I feel like they're gonna be all "well see mizuki can't be transfem because according to rev says desu Japan has released an official statement that only I can see because I've been blessed with the ULTIMATE SAMURAI KAMEHAMEHA which allows me to become god and defeat SJWs who try to control the japanese mizuki is actually cisgender because Japan says SJWs are actually removing everything which means that according to ninjutsu mizuki is officially cisgender because of SJW and LGBT trying to use their evil LGBT privilege to turn anime into transgender which means she can't be trans because Japanese rules and I have the secret overpowered katana which shows me the truth also btw Sega is my grandpa and he says mizuki is cis and pjsk is actually pandering to SJWs which is true because Sega told me and-"

no mizuki doesn't need to look straight into the camera and say she's transgender for it to be considered good trans rep but it's clear as day that clpl is dancing around confirming it for reals. a central part of mizu5 was that mizuki was robbed of her own agency as a queer person. she didn't get to come out on her own terms. she was outed. by her own bullies no less. a huge hope for ena5 was for mizuki to reclaim that agency that was taken from her, and say it with her own words. but for her true coming out to be censored by a black screen? locked in a side story? are you serious?

we know that mizuki is trans. you can't even consider this implicit media subtext. we know that when ena says "mizuki is mizuki," she means that she doesn't see mizuki any differently. her love for mizuki does not change just because she finds out she is trans. she isn't walking on eggshells around her. but "mizuki is mizuki" is also a cheap excuse for freaks to insist otherwise, and with. wd lineup. the area convos that specifically talk about mizuki's interesting vocal range. grouping mizuki up with the boys for some reason. it's clear that clpl is pandering to that freak audience while also leading their queer audience along on a leash.

i don't need explicit confirmation to know that mizuki is trans. mizuki is a wonderful trans character. but for clpl to "imply" it and do nothing to disprove any other argument, never go beyond "mizuki is mizuki," keep mizuki's gender listed as ?, only puts a sour taste in my mouth.

To me mizurui is just these lyrics from piano man idk how to fully articulate the full scope of my feelings on their relationship but it’s very “the thing that ties us together is being outcasts.” They aren’t each others best friends and they don’t have much in common besides previous loneliness but they’re still important to each other because they shared in this experience together. They couldn’t help each other but they could suffer side by side and that’s better than being alone.

PLEASE I had almost this exact experience in high school, I was heavily in the closet and my best friend said something like “yeah I’m probably nonbinary but I have other shit to worry about so like. Anyway did you read that book for English class yet?” And my whole brain just blue screened

this is my second post where mizuki is having a crisis about her identity, sorta its pretty funny to me tho so whatever :P

Mizuki Akiyama is one of the most realistic portrayals of a trans-feminine person in any media and the event story method Project Sekai has of telling its casts story really benefits Mizuki's arc. Her issues have been subtly shown and implied since the game started 4 years ago.

She doesn't feel comfortable going to school due to the way kids in her class and in the school generally bully her for her gender presentation. Mizuki tries to not let it bother her with her generally friendly personality and acts as if it doesn't bother her.

Outside of An and later Akito she doesn't feel comfortable getting closer to anyone in her real life, out of fear of them finding out who she truly is. It's due to this that her time on Niigo helped her figure herself out over time.

Due to contacting each other through Nightcord, Mizuki doesn't have the same fear initially that they'll find out she's trans and isn't 'like them'. That is until they get closer as a group and start meeting up in person. Ena specifically gets close to Mizuki and starts worrying.

Ena can tell Mizuki has a secret that weighs on her, but she doesn't want to be forceful about getting Mizuki to tell her. Mizuki is grateful for this and spends a lot of time watching Mafuyu, Ena and Kanade grow over their time as a group.

More and more, she feels she has to open up to them about who she is or she'll never progress as a person in the same way they have. She works up the courage to at least tell Ena over time to pay her back for her kindness and friendship.

Unfortunately, she gets outed in the worst way possible by Ena hearing a classmate misgender Mizuki and make fun of her for being friends with Mizuki. This makes Mizuki panic and worry the worst without hearing Ena out.

It's realistic, and the way Mizuki's issues have been portrayed so far are realistic to the fear trans and non binary people struggle with opening up about their identity to others. Out of fear of being treated differently or abused in the same way others did to them in the past.

Anyway, all of this to say Mizuki Akiyama is one of my favorite characters in general and I'm glad Project Sekai treated her character with care and respect the entire time the game has been going on for.
