| Please tell me she's a girl please, please please Is Nanachi gonna become another Pitou? |
| https://i.imgur.com/IgMdGAl.png straight from the mangaka himself |
So she was a girl, but now Nanachi is genderless, right? |
| It doesn't matter. |
 |
| Who gives a fuck? the real question is if Marulk is a boy or not. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
Infatuate said: Who gives a fuck? the real question is if Marulk is a boy or not. It almost looks like the author of the manga likes playing with genders |
| Pretty sure she's a girl. Her embarrassed reaction to being touched by Reg (a boy) is a good enough indicator for me. Would still <3 her even if she turns out to be a male, though. |
 |
| she is a girl odv, at least when she was an human. The dudes who say that she's a boy because of reg need to know that lesbian exists if that even means that she doesnt like reg getting close (maybe shes just the tsundere type) |
 |
| I think "she" is a girl, since anytime Reg tried to pat her she was quick to make a fuss and one time she said she didn't liked being touched by him because he touched her in a "lascivous" way. Of course, it could be "she" didn't liked being touched by Reg because "she" is actually boy and prefers being touched by females. When she was human, her appearence was pretty androgynous too, and she didn't have noticeable boobs like Mitty, so she can be anything at this point. |
 |
| LMAO! Nanachi is definitely a girl. Even discussing this is so absurd. If you try to be so skeptic, Reg may be female with an attached male organ. Riko might be male as well, with a deep background story about a surgery. Seriously, you don't have right to pollute this story with your sick homosexual fantasy. |

| The author literally said Nanachi is genderless so there's nothing "definitive" about this |
  |
Otakezz said: No, as seen in the mangaka's post. When Nanachi was human it was not specified if he or she was a boy or girl. But the current Nanachi is genderless. The author doesn't have to specify it in his post if it's already in the manga and in the anime. lol Nanachi was a girl before turning into this. |

ericli said: nanachi is girl. because she calls herself オイら(oera). this is mean "I" by girl in japan. maruruku is boy. because he calls himself ぼく(boku) boku cannot be used in girl. only boy can use boku so maruruku is a boy absolutely . Pretty much the only explanation y'all needed to figure if Nanachi's a girl or nah. Jeez. She's a girl, folks. |

| Nanachi is a boy - He seems happy to be petted/hugged by Riko, but uncomfortable when Reg does the same. To me that's a typical straight male reaction. Close physical contact with other males is off-putting but the same with females is desired. Maruruku is a trap (boy) - He is mistaken for a girl because of the cute dress that Ouzen surely forces him to wear because she, with her rotten personality, finds it entertaining/amusing. He shows the typical reaction of a young male, when he blushes upon seeing Riko's naked body. |

| i say boy but thats only cos thats what i prefer to imagine not for any deep reason (mostly so i have a boyxboy ship lol) |
| It's a girl I hope Nanachi was not a trap! :D |

Where do you find those information? I'd say Nanachi's male. Nanachi calls themselves "オイら (Oira)". Which is an informal pronoun usually used by males. It's similar to "Ore", but more casual. Evokes a person with a low class or rural background. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pronouns http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns?from=Main.JapanesePronouns Marulk is clearly a male. He used "Boku" which usually used by male. It can also used by female to act tomboyish. It's not strictly male but it's very uncommon for female to use "Boku". However it's clear that Marulk himself is somewhat confused about his own identity when Reg confided that he doesn't know what he really is, Marulk said that he feels the same too about himself.

This should have ended the thread right here, but judging from the poll results people are too caught up in their own gendered perceptions of reality to see anything differently. If the mangaka declared Nanachi genderless then that's it. No mannerisms that people are nitpicking over in this thread can change that. |
| She's a penguin. |
 |
| But Nanachi is a cute little boy. :/ |
 |
| Most likely was previously male. 1.) Bashful and modest personality, yet walks around topless. If he was a girl he would still wear a top even though he’s now an it, since he kept his thoughts, and would still mentally be a girl. 2.) Did not have boob lines in the flashbacks, which even flat chested riko has. 3.) Relationship with mitty, a girl. So either they’re lesbians or he was male. 4.) Thinks rubbing his fur is sexual contact, approves of riko rubbing him, not reg. So, again, either lesbian or male. |

Either way, author is a perv. 1.) Explanation breaks the 4th wall. 2.) The lines drawn around the chest to indicate a female character. EX: Mitty, Riko, etc 3.) Doesn’t have to be sexual, but is most likely romantic. I don’t see how else such a deep relationship can be created in such a short amount of time other than love at first sight. I’ve never heard of friendship at first sight. 4.) Doesn’t negate the chance he is male, could be gay and fits with your suggestion that his relationship with mitty was platonic. |

| There's already one trap in that show, two would be overboard. |
| In the words of Sasha Velour: Gender is a construct, tear it apart! Meaning, it doesn’t matter. Some people just don’t like, understand, or accept that it could be either, both, or even neither, which doesn’t fit their narrow views of sex, sexuality, and gender. I think that’s what the author is getting at with this and Marulk, he obviously likes to play with social and sexual taboos. |

RuleBreakinMoth said: I believe Nanachi was a boy before the experiment. The flash back chapter was very ambiguous about the gender, while Mitty was immediately identified as female. And I disagree with Riko vs Reg interaction with Nanachi. I think he enjoys Riko touching him, while Reg makes him uncomfortable since Reg is also male. Plus he blushes at Riko's lack of modesty. I dunno, I didn't really have to scrutinize, Nanachi just seemed male. Even though he's very cutesy. If Nanachi could blush in Riko's lack of modesty you think Nanachi could've remove Riko's clothes and shove something in her ass that casually while Reg reacted? Plus, when Reg touches Nanachi, Nanachi says "bcoz your touches felt perverted". A boy wouldn't say that to another boy And with Riko, Nanachi is pretty okay with her being touch by her, she looks like getting tickled compared to when Reg do it, Nanachi reacts like she's being molested |

| I'm pretty sure "oira" is a male pronoun but well I know that doesn't prove anything because there are also plenty of tomboyish female characters that use the male "boku" for example. Me personally I'd classify Nanachi as a male character. His relationship with Mitty seemed kind of romantic to me. Also he was super blushy around Mitty when she first approached him. The other thing some people already mentioned is that Nanashi doesn't wear something to cover his chest. Even if he's technically genderless now it would make sense if he'd still cover it because well he also wears pants even though he wouldn't need to, right? At the end of the day though I wouldn't argue about this topic too much it's obvious that the author himself has quite a lot of fun to keep it a secret or rather to let everyone have his/her own thoughts about it so there is no right or wrong answer to that question =) |
| she was a girl at first point,now she is maybe genderless |
