it’s very special to me how colopale made mizuki trans and then they narratively paired her up with ena, a certified misandrist lesbian (to me). in a way i think the mere fact that ena loves mizuki so much and she feels so comfortable around her is in and of itself a dismissal of the misreading of mizuki as a just another “otokonoko”. ena’s clear disinterest in men (see sanrio comment) and antagonism towards them (she legit very very rarely interacts with a man who isn’t her father, and we all know what their relationship is like, or her brothers, whose head she chews off 24/7) are narratively poignant for both ena’s character (her art is put down by a man who believes her weak, she objectifies herself in an attempt to achieve agency etc.) but also her relationship with mizuki. tbh we can even imagine that ena’s dislike for / disinterest in men might have also had a role in mizuki’s fear of things changing if she came out. there’s some angst potential there. but the truth is mizuki is a woman and ena sees her as such and loves her the most so jot that down
