and it's pretty damn obvious that she's so jealous of shizuma bc he's able to be himself openly without fear while she's afraid of people judging her if they knew she's biologically male.
womp womp
I don’t think that’s the direction the story’s going in.
litrally brah
I don't think the director dress as a woman by choice (choice in the sense of like, bc they feel like a woman). You can see how uncomfortable the director got when that customer started talking as if they were a woman (praising them for being a woman with a career an such). The fact that the director hasn't correct anyone calling them a woman, I think is more like a "let them believe whatever they want" attitude. As I would really LOVE to see a trans character in japanese media, is very unlikely, and I think the story will go into like a trauma with the sister of the director or something like their parents make them dress like a girl (very common trope in manga, more so than actually having a trans character<3), so yeah... I think probably they would identify as a man in the end.
i really don't like how yall are calling the director a he. she responds to she. read the room and respect that.
