@gallo_chopo@girlfare@heterogaydads@smxkezk@rakuichirakuthe I saw a YouTube comment saying, “If you look closely, Kirara is drawn with a male bone structure,” and it got a lot of likes.
Did you feel that way?
Honestly, I don’t really understand bone structure that well, so I couldn’t tell at all
@heterogaydads@smxkezk@rakuichirakuthe Since Kirara Hoshi looks like a girl, normally Panda would’ve answered “she’s a girl.” But he said “he’s a guy,” which means Panda must have heard about Kirara’s gender somewhere. Even if they weren’t that close, it’s possible he learned it indirectly through other people
@heterogaydads@smxkezk@rakuichirakuthe Panda answers “yeah” to Fushiguro’s question, “But the other third-year was a guy, right?”
And in Japan there’s the concept of “男の娘”—someone who looks like a girl but is actually male
Hoshi Kirara fits that perfectly
@smxkezk@rakuichirakuthe Hoshi Kirara is almost certainly a guy. The voice actor cast is Yuuki Sakakihara, who often plays androgynous male characters, and in this episode there’s even the line, “But the other third-year was a guy, right?”, which strongly supports that interpretation
@satoshokoism The reason it’s getting criticized in Japan is because it didn’t meet expectations. As for the popularity rankings, there are people voting like crazy all by themselves. And by the way, the person voting in this image is a woman. Japan also has tons of female fans for Naoya
