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.
