#@hellomelancholic said it really well as like ''this character is canon trans whether the author meant it or not''

[girlwarlock]

so i'm reading Hello Melancholic by Ohsawa Yayoi and the 'holy shit transgender' vibes continue to be off the fucking charts

with minato afraid to occupy space with the other girls in the band and afraid to eat as much as she wants or even at all is *extremely* mirroring my experiences of almost always being the tallest girl in the room and feeling like i'm Existing too much even among people who are delighted to have me there

anyway. i know that's not a universal thing but it's like this story was tailor made to stab me in the heart

#Extremely Transgender Trombonist #<- that's my tag for the ''hello melancholic'' manga #i'm confident this is nothing but i'm posting it anyway #its name looks like it's just a japanese transliteration of english 'hello melancholic' (she says having not studied japanese in 15 years) #[squinting at katakana] heloo melankolikku [using 'l's for ロ and リ even though they're ''''technically'''' formally 'ro' and 'ri'] #because they represent 'l' sounds in the english words being transliterated #because written japanese doesn't have a distinction between 'r' and 'l' #@hellomelancholic said it really well as like ''this character is canon trans whether the author meant it or not''
