English localization announced, but there is a nuance

I'll be honest I don't really understand what exactly trans means, it's not really a thing where I live (maybe in the capital idk) so I guess I don't care. Anyone read this? Is it good? The *guy* looks cute

@Commit_Crime This is a classic boy x otokonoko romance that was one of the first to play with the idea of ​​a male protagonist becoming the object of attention of an androgynous boy living as a girl. It does have some trans elements, but the author continues to position Hibari as a femboy or someone like that.

@RobertBobert

Maybe I am going to read that, it's cute when it's in anime or manga. I also see that there are fan translations in both English and Russian on Mangadex so I guess I can skip whatever problems you said the localization is going to have.

Have you read Hibari? Despite the manga’s age, Hibari absolutely reads as a trans character. She may not literally face the reader and say “I am a transgender woman” but she does repeatedly throughout the manga assert that she is a woman. You can argue intention, but I’d say at a certain point death of the author comes into play here. Hibari lives her daily life as a woman, sees herself as a woman, and hates being called a man. Even if she was not written with the intention of being a trans character, trans woman is a much closer description to how she is written than anything else.
