The conclusion of the Melk arc is so good in the manga though, just because of the words Komatsu uses.
In the anime he says "Melk should feel comfortable being a woman" or something and I'm like sure yeah but not what I wanna hear
In the manga he says "Melk can be a woman if she wants" and the wording of that is just so powerful to me?
Like he's acknowledging that she was assigned female at birth but that's not why she's a woman. He's saying he sees that the reason she was presenting herself as a man was because she felt societally pressured into being a man, not because she wanted to be one. He's not doing Ye Olde Sexism (a horribly common trope) of realizing a woman has been pretending to be a guy or even just dressing in non-feminine ways and being like FREE YOURSELF FROM YOUR SHACKLES even if they're clearly more comfortable that way. Nor is he treating being masc-presenting as any sort of problem, he doesn't want her to change, he just wants her to be comfortable and if this is comfortable then that's cool.
And in fact after that Melk doesn't change at all. She tells people she's a woman, if it comes up, but she continues to bind and dress masculine and doesn't feel pressured to pass either way. Melk is a woman because she wants to be, and neither her presentation or her assigned sex actually have anything to do with it.

I guess feminine man essence would be the billion bird egg?
You are my muse.
Have a quick sketch I made of whatever type of solidarity this is

Melk II: What’s a queen without her king? Well, historically speaking, more powerful.

At the moment I'm having a Toriko and KHR brainrot
And I'm thinking what would Komatsu (who is obviously a sky (and maybe maybe a little cloudy)) would have as guardians
Here is who I think is his guardians (in order of meeting them) :
Toriko - Mist / Probably the first Guardian or just the main / As for why he is a Mist I just think it fits
Coco - Rain / Second Guardian / Being a Rain just fits him
Sunny - Storm / Third Guardian if Rin doesn't take the spot of second Mist first / The hardest to put into a category , idk what his secondary is
Zebra - Could / Fourth Guardian / Typical Cloud behavior until he met a sky whit both a lot of strength to hold him and amazing computability ( who is also an amazing cook)
Brunch - Lightning / Fifth Guardian / Already rocking the electricity and also has both the personality and the smarts
Starjun - Sun / Sixth Guardian / An overzealous Sun who despite having met the world strongest sky (who he is very much compatible with) didn't start to court properly until after he kidnapped Komatsu
Honorable mentions :
Midora - Cloud / Tried to get the position of Second or Third Cloud Guardian / might be one of Komatsu's element's
Rin - Mist / Is the Second Mist Guardian
Melk 2 - Rain / Tried to get the position of Second Rain / One of Komatsu's element's
Setsuno - Mist / Has a connection with Jiro with flames / is also one of Komatsu's element's
Jiro - Lightning and maybe Cloud secondary / Has a flame connection with Setsuno / Probably isn't one of Komatsu's element's but might be
Ichiryu - Could with Sun and/or Sky as secondary / Doesn't have a connection with Komatsu
Ippei - Could / Second Cloud Guardian / got picked up by Komatsu
Idk about the rest

Some characters from Toriko and their red flags.
TORIKO: slightly sexist. No I have not forgotten how he treated Melk the second.
SUNNY: mean. Regina George but buff and with rainbow hair. Probably runs a version of gossip girl.
COCO: this man is so very good and nice. Probably should remember to take his meds though.
ZEBRA: absolute hell towards hospitality and retail workers.
STARJUN: thinks a measure of violence solves everything
KOMATSU: cries when you make him order his own pizza on the phone
RIN: some pick-me tendencies. Girl, stand up.
TEPPEI: thinks being aware of his red flags makes them better instead of fixing them.
ICHIRYUU: professional gaslighter but in a fun way
JIROU: drunk. Obviously.
MIDORA: won’t go to therapy.

Got any headcanons for Teppei or Melk II?
I really love fulfilling your requests! May I offer headcanons for both?! I think I have plenty! I hope you enjoy these!
Teppei
1) Finds it very taxing to put up his hair every morning. He, however, has so much hair that it gets in the way to it’s better for work to wear it up.
2) Sometimes can find his scars bothersome. The more he stares at them in the mirror, the stranger they look and it irks him a little.
3) Secretly heeds skincare and beauty advice from Sani. Because he’s a Saiseiya, he has love and concern for the preservation of ingredients but he can sometimes forget to nurture himself too. Realizing it was a problem, at some point he began to take care of himself more.��
4) Likes to go for drinks on his own. It’s one way for him to wind down and relax a little. He doesn’t take many breaks. 
5) He was once interested in colouring his hair to a darker tone, maybe brown. Decided against it because all he owns is green clothing and it probably wouldn’t suit it very well. 
6) Recently developed an interest in trinkets and jewellery. I think he would own a ring and pendant collection. He doesn’t get to wear the rings much because he wears gloves on the job. 
7) He finds beauty spots to be fascinating. He also appreciates features on others that stand out that maybe they may not like.
Melk II 
1) I feel like she likes styling her hair and attempting different hairstyles in her free time. She once got caught in the middle of one of these sessions by Melk I and was extremely embarrased. Since then, she tries to do these more discreetly. 
2) On that note, she also likes to dress up sometimes. Since she is so skilled at crafting knives, it kind of followed onto sewing and other craft related skills. She makes her own clothes and gets really excited whenever she purchases and finds new materials to work with. 
3) She spends her free time in quiet introspection, looking to focus her mind and sharpen her craft by visualizing the process and outcome of a perfect blade. 
4) She finds that when she leaves small work unfinished, she has very strange and obscure dreams. After she wakes from them she usually goes to finish the work, even if it is in the dead of night. 
5) Melk II loves to indulge in long baths after an arduous day of work. She values and cherishes this time of relaxation. She tries her best to not spend too much time in there since she once feel asleep and when she woke up it was morning! 
6) Goes for walks in the nearby forestry in the early morning. This helps to wake her up and freshen her mind. Enjoys the sounds of nature and breathing in the clear air. 
7) Developed a recent interest in expressive dance though she would dare not tell anyone! How cute!

Usually "they didn't communicate well" is a really annoying cause of drama, but tbh the way they do it in the Melk arc guts me no matter how many times I see it
