ok idk the whole journey but the way he announced he didn't feel like a man wasn't what I expected from an actual trans character. the first part is still ok but the later part when he mentioned how he wanted to be jinguji's gf and how it was (kinda) his fault that tachibana didn't want to be a man again sounds to me like he only wanted to be a girl so he can be jingu's gf (main reason).
IF this wasn't a joke, then it's another misconception from jp author how love can change someone gender or how gender need to change if you want to be with someone of the same gender. I mean, I still remember the past scenes with tachibana og's body and he didn't show hint that he ever feel his male body was wrong. it was only until he got magicked into a female body he began to get used to it.
imo he just gets used to it, he had a whole journey and adventure, met a lot of people with his female identity, and also had his first crush with more chance of success than when he's a man, hat's why it was more meaningful than his og male body.
it's not the first time I read manga where a man turned into a woman then fall in love with his male friend then decided to stay a woman so they could get married and have kids. however I'm ok with that manga bc it's historical setting so I understand the couple wish to get married and have children tgt otherwise impossible with same sex marriage in historical setting.
I mean I am not familiar with transgender scene, but folks wanted to change gender for love seem a bit pitiful? like they should change for themselves not for other. ok honestly I'm just bored so I started this topic. tell me if I am wrong, and over the course of his journey tachibana really did honestly just want to be a woman regardless her feeling for her male friend or whether that jingguji will only be with her as her not him
