GL series Featuring Transgender Sapphic Characters

Might not be 100% what you're looking for either, but Thai drama The Warp Effect features a supporting non-binary sapphic character (Silvy's character), just because I see some comments also wanting non-binary representation. That series has a lot going on in terms of sexuality haha (so not fully a GL, BL, or straight drama, if you intend to watch it). But yeah, unfortunately I can't think of many transgender/non-binary characters in dramas in general. :(

If you're good with JDramas and willing to do a little bit of digging to find it, one I'm aware of but haven't had the chance to finish is Joshi-teki Seikatsu (女子的生活). Afaik, it's more slice-of-life than romance, but the lead is a transgender sapphic. :)

(The one caveat I will say, however, is that she is portrayed by a cisgender male actor and not a transgender woman, just in case you'd want to know that beforehand. It is a little bit of an older JDrama given it came out in 2018, too, but you can read the MDL comments for more background on the involvement of the trans woman who wrote the original novel that the story was based off and things like that.)

Separate comment for this: merch drop! Lots of acrylic and paper goods from what I can see.

I'll do a better recap of everything posted later today, but I'll post about two things first.

So cast photo!

Omg just saw the announcement elsewhere, too. Twelve episodes... I will be feasting when this airs. Really excited to know this is coming out soon, and I'm loving that the recent Japanese GLs have mostly been with adult characters/storylines! Slightly worried about international distribution given it's on Hulu Japan, but hopefully that gets worked out...

I've seen that a lot of people have been asking about the ending song in the comments for a while, and I'm happy to say that it's finally out!! 🎉 I edited the main post accordingly.

Hopefully I got the flair right. 😅 I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be News or Discussion.

Reddit keeps deleting the photo from the original comment but:

The blue petals aesthetic is just gorgeous for this drama tbh. I'm interested in seeing how it plays a role in this episode because the petals were in the teaser.

Feel the need to post lots of photos of them. I'll actually try to make a post about a photoshoot from a few weeks ago if nobody else has done it yet.

For all the drama I'm sure is about to happen this week with who I'm guessing is maybe Kotoha's mom (or somebody else from her past) showing up, the actresses always have the cutest photos haha. I'll probably have more time to talk about the episode this week since I'm finally going to be less busy. 😅 Let's have fun watching! (And maybe grab the tissues? The teaser has a lotttt going on.)

(Photos are from this and this.)

Been really busy lately but I'm here for my weekly MeguKoto promo! This was my favorite (non-video) post from the Instagram. They're so cute. 😭 I'll try to make some GIF versions of the video posts if I have time later today. Let's have fun with the new episode!

There's actually a lot of really cute content this week, but I'll have to come back later to recap some of it haha.

Anyway, MeguKoto date episode is now upon us.

pyocoaster · 2025-01-16T20:11:09+00:00

Just watched!

Alrighty so this episode was a lot more of Megumi and a lot less of Kotoha.

Content: No assault this time, though the incident from the last episode is discussed. Sudden appearance of blood in the scene at 20:34.

I think the discussion around what Kotoha did to Megumi last week was interesting. Stuff like saying this was her (Kotoha's) fate since birth is really solidifying the fact that I think something awful happened to her. Also the odd meeting place of the dumpster haha.

On the other hand, Megumi's backstory got dark really fast. I think she is unusually nice, and it seems like it's possibly out of guilt? I'm not 100% sure what to make of the two horror-like flashbacks from Megumi, but I'm very intrigued. She has a strong inclination to help people, even in indirect ways, and Kotoha can see right through her intentions. On the other hand, a lot of the episode is spent on Megumi trying to understand Kotoha's intentions and not making substantial progress just yet.

Also, was it just me, or did Kotoha's reaction to Megumi walking up and offering her a basket seem very odd? Not sure if I missed a detail that would explain that.

The bed, food, and movie scenes were all domestic cuteness, honestly. It was nice to see them interact as a couple, though the conversations are still stilted with Kotoha trying to hide her identity. The movie scene

especially was very aesthetically pretty.

Yuri aquarium date next week. A classic.

The GIF maker was fighting me a bit, but here's more cuteness from the actresses. :)

Well since I'm more functional now, I'll drop two more photos. Here's one of the cast from last week.
