Show is Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai - Jellyfish can't swim in the night

Probably spoilers. Last warning.

spoilerHere: https://yorukura.fandom.com/wiki/Kiui_Watase

I did this based on this scene from episode 11: https://streamable.com/oq226r

Comrade Kiui is FtM.

Not only that but his name "Watase" splits into "Wata" which means "crossing" or "ferry," often used in Japanese names to imply traversing a river or similar feature, hinting at transitions or change. While "se" meaning "rapids" or "change" is also another blatantly huge clue.

I haven't worked out what Kiui might reference, it's written in Katakana and some think it's the Kiwi bird. I don't know if this is related or not, someone else might.

QED

EDIT: Edit war has begun.

Mahiru is the only person with whom Kiui feels comfortable discussing the past without reservation, and (s)he's always willing to help her/his dear friend.

I'm too autistic to figure out if the last line is referring to Mahiru or Kiui?

Ahh hmm. That's probably referring to Mahiru? I think.

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

That's also what I was thinking, in which case it should be she/her.
