[jewlwpet]

Space Pirate Mito is weird because it has a very clumsily handled sex change of its protagonist where it's like "Your body is female now so you have to be a girl" and nobody ever seriously challenges this. Iirc season 1 ends with the protagonist trying to "find a planet where I can be a boy," but this goal has been abandoned by season 2 with no particular explanation as to why.

...However, there is a character who challenges this attitude with regard to himself, as he has a gender identity (male) that is at odds with how he is perceived by those around him (neither male nor female) due to his physical body. and he is a villain but he is never vilified for this; if anything, it seems like it's meant to make him more sympathetic.

It's kind of interesting that there are no parallels drawn between their situations. I think the two of them having a heart to heart, whether in between seasons or post-series, would make for a very interesting fanfiction, although I don't plan to write it and I doubt anyone else will as the series is quite obscure.

Ken Ga Toki

I’m currently into playing Ken ga Toki, which is a mobile josei-muke RPG made by Xiimoon and Rejet. It’s set in the same world as Ken ga Kimi (which I started playing but didn’t get that far in for reasons which I may post about some day) but isn’t an otome game (doesn’t have romance plotlines). Instead the story is about how Himari, a girl from modern Japan, is somehow chosen by a sword god to save what seems like a parallel world Japan (but with youkai and oni, and it’s called Nakatsu no Kuni, not Japan) from the marebito (the inhabitants of the underworld). Her teacher and some other students are also sent to Nakatsu, but you don’t meet them for awhile. Many of the characters are versions of famous historical people, such as Tokugawa Mitsukuni, Matsuo Basho, Yui Shosetsu, Kano Tanyu, Itou Ittousai, etc. For some reason Matsuo Basho is a ninja. 

Like many other mobile RPG, there’s a ton of characters, and you get them via gatcha (although the system is somewhat generous in that on the banners the first twenty pulls guarantees you an SSR, and in my experience you have a fairly good chance of getting the SSR character. (They usually have both an UR and an SSR character with higher rates). But the UR pull rates are brutal, and in about two months of playing, I only have one UR card. That said, this doesn’t really affect your gameplay as much, except that you miss out on some of the unlockable stories and powerups by not having the highest card available for a character. The gameplay is grindy, but since you can eventually auto through it, I didn’t find that much of an issue. 

The story is also being gradually unlocked. The first four chapters were available from the beginning, and the fifth was recently released in Japanese. (The Chinese version, which is ahead, has up to the 6th chapter, but I don’t know Chinese so I have no idea what happens.) Some of how the story is presented is also confusing, because a lot of the characters that are easy to get (SR rarity) haven’t even appeared in the main storyline. 

Although the story is somewhat mcguffiny/fetch-quest (we must collect the various items to unlock the shrine! oh noes, someone stole one of the five sacred swords, we have to go get it back!) I enjoy the characters and the worldbuilding. The interactions between the characters are also frequently hilarious, and the heroine, Himari, has more guts and fighting skill than I expected, although she is the kind of extremely saintly person most otome/josei-muke games have. 

Current progress:  

SR characters:  Have SR cards all except for one

SSR characters:  Have SR cards for all except for Shakushain. Need SSR cards for Daikichi, Moka, Shousetsu, and Francois Caron. 

UR characters:  Only have a UR card for Ruko. Missing SSR cards for Aoi, Hagi Ransetsu, Kugamaru, and Izuna.

(Space Pirate Mito S1 spoilers)

Basically, the villain of Space Pirate Mito S1 grew up believing he and Mito would rule the galaxy together after one of them inherited the throne, but he was disinherited, imprisoned, and consigned to being legally considered a minor forever because of transphobia*, leading him to become a dictator to get revenge on the royal family.

*Or something like that--it's a metaphor--members of his species choose (or are assigned? it's unclear) their sex as they come of age, but he refused, saying he was already a man and didn't need a ritual to confirm it.

Mito was totally innocent in all of this, but he targets her and her son out of resentment, as he associates her with everything that was denied to him: power, privilege, and love.

Still, Mito forgives him once he's completely defeated and no longer a threat. The narrative definitely doesn't vilify him for being trans.

But as all this is going on, Aoi is "turned female" and nobody ever questions that this means Aoi has to be a girl if Aoi's body doesn't change back. I get that it's a plot device, but it's strange that the writers seem to respect Ranban's identity while treating the issue as moot in Aoi's case.

That said, as I've talked about in previous posts, it's not explicitly clear how Aoi feels about this: there are numerous indications that Aoi does want to go back, but if you want to believe that Aoi actually wishes to remain a girl, you can. If nothing else, the S2 OP certainly supports it, as the very first line is "I'm a happy but shy girl."
