Mermaid Line · review
The series focuses quite a lot on bittersweet sort of endings, with people able to move on in their own way but rarely in the typical romance genre conventional happy ending - to the point that for some, it is doubtful whether 'happy' is right at all to describe it. If you like your yuri with a bit bitter, and prefer a slightly serious tone as would be more common in Josei then this is for you. Also contains good, albeit dated, trans rep for 2008. At the time it was common to either state the full term 'GID' (seidouitsuseishougai) which is cumbersome to say, orto state 'I have the heart/soul of a woman'/'I am a woman at heart'. These terms, and some of the other ways that medical transitioning is depicted/described, have seen gradually less and less use over the past decade and a half as borrowing terms from English for gender has become more common and social awareness in Japan is higher.
