It says a lot more about the speaker than it does the subject.

I thought I made it clear in my post that this is my opinion? I didn't even use "an egg" to describe Hiura, I said "she's hatching her egg" which is shorthand for "figuring out her feelings and overall identity."

'coming out as trans by dressing up one day and loving it, and now my best friend is pampering and falling in love with me' is the best manga genre

someone is going to point out to me this tends to be more in stuff where its more of a magical explanation but that is a bit different and often has less pampering... though hero who pulled the sword does have a lot of good teasing

You'll never convince me Hiura's not a trans girl who's laboriously hatching her egg.

I've seen a lot of chaste romance but this is a new level of chaste and I love it. And yes, egg is controversial (mostly when applied to other, real people), but when discussing manga it's fine in my opinion.

And at this point I'm honestly divided on how I feel about how Hiura may ultimately end up with their gender identity! Finding that they are trans would be lovely but being male and expressing their gender differently is also perfectly valid and beautiful.

And it seems like the next arc will focus on her, which is just wonderful :3: Not to mention that the prospect of the demon lord's castle turning into a haven for the persecuted where everyone's allowed to be themselves is such a great direction for this story.

Hello lgbt thread, I'm looking for a manga that I saw mentioned in a tweet a while ago. The premise is that it's two women who are neighbors, one of them is the director for a famous tv show (?) and the other one is obsessed with that show but doesn't know that the director is living next door. And then they meet and fall in love, I guess.

I must have gotten something wrong because Google isn't giving me anything :( Does anyone here know of something like that?

The summary reminds me of A Girl Like a Pilgrim, but that's about a mangaka and a rather obsessive fan.

That must be it! I don't know where I got director from. Thank you so much :hfive:

I don't know if you can ask for recommendations here, but are there any notable manga that have bi characters? Especially women but guys are okay too. I have only read wlw titles before, I've never seen any with bi characters.

No, it's just a bunch of magical girl shows. There's some callbacks and some crossover movies but there's no continuous narrative between shows, not even in the background or subtly implied. Just pick whichever season seems most appealing to you.

That is just such a cute manga. Also, I thought it was pretty funny that that girl was into 3D boys (as opposed to 2D boys).
