heavenly delusion mentioned. kiruko is one of my favourite characters ever, really good trans representation. i need to get up to date on the manga, i tried to order physical copies online because it's super hard to find in my country but i guess i'll just settle for reading the scans.

Terrible trans rep, there is no transgender people. Kiruko feels like a boy with a boy body and feels like a girl with a girl body. There is no transition happening.

Kiruko feels like a girl but subconsciously still sees herself as a boy, which leads to her being unsure of herself and disassociating. I think it's pretty nice in terms of representation and the situation is unique enough where it's hard to say if Kiruko is a guy or a girl

i relate to her a lot as someone who's been mostly stealth for the past five years but still struggles a lot with self-identity and where exactly i fit in and is in some ways still very attached to my old "boy" self. like my core memories are of me as a boy but the people i meet don't see that and always assume i had a female childhood even though i just didn't and i find it a bit alienating to have to pretend i did have one. obviously it doesn't depict transition per se, but it's a good representation of how it feels to have been on a long journey with regards to gender and still not really entirely sure of who you are.
